Hi,
You can probably create a seperate chain containing this variant alone, and schedule it to run on the first of every month.
This can be done by right clicking on the start variant, and selecting the option periodic, and giving the periodic value, where you have values "hourly","daily", "weekly", "monthly", otherperiod.  Another try can be to click on the arrow at the top beside "At Operation Mode" and d specify a factory calendar. I am not much sure of this option.
another option is that you can try using the procecc type "Decision Between Multiple Alternatives " and check if calendar day is first of the month then execute your variant, or else execute the other normal steps. You can get more info on this functionality from BI-ExpertOnline.
Hope this helps.
