Firstly you could create a function that uses these to models and renders a html or csv format invoice. Then you could mail this to yourself. Once the function is created then you could create a scheduled cron job using celery or a even simple way would be to use crontab linux command with monthly interval.
Hi. I'm new to django and i'm creating a buisness application for my company. i want to generate a monthly invoice for every member in my company and for this i have two models in which all the information is stored. Is there a way to generate an automatic invoice based on the information in these two models? kindly help me. thanks .

If you can code the logic necessary to extract the information needed on a regular basis, then you can absolutely automate the task. Simple, recurring cases can be handled by cron on *nix, and task scheduler on Windows. The scripts are generally written as custom Django-admin commands, since you usually need access to the ORM and your models for most tasks:

More complicated tasks may require extra infrastructure like Celery. It provides more flexibility, but is also more complicated to setup and manage:

Start with cron, and work your way up to Celery.
