Record Creation automation

Question

So I have an expenses table in my app and I have recurring expenses each month that do not change...how can I automate the creation of these expense records every  month?

You will have to create what is called a 'cron job' on a server to help manage this 100% automatically.

Or
You can create a code page that will copy all expenses of a certain type anytime the button is pressed. You can put a button on the home page and click it once a month.

Or
You can create a button to copy that individual record with a click for each expense that needs to be repeated.

Each of these is different level of effort, but the more work early makes it easier down the line.
