Re: [BPCS-L] Recurring A/R Billings?

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look at SPECIAL LINES in Customer Orders, and also in Customer Order 
Type.  This does not solve everything, just a start.

Regular lines, depending on order type, can have effects on some inventory 
type, sales totals on that item, shipping history.

But with special lines, you can charge for tooling, special setup, overtime 
charges, freight, and it goes into a different place in the General Ledger.

With Various Customer Order Types used for the Order that gets the special 
charges, you can send the info to update A/R and G/L, but not have anything 
to do with Inventory.

However, someone still has to enter the Transaction each month, and know 
when it ends.

Does this have to be through the Customer Account?
How does a company handle former employees staying on company insurance 
plans, in which there is monthly billing to those former employees?
