Re: Mass Invoice Close

O.K. Here goes....

In most cases, the Master Account is created, invoiced and a payment is
posted thereby upon creation the expiration date rolls forward. The record
created on the SQL server is created with <Est Date> of today and <Exp Date>
is Est Date + Product Months credit or Days credit.

Within Optigold the Slave creation process is as follows: a) Slave is
created; b) A billing cycle item is created the prompt "This billing cycle
item will automatically be assigned to its master account. (With a link to
this slave account)." appears; c) Select Finished, prompt "Do you want to
invoice this account now?" selects 'Yes'. Then, prompt "Do you wish to
prorate this slave account's billing cycle to match the master account's
expiration date?" selects 'Yes'.

This leaves an open invoice on the Master Account and reduces the Master
Account credit balance. Now all we need is for the Slave expiration date to
roll forward on the SQL server.

Flash
