Possible to create invoice manually before auto billing cyle?

Recommended Posts

I have a situation where a client has requested his six hosting invoices a week prior to his normal auto-billing cycle. Is there a way to create these invoices manually without it buggering up his auto-bill schedule?

 

If he was arriving at our office tomorrow, I guess I could adjust his billing date forward so these invoices are created automatically by the cron job, then I can adjust them back later. But he's arriving today. Can this be done manually without having to change the time of the cron or invoice dates?

 

Thanks,

Chris

When this occurs, I create a quote or invoice manually, based on what will automatically be billed

 

Once payment is received I then go these accounts and update the expiry dates, adding a note with the invoice number

 

If you let the accounts expire and mark as paid, the customer will then end up with two receipts

Therefore select the Set Cancelled option (this only sets the invoice to cancelled), add a note with the invoice number, and then reset the expiry date

 

I have two customers that like to pay for all their services annually, but the expiry dates are spread throughout the year

I use the above method, except that I start off with a quote, which they then accept which creates the invoice

I then go through each product and reset the expiry date

The Domain Name expiries continue as normal, the customers instructed to ignore these
