No, there are only 2 ways to generate invoices:
1. Manually, either by keying them in by hand, or using the Duplicate
button with one already open.
2. Importing a CSV.
If you have more than just a handful to repeat, I'd opt for the CSV
route. If the data is always the same, you could craft your spreadsheet
to grab an effective date and populate the sheet with it, then the rest
just stays the same. Export to CSV, then import to GnuCash. (you could
also script the date change to the CSV and skip a spreadsheet app entirely)
I'm not sure if this is already formally filed as an enhancement on
bugs.gnucash.org. Of course, I can't speak for when or if it will be
implemented.
As for payments, you can either set those up as an SX (Scheduled
Transaction) and then make them official upon review, or import, or just
do the payments manually. Which route you take would depend on your
workflow and your outside payment system. (if any) You'd then still have
to individually 'Assign as Payment' to link them to the proper
invoice(s). (no automated way to do that as far as I am aware)
Finally, it is usually best not to make direct transactions in either
AR/AP. You can, but the 'Business Features' (functions and reports) will
never be cognizant of them. Best practice would be to create 'Other
AR/AP' accounts as child accounts for any needed manual entries. Leave
the default accounts for use by the Business Features only.

Hello,
Is it possible to use the scheduled actions to generate invoices automatically?
I use GnuCash for a small school and had hoped to use the actions feature to
automatically generate monthly tuition statements for families.
I can automatically create accounts receivable entries, but they don't show up
as invoices.
