Hi my recurring invoices just did not run - nothing changed

Welcome to the Community, @stefanie-smit.

You may be unable to set a schedule for the recurring transaction. That said, invoice transactions won't automatically run until using it. We call it Unscheduled recurring transactions in QuickBooks Online. 

Here's how to use it:

1. Go to Settings⚙.
2. Under Lists, select Recurring Transactions.
3. Click the Action column ▼, then select Use to use the template as a starting point for a new transaction.

I've added an article for more details about the types or recurring transaction like Reminder, Scheduled and Unscheduled: Create recurring transactions in QuickBooks Online.

In case you need help in setting up the recurring invoice date into an earlier date, you can visit this article: Schedule recurring transactions created with a template.

Please let me know if you have other concerns with QuickBooks. I'll get back to you in time. Stay safe and well!
