A Monthly Skip series generates a series that skips selected months. This situation commonly occurs when you want to match payments or withdrawals with seasonal cash flow patterns.
To generate a series with regularly skipped monthly payments
- Click the Home ribbon's Special Series menu button in the Detail group.
Tip: You could also press [F2] from the Amount field of a cash flow line.
- Select Monthly Skip from the drop-down menu. The cash flow line will expand to include the Special Series detail.
- Enter the monthly payment amount (if known) in the Regular payment amount field. If the monthly payment amount is unknown, type [U].
- Enter the amount to be made on skipped months in the Amount on "skipped" months. This amount is usually 0.
- Select the months to skip during the series. Click again on a month to de-select it.
After you finish editing the series detail, you can continue on to the Number field by pressing [Tab]. Be sure to include skipped months in this Number.
