Billing > APX > Recurring Payment Schedules
Amicus Cloud allows users to create, delete, suspend, and resume an APX Recurring Payment schedule for both the General Bank Account and Trust Bank Account.
The APX Recurring Payment schedules process APX payments based on the defined recurring period. The schedules are set up by your Firm Administrator and are available only after APX has been configured for your firm. See Setting up APX.
Multiple payment schedules can be created for a file.
