Hi,

 

upgraded to 3.1.1 and found new setting

 

"Continuous Invoice Generation"

 

I read explanation, but I don't understand exact what this setting is for...

 

can anyone explain what it is with some example?

 

thanks

It allows WHMCS to keep generating invoices for overdue clients at their regular interval, so for example where a client is under a 24 month contract for a dedicated server, whether they pay the bill or not, invoices still need to be created every month.

 

previously WHMCS stopped creating new invoicesfor services which the previous invoice remained unpaid.

 

Some people need it on (keep billing) some off (stop billing) so it became an option in the latest version

I have noticed it also causes an invoice to be created when someone is on paypal subscriptions and you change their billing method. If they are due for an invoice, it gets created

PPH, I did not understand what you mean..

 

so it resolved paypal subscription problem? when you checked this?

 

As I understand this feature, WHMCS generate invoices even there are past overdue invoices..

 

?

What happened is we have a customer that was overdue and their subscription had been canceled. They say they will pay and not cancel even though they are suspended. We changed the payment method from subscription to mail in and invoices were generated and the anniversary date showed up and another invoice generated for the next billing cycle.

 

Now the customer has invoices to pay for what they owe available when the get the money to pay
