   • End of Previous Month: All recurring journal entry vouchers that are scheduled up to the end of the previous month are posted.
   • Scheduled Execution Date: All recurring journal entry vouchers that are scheduled up to the execution date of the run are posted.
6. Press Set to Active.

8. Select Option Recurrence and then define, in which pattern the run is to automatically start and when it is to end (Default End Date setting: No End Date).
9. Press Save and Close.
