[Citrusdb-users] payment due date gets set to start of invoiced month

[n***@hush.com]

A persistent problem I can't figure out:

I set up a new "invoice monthly" test account,
set the "next billing date" to 2012.2.2,
the "from date" to 2012.1.1,
the "to date" to 2012.2.1,
and, to give them a couple of weeks to pay,
the "payment due date" to 2012.2.16.
The generated invoice for January shows these dates.
Fine.
But the next invoice, generated on March 2 for the
month of February, shows the "payment due" as
February 1, i.e., earlier than the previous month
and a month earlier than the invoice date.
When an invoice is generated at the start of April
for the month of March, the same thing happens,
i.e. the payment due is March 1.
What I expect to happen is that the payment due
date for the second invoice is a mongth later than
the first, i.e., March 16, and the third invoice
is due on April 16.

But I can't get it to behave correctly and I can't
see what I might be doing wrong.

Has anyone seen this before?

The next billing dates are all based on the from date. Also if today
was january 1st and you are creating a bill now you should set the
next billing date to today's date, eg for a january invoice use
2012-01-01 as your next billing date for that first invoices. After
the monthly invoices is created it inserts new next billing dates,
from dates, and payment due dates by adding a month to the from date
of the invoice it just created.

What would I need to do for daily billing? Is that possible in this code?

Billing the same customer every day would not be possible, it uses month
intervals. 1 month or multiple months.
