+Currently, only packages with a single service with table `svc_acct'

+the `Order and cancel packages' link on the main `Customer View' screen.
+.
+Perhaps the `New Customer' UI could be changed like the new `Service Edit'

+Yes, this is what to do with the current system.
+.
+In the future, this is what the database would do internally, but

+I'm also thinking it might be necessary for accouting reasons to add a

Thought some of you might be interested in this:

<ftp://ftp.minivend.com/pub> has CyberCash compatibility modules for
Paymentnet <http://www.paymentnet.com> and Authorizenet
<http://www.authorizenet.com> which should allow you process transactions
using those services as well as CyberCash.
-
+.
The files are named CCLib.pm.paymentnet and CCLib.pm_authorizenet,
respectively, and are installed by renaming to CCLib.pm and moving to your
site_perl directory. Otherwise, follow the directions for Cybercash v2 in
this if you are using it.

Not yet; it needs to be proxied from Freeside to a customer web server in
a secure way using something not completely unlike the fs_passwd,
fs_passwdd, fs_passwd_server trio.

The total balance flows over correctly, but individual payments don't.
The code you're looking for is in FS::cust_pay::insert
-
+.
The question of what to do with overpayments that don't have another
invoice to flow into (yet.. or possibly not) is still an open one. The
legacy system Freeside replaced long ago had a separate place for this
Right now Freeside uses the `freq' field of a package definition as a
number of months. The specific section of code you're looking for is in
FS::cust_main::bill:
-
+.
#change this bit to use Date::Manip?
#$sdate=$cust_pkg->bill || time;
#$sdate=$cust_pkg->bill || $time;
$cust_pkg->setfield('bill',
timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year));
$cust_pkg_mod_flag = 1;
-
+.
..and when I went poking for this, looks like it tells us just what needs
to be done! Hehehe...
-
+.
Date::Manip can handle cool things like "+ 1 month" (actually the current
case of /^(\d+)$/ would have to be added as a special case of "+ $1
month") and "+ 30 days" (what you need) and even "+ 5 business days" !

You can use both, or just one method. The configuration files control
this. One of the things in the TODO is to take out the last few things
that aren't customizable wrt this and put them in config files.
svc_acct.pm svc_acct_sm.pm etc.
Add this to a FAQ, along with doing it for middle names:

For bonus points, I'd grep around for the various bits which use "$first
$last" or "$last, $first" and replace them with a method call in cust_main.pm,
, like search/cust_main.cgi
cancel a router lease the inventory should come back. hmm.)

That's what I set out to find, but didn't find anything on the web site.
I'm looking for something that will do the following:
-
+.
Single point of entry for users on a secure system:
Creates account on user (public) systems
update /etc/passwd/master.passwd file
Export of new user info to customizable report (for automated entry
into
accounting software, etc...)
-
+.
Automated billing:
Export credit card info for batch processing and have hooks built
in for other forms of electronic processing.
software
Email or laser print invoices
Sanity checks credit card numbers before processing (code available)
-
+.
Simple method for disabling an account.
Arbitrary Expiration Dates (on a given day, in x days)
Remove from radius.
Changing password to '*'
Virtual customers disabling dns, http server, log processing, etc..
-
+.
Billing for different account types:
Dialup monthly flat rate. Prorates for partial months.
Dialup monthly flat rate for x hours + hourly usage.
Disk space used over quota.
Tech support minimum + hourly charges
Other for misc stuff (modem, RAM, etc...)
-
+.
Per user definable RADIUS attributes (ties in with above)
Fixed IP
Simultaneous Use
IP filters (for dialup email only)
-
+.
Keep logs of modem usage generated daily from radius accounting logs stored
on multiple radius servers.
-
+.
Keep logs of disk usage generated from quota.
-
+.
Method of adding virtual domains to your system:
Automatically grabs an IP address from a preassigned pool.
Creates a domain.com database file from database fields
as long as all the info was stored in the database (username, domain name,
and ip pool) this could easily just be run as an external script that the
user tweaks to match his system.
-
+.
We use a great accounting software (M.Y.O.B) that does all the AP, AR,
Payroll, Tax stuff, and most everything else we could need. It's already
set up for the type of checks we have, etc, etc... I just need something to
