  Is there a way to do that?

  Thanks @JosefFinsel for sharing the feedback.
  
  In the current version of the server, you are correct that a Managed Schedule can be created to recur after Minutes, Hours, Days, and Weeks. You cannot configure one to run for a specific day of a month. Currently, customers have been using a 4 week recurrence value for their monthly reports.
  
  With that said, I would like to hear from other customers about the need for a Monthly recurrence level to help with prioritizing this feature with the product team. Please add your comments here if you would like us to add a Monthly recurrence in the Managed Schedules.
  
  We are tracking this internally as case 173863.

  Bhupesh,
  
  This feature, along with a few others that we've been trying to resolve over the past year, is a key deterrent for Cube Billing to release ARS into our production environment. As you know, Cube Billing is a SaaS internal/external invoicing and billing system. As such, each of our clients' clients are only invoiced on a monthly basis (never every 4 weeks). In the billing application, our clients have the option to set their recurring invoice on a set day each month (day 1-28, first day, last day). Thus, for scheduling and generating invoices, we need a monthly option.
  
  Thanks,
  Brent

  Hi Bhupesh,
  
  Is there any progess on this feature. Some of our clients would like the ability to specify reports either at the start/end of each calendar month.
  
  Many Thanks,

  Hello Kevin,
  
  We are sorry but there isn't any update on this issue yet. I have once again pinged the concerned team to get further information on this and will get back to you as soon I hear anything from them.

  Potential new customer and searching for scheduling options, was shocked to find that after 5 years there is no day of month scheduling in ActiveReport Server. That's unfortunately a deal killer for us.
  
  We must have flexible scheduling for day of month, custom calendars, 3rd monday of the month, 4th friday of the month etc.
