subscription

[coconut]

can you explain how subscription customers are handled? is it like quickbooks' 'Memorized Invoice' where you create a template and based on a schedule it generates the same invoice, just a different date? what i am looking for is to generate a new invoice each month with the item description reflecting the current billing cycle (month name in my case). something like "Gym membership for _current_month" - not just using the same invoice every month with a different date

In that way, yes, the recurring invoices are like QuickBook's memorized invoices.

However, at billing time you can include a "special note" on all invoices created - that could be used to add per-cycle billing information on to invoices.

well that leaves me back at quickbooks, which i use now. i have all my memorized invoices that i enter the 1st of each month. before printing, i have to go back to each and every one to add the billing cycle info. is it possible for you to add a billing cycle field with a _current_month tag or something similar?

Absolutely possible, in fact I'm delaying 1.3.79 until I get that in there. Tomorrow, Friday at the latest.

Grab the beta and test it out! http://www.k-billing.com/kbilling_installer_beta.exe

On recurring invoices these macros get replaced when the pending invoice is generated :

_current_eng_short_month_

Nov, Oct, Dec, etc..

_current_eng_long_month_

November, October, December, etc..

_current_num_month_

01, 02, 03, etc..

_current_eng_short_day_

Mon, Tues, Wed, etc..

_current_eng_long_day_

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc..

_current_num_day_

1,2,3,4,5,6,7

_current_year_

2006, etc..

These macros work in the item title, item description or the notes.
