Description
Someone had brought up the fact that when the cron does not run every day, and Blesta back-bills for service renewals, these service renewals still get added to a single invoice.
An invoice should be due when the service renews. This means we can only group services onto a single invoice if they all renew on the same day. In the case of back-billing old services, it's possible that all of the old services and all of the current renewals get added to a single invoice that is due today.
Consider that the cron did not run in a week and the following services need to be renewed for a single client:
Today: 2017-02-15
Invoice Days Before Renewal: 1
| Service Renew Date | Expected Invoice Due Date | Actual Invoice Due Date | Invoice Due Date if Cron Ran Every Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017-02-10 | 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-10 |
| 2017-02-13 | 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-13 |
| 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-15 |
| 2017-02-16 | 2017-02-16 | 2017-02-15 | 2017-02-16 |
The incorrect date is highlighted in bold.
Thus, in the case of back-billing service renewals, missed services can cause some services to be due today, or on the first service's renew date, rather than the renew date of the specified service.
