Iceman Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have a question (not in the Manual). For Prorata Billing for a Product, what effect will this have... Prorata Billing - Ticked Prorata Date - 0 Charge Next Month - 0 compared to NOT ticking Prorata Billing In other words... What is the result of using the value of 0 as opposed to 1 ?

WHMCS CEO Matt Posted July 25, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted July 25, 2007 The difference... that would break it I expect! As there is no day zero in the month I'm not sure how that would be handled. Prorata Date needs to be between 1 and 28 to ensure the date exists in every month. Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Prorata Date needs to be between 1 and 28 to ensure the date exists in every month Really? It may be worth documenting that somewhere. I incorrectly asssumed that any number >27 would work for ALL months. Cheers, Paul 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Really? It may be worth documenting that somewhere.I incorrectly asssumed that any number >27 would work for ALL months. Cheers, Paul Isn't it obvious? February has 28 days on majority of years... I'd say most common config for this is prorate on 1st and charge next month after 15th or even the other way around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed my point. Based on this new information it is impossible to do billing on the LAST day of EACH month. That is definitely not obvious. At the latest, billing can only be done on the 28th of all months. Cheers, Paul 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted July 25, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted July 25, 2007 Correct. If you set it 30th or 31st, in a month where that date doesn't exist it would move the 1st or 2nd. I have to agree with Jay, that does seem pretty obvious that if the date doesn't exist it's going to move it to a date that does.

I thought you meant that it may SKIP the month if the date didnt exist. But from what you have stated it's not really a problem as it would simply delay it a little. So that's cool then. Bugs do occur from time to time with WHMC. I've learnt to assume nothing, and check everything. Paul 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with Jay, that does seem pretty obvious that if the date doesn't exist it's going to move it to a date that does. I raised this several months ago The "problem" with it just moving the date onto the 1st of the next month, is that the next-due date then remains on the 1st of the month for subsequent calculations. The "ideal" would be to have/accept -1 to mean end of the month, and a "fixed day" option where you can specify which date of the month to revert to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 hmmm....why not say use a -1 to make the Invoicing one day BEFORE the 1st of the month. -2 for two days before etc. That way a specific date won't be used but rather a relative date.

robbo Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just wondering if this is yet possible? I currently have it set to 30th. I'd much rather invoices be due at the end of every month instead of 3 days before. If it's not yet implemented any chance it can be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
