Can I link Companies House deadlines to a custom service, and set default deadlines in bulk?

No, Companies House deadlines can only be linked to Engager's built-in services, not services you've created yourself.

In Settings > Jobs > Services, a built-in service such as Limited Company Accounts shows its Period end: as "(hard-coded for this service)". On a custom service, you set Period end: in years, months and days before the statutory deadline, and Default frequency: as how often the deadline occurs.

Period end and Default frequency settings of a custom service, set in years, months and days rather than from Companies House

Set a deadline for a custom service in bulk

You can still set a default deadline for a custom service across many clients at once. Enable the service first, either in the client record (Step 5: Services & pricing) or in bulk with the Enabled / On hold / Disabled form field below. The edit is only made for clients where the service is enabled.

  1. Go to Clients and tick the clients you want to update.
  2. Select bulk actions > Edit client or service data.
  3. In Bulk editing, set Choose entity type: to Service, then choose your custom service in Service to edit:.
  4. Set Form field: to Due date (or Frequency), enter the value in Set new value:, then select Submit.
