overide package price

[ctbhost]

i need packages that i can specify the price when i create a new order in the admin area, for example i need to charge a customer for some design work and the amount would vary for each job.

 

how do i specify the price during the order process IN THE ADMIN AREA, i hope that makes sence.

I've created a hidden area for custom quotes and jobs. Just make sure none of it is visible on the order form. Both "group" and "product" have tickboxes to prevent this.

 

So create a standard product for that type of work, then just duplicate it, change the pricing, then when you add an order, select from the custom group folder.

i did think of that but its a bit of a pain to create new products for each quoted item

 

it would be better if there was an option in the admin to change the price for that instance.

It would be better, but there isn't a feature currently. Typically it takes me 60s to do the whole thing, not as bad as you make out after you've done it a few times.

For custom services, why would you be placing an order? Wouldn't you just raise an invoice for it with the exact line items and costs you want for each?

thanks mat - i just worked that out

 

go to the client >> invoices and CREATE INVOICE

 

sorry was thinking modern bill complicated - not thinking WHMCS simplicity

one thing that would be good is to be able to cancell the invoice creation, when the create invoice is clicked it creates the invoice even if you dont enter any information.

 

it would be good if you could say woops i clicked the wrong button and back out without creating the invoice.

You can just delete the invoice
