I would think that in principle having two schedulers in one program is wasteful and less maintainable than having one. My natural inclination would be to "generalise" the existing scheduler if necessary. I'll see when I'll get down to it. >> - decisions already made on how it should (not) be done, or a rough >> outline of what has to be done > Unfortunately we have not gotten this far, yet. That's OK, I just wanted to get the information that is already there. If there is more to discover, it's more fun, I guess. > With the "copy invoice" you don't need any additional data storage. Well, I need to store the information "every 5th of the month, bill this customer that much, itemised like that". I'll see how this information is stored for scheduled transactions and go on from there. > Unfortunately you can't just make the SX engine call a "make > invoice" function > first, it would introduce a dependency loop in the code, ?
