[freeside-users] Invoicing events Please help

[Ryan Ghering]

OK, I have tried the -y switch I can't get any information on the -n via man
files.

Let me explain the issue now further in detail.

Customer A signs up on Sept 15th. They get billed right away for that months
service.
The Next month I need the system to Invoice the customer 10 days ahead of
the actual Bill date.
So say the Invoice needs to be generated and sent on the 5th of the month,
but it needs to read the same day it's generated.
However the Due date with Net 15 needs to be the 30th if they had signed up
on the 15th.

So with the command /usr/local/bin/freeside-daily -y 10 fs_daily run today
the invoice is generated 10 days out for all customers that are 0 to 10 days
from today. However
the invoice dates are incorrect, it shows instead of the "real" billing date
it now shows today +10 days out I.E Those that I ran today
Oct 31st now show an invoice date of the 10th of November and the Net 15
added on makes it the 25th as the due date.

When in reality the customer that is bill date of the 10th the invoice needs
to show todays date and the due date + net 15 needs to be today + 15.

That make sense?

How can I do this?

Thanks
Ryan
