What MAJA does for you

  • The profile is saved as active and listed on Recurring Expenses with its schedule and amount.
  • Saving the profile posts nothing to the ledger.

Good to know

  • A profile name, an amount above zero and a vendor are required: recurring expenses spawn real payments, and no payment leaves MAJA without a counterparty.
  • Use the pause and play buttons on the profile's row to pause or resume it.
