General question about invoicing

[berndkusen]

If I understand it right, services are allways invoiced in advance. If I set the due date to 1.6.2013 for monthly billing, invoice will be generated for the period from 1.6.2013 to 30.6.2103 on 1.6.2013. So the client will have to pay for the following month.

 

In my case clients use to pay after, what means they expect the invoice for the period from 1.6.2013 to 30.6.2103 on 1.7.2013.

 

How do I have to convigure WHMCS to do this?

You can't do that, the only thing you can do is generate the invoice on whatever date you choose upto the renewal date and then set a very long automation period. EG: suspension/late fees 45 days after due date.

 

Personally i would be looking at informing all clients of a change in the way you are going to bill, Inform them that they are going to be billed in advance and if you wish you can sweeten move with a free months hosting. Just take it from there and begin your pre-billing.

 

If you do not auto suspend/late fee/terminate setup then the client can pay at a time convenient to them and it wont make a difference. You can also set up to auto generate even when the previous invoice is unpaid, In this case you would have to do it otherwise invoices would not generate properly, if at all for any subsequent periods.

 

 

I do think your best line of action is to speak with your clients about pre billing.

 

If you go here http://requests.whmcs.com your account here on the forum should allow you to post a request for, Post dated billing options to be added to the system.
