We will not be the end users of any billing software. We're selling software that we're going to integrate with a small number of billing packages (probably two) to exhibit as reference systems for our customers. They will be free to choose to whatever billing s/w they like, but if they choose one of the ones we've investigated then some of the work will already have been done for them. I expect at least some may want to quote and bill in, say, either dollars or euros according to their customer's location or preference. > >A volume discount could be done during your import script by >assigning >it to different services depending on what the amount was, say >under >100 gets one service id and over 100 gets a different service id. OK, sounds like I got that one right. >Each rate you offer would usually be a different service at a >different price. You do end up with a huge number of services. >At >least that's how it's meant to be. As there seems to be no limit on the number of services that can be created, this shouldn't be a problem in itself, though the code to automatically create and update them as necessary would have to be written so that the operator does not have to manage them all individually. The alternative (which I think it would be better to avoid) would be to try to patch CitrusDB so that price was calculated by multiplying more than two numbers, e.g., instead of rate * hours, something like rate * hours * class multiplier * zone multiplier.
