Maybe post your code so we can see how you do it. And try placing a recurring order from the frontend and compare the order table records for the order placed from the frontend and the one created using the API

We have not setup the scheduled task runner yet, could it be the reason maybe?

Found out the problem. The code example I linked to above is not complete.
You have to make sure that you save the "BaseOrderId" on the recurring order after both the recurring order and order is saved.

Like this:

// order is my order object with lots of more info, which is irrelevant for this example
var recurringOrder = new RecurringOrder();
recurringOrder.UserId = userId;
recurringOrder.Interval = interval;
recurringOrder.IntervalUnit = RecurringIntervalUnitType.Months;
recurringOrder.StartDate = DateTime.Now;
recurringOrder.EndDate = DateTime.Now.AddYears(10);
recurringOrder.Save();

order.IsRecurringOrderTemplate = true;
order.RecurringOrderId = recurringOrder.ID;
orderService.Save(order); // Use order service, not order.Save()

// This is the important part, the order.Id has to be written back to the recurring order 
recurringOrder.BaseOrderId = order.Id;
recurringOrder.Save();

Like this it is working :)

Good find! Thank you for sharing.
