Service's Next Due Date hasn't been updated after I have marked the invoice as paid

[smhnaji]

I know that if the user himself would pay the invoice, the service's Next Due Date would be updated, but he has payed the invoice not by the system and I have added the transaction and put the invoice id in the new transaction form, so the invoice has been marked as paid.

 

I wanted to know if anything is wrong with me, or if should I care about updating the Next Due Date when a manual transaction is added to user by me.

 

Isn't there anyway so that it automatically update the Next Due Date?

 

Thank you

Did you add the transaction by viewing the invoice and applying the payment there?

 

That will do all the same things as if the client pays.

I had two ways:

 

1. Going to the unpaid invoice and adding the payment for that invoice from the "Add Payment" tab.

2. Adding a new transaction by going to Billing menu and selecting Transaction List and after adding the transaction using Add Transaction tab. I should note that from the form, I filled the "Invoice ID(s)" field with the proper invoice id.

 

I used the second way. Doesn't the way automatically update Next Due Date?

 

Thank you

I don't think it does. Transactions that way are for your own accounting references. Adding the payment like in step one is the correct way to do it.

Thank you very much dear Damo.

 

At least I got the right way to insert manual clients' payments
