Parrot
About this app
What is Parrot?
Parrot is a recurring invoicing app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It helps you automate and manage contracts that require regular invoicing, such as rent, subscriptions, memberships, or industry fees.
If you're tired of manually creating the recurring invoices every month, quarter, or year, Parrot keeps you on track, reduces manual work, and ensures that no revenue is missed.
What does Parrot do?
Parrot keeps track of your sales contracts and automatically generates recurring invoices based on the setup and schedule of each contract. You decide how often each contract line should be invoiced, and Parrot ensures it happens on time and with the right details.
Whether you’re invoicing a simple monthly subscription or a multi-line contract with different invoicing rules, Parrot automates the process so your team doesn’t have to.
Who is it for?
Parrot is ideal for:
- Rental companies invoicing tenants regularly
- Membership-based organizations needing predictable invoicing
- Subscription or SaaS businesses managing recurring revenue
- Any company that sends regular, repeat invoices and wants to reduce manual errors and admin time
Key Features & Benefits
Automate Recurring Invoicing
Manually creating the same invoices is time-consuming and error-prone. Parrot generates them automatically according to your rules – no more missed invoicing cycles or incorrect amounts.
Manage Multi-Line Contracts
Some contracts include several items, services, or fees, each needing different invoicing logic. Parrot lets you set rules per contract line to handle each correctly.
Advanced Scheduling Control
Not all charges are monthly – some are quarterly, yearly, or one-off. Parrot’s Advanced Mode gives you precise control over invoicing schedules for each line.
Collective Invoicing
Avoid sending multiple invoices to the same customer. Parrot can group several contracts onto one invoice, making payments easier for clients and reducing admin work for your team.
Connect to Business Central Data
Link items, G/L accounts, or resources directly to contract lines. Use deferral codes to spread revenue over periods and align with service delivery.
Price & Discount Integration
Parrot works with Business Central’s price lists and discount tools – including price and discount groups – making updates easy and accurate.
Better Revenue Forecasting
Register all recurring contracts in Parrot to get a complete overview of future income, improving financial planning.
Compatibility with Other Apps
Parrot works seamlessly with other apps and extensions in Business Central. For example:
- StoryPoint – combine fixed (contracted) and variable (time/expense-based)
- Eagle – track recurring revenue, price changes, and contract updates with KPIs

You can start using Parrot right away without any setup – as long as you can post a sales invoice in Business Central.
