# Setting Up Transaction Schedules for Balances
You can set up a *Transaction Schedule* for a Balance on an Account. This allows you to generate Transactions of a specific type for a Balance at regular daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals over a specified time period.
This topic explains how to set up and manage Transaction Schedules for your Account Balances:
* [Creating Transaction Schedules for Balances](/guides/end-customer-accounts/creating-balances-for-accounts/setting-transaction-schedules-for-balances#creating-transaction-schedules-for-balances)
* [Reviewing Transaction Schedules for a Balance](/guides/end-customer-accounts/creating-balances-for-accounts/setting-transaction-schedules-for-balances#reviewing-transaction-schedules-for-a-balance)
**Note: Balance Transaction Schedules in Beta Release!** Please note that the Balance Transaction Schedules feature is currently available only in Beta release version. See [Feature Release Stages](/guides/getting-started/feature-release-stages) for Beta release definition.
## Creating Transaction Schedules for Balances
**To create a Transaction Schedule for a Balance:**
1. Select **Accounts**. The **Accounts** page opens.
2. Select the **Name** text of the Account with the Balance you want to set up a Transaction Schedule for. The **Account** details page opens with the **Overview** tab selected.
3. Select the **Balances** tab.
4. Select the **Name** text of the Balance. The **Balance details** page opens.
5. On the **Balance transactions** panel, select **Create transaction schedule**.
* Alternatively, scroll down the page and on the **Active and pending balance schedules** panel select **Create transaction schedule**.
The **Create** page opens.
6. Enter the **Balance transaction schedule details**:
* **Name**. *(Required)*
* **Code**. *(Required)*
* **Transaction type**. Use the drop-down to select the Transaction Type. *(Required)*
* **Amount**. The amount of each Transaction created for the Balance under the schedule. *(Required)*
* **Start date (inclusive)** and **End date (exclusive)**. Use the calendar pop-ups to set start and end dates/times to define a time period for the Transaction Schedule. *(Required)*
* **Frequency**. Specify the daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals for when Transactions are generated for the Balance throughout the defined time period. Default setting is every month. *(Required)*
In this example, a Transaction Schedule is set up for monthly Transactions of \$100 to be created for the Balance throughout the defined time period for the schedule:
* The first Transaction will be created March 1st 2026, and then one on the 1st of each month following with a final Transaction created on March 1st 2027, a total of 13. Note that since the end date defined for the Schedule of April 1st 2027 is *exclusive*, a Transaction *will not be created* on that date.
**Warning: You must create at least one Transaction Type for your Organization before you can create a Balance Transaction Schedule!** If you haven't, the **Transaction type** drop-down will not be available and you'll see a warning:
* Select the **create a new Transaction Type** hotlink text provided. This takes you directly to the **Create** page to create the Transaction Type you want to use for the Balance Transaction Schedule. See [Creating Transaction Types](/guides/organization-and-access-management/viewing-and-editing-organization/creating-transaction-types).
* When you create the new Transaction Type, you are taken directly back to the **Create** page and the Transaction Type is selected.
7. If the amount to be paid differs from the Transaction or the currency of payment differs from the currency defined for the Balance you can optionally use the **Balance transactions settings** panel to enter:
* **Currency**. The currency in which payment was made.
* **Amount**. The payment amount.
This allows you to record the fact that an end customer has been credited for a Balance amount using another currency/amount. For example, you might credit an end customer in the amount of 200 USD for a payment they've made in virtual currency credits of X amount.
8. If you want to check the transactions that will be created for the Balance under the Transaction Schedule configuration, expand the **Balance transaction schedule preview** card.
9. If required, add any **Custom fields** to the Transaction Schedule:
* Currently, you cannot create Custom Fields for Transaction Schedules at the Organization-level, and therefore you cannot reference the Custom Fields values you create for an individual Transaction Schedule in your calculations.
* For more on Custom Fields, see [Adding and Editing Custom Fields](/guides/organization-and-access-management/viewing-and-editing-organization/adding-and-editing-custom-fields). We strongly recommend reviewing [Working with Custom Fields](/guides/creating-and-managing-products/working-with-custom-fields) before you create and use Custom Fields.
10. Select **Create balance transaction schedule**. You are returned to the **Balance details** page where the new Transaction Schedule is listed on the **Active and pending balance schedules** panel under **Active and pending balance transaction schedules**:
11. If you want to edit the Transaction Schedule, select the **Edit** button:
12. Make your changes, and click **Update balance transaction schedule** and return to the **Active and pending balance schedules** panel.
13. If you want to remove a Transaction Schedule, select the **Delete** button:
A confirmation popup opens.
14. Select **Yes** to confirm the delete action.
