Turn off Automatic Invoicing

[DeWebDude]

Is there a way to turn off automatic invoicing?

 

Thanks!

in what sense? when an order has just been made or renewal invoicing?

[DeWebDude]

When someone is already a hosting client, we don't want to generate an invoice for now from WHMCS for services ( technically billing it on another platform ).

If a client logs in, they can still lets say renew a domain name etc, but it won't be automatically be generated.

 

Thanks!

you could disable the appropriate email templates from sending - whilst that wouldn't prevent the invoice from being generated, it would prevent the client from receiving it... and you can later go in and cancel the invoice.

 

taking the order, but disabling the invoice from being created would likely require an action hook.

I'll check those 2 options, thank you!!

and of course disable invoice generation from the cron (if you run it) to prevent recurring invoicing.

^^ I was just going to say that

 

 

Add something like this

skip --CreateInvoices --AutoSuspensions  --AutoTerminations

 

to your cron job. This will skip invoices , terminations and suspensions . You'll just have to do them manually

Hello,

 

Looks like invoices are still being generated even though we are using the suggested cron:

*/5 * * * * php -q /home/xxxx/public_html/crons/cron.php skip --CreateInvoices

 

Did I do something wrong??

Hello All, as I mentioned above invoices are still being autogenerated, anything I can do to stop them??

Did you (or anyone else reading this) ever figure out how to do this? WHMCS continues to create renewal invoices, even with the "skip --CreateInvoices" parameters.

In my crontab:

*/5 *   * * *   php7.3 -q /home/www/myanuson/crons/cron.php skip --CreateInvoices

Sorry for the delay, I think we still have this issue, but have managed to ignore it, of course it would be better to stop it.
