Our system can schedule in the future, auto-payments to credit cards on file. This is ideal for plans that just pays, say, $200/mo. However, they system does not run whatever outstanding balance is on a client's account. We have to manually enter the amount we want to run on their card, say, 10 days later. This occurs for plans that not only have a simple $200/mo plan, but also has other incidentals charged to their account: lost key replacement, printing, etc.
