Setting up memorized / reoccurring orders.
We have to create circa 300x sales orders (which we will be momerising every 4 weekly) - these are for contracted service jobs during the next 4 week period which we print in a batch. We need to print out a job sheet (modified sales order layout) for each and once printed, the job can be completed and batch invoices created... but we have hit a problem that we cannot create a draft invoice on date in the future.
If there is a work around, This way could keep the sales order module for WORK IN PROGRESS tidy and manageable.
When a job is completed at that 4 weekly job date we'd planned to simply open the draft invoice (create when the job sheet was printed earlier) amend it + add 3 custom field data and email the invoice / update ledger.
Our current work around is causing the sales order module to be quite busy with active jobs which have already been action-ed and jobs that still need to be actions in the same table... there is not real simply way to differentiate between whats been dealt with and what hasn't. as we dont have stock items or Completed / Full seem to have strange actions depending on what has been printed.
These are non stock parts orders, because we need pre-formatted job / task text and the service items do not work for us
Any thoughts or pointer as to a solution would be gratefully appreciated.
