Thanks for providing more details of your concern, @rgraefe-msn-com.

Yes, QuickBooks Desktop also has an option to create a recurring transaction like QuickBooks Online. You can set up your Recurring Estimate twice a month but it's for a specific transaction that you've created. Let me show you how.

1. From the Edit menu, select Memorize Estimate.
2. Enter a Name. Then, select Add to my Reminders List.
3.  Click the drop-down arrow in the How often field and select Twice a month.
4. Enter the necessary dates of the transactions.
5. Tap OK.
6. Select Save & Close or Save & Next.

Once done, you can see your memorized transactions anytime. Just go to the List menu, then choose Memorized Transaction List.

 For more details, refer to this article: Create, edit, or delete memorized transactions.

 Also, you can look for a third-party app that can help you set up all the estimates and send them twice a month. Here's how:

1. In your QuickBooks Desktop, go to the Help menu.
2. Select App Center: Find More Business Solutions.
3. In the Apps for QuickBooks Desktop Marketplace window and enter a word in the search field.
4. Then, select the app from the list.
