Throw out what you know from other billing systems. {grin}
Accounts are not classified together as "Billing Types". They are
classfied as Account Types. Each customer has a totally indenpendant
billing cycle of everyone else. Each customer's billing cycle can be any
number of months and/or days.
You can have customers with a billing cycle of 5 months and 17 days for
all it cares.
Anyway... The customer's expiration date is the date they have paid for
service up through. That's also when their next billing cycle starts.
Now... a customer's accounts (invoicing, billing, past due notices, etc.)
are all based on their expiration date...
Does that make sense? :-)

Mmmmm... well, you start running a fine-line when there are things like
setup fees on invoices, etc. But that's the only thing I can think of...
