Aha.. I see now. Sorry, you declared it to be a services, and that got me on the wrong foot. But if you sell domain registrations, you may well/should look upon that as an actual sort of GOODS.
I mean: If you do not declare the domain sold to the customers with the internet authoraties, you are selling 'goods' you did not yet have (impossible form a bookkeeping point of view: you have to buy before selling). In my previous example I used chit chat and other non-physical assembly parts. That is a service and not material, hot air so to speak. If you sell something that has even remotely (be it a piece of paper, a serial number or anything)a form of existence in the real world, seeing it as goods is most simple. So you have to have a STOCK of domains, either one year, five years or whatever. You BUY those from a supplier, so you send an order, receive the goods (domains)in wharehouse, and pay for the goods delivered. The when you sell, you 'ship' them to your customer and they go out of stock again. For the renewal fees it depends if you in turn have to remember to renew in turn. Otherwise adding an assembly item _RENEWAL_ and putting a starting stock of a few 1000 would be sufficient. If you see and handle it as actual goods in stead of services, the wharehouse stock levels can even warn you that the item is out of stock, so you need to (re)order it. As a bonus, the assembly options also are available for goods I take it? I guess an option to create invoices a year later based on previous subscription levels would be a custom job. A printout or spreadsheet of monthly sales in a book 'to be re-invoiced 200x' would be simpler to create. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Eberhard Lisse Sent: zondag 16 juni 2002 11:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SL] assembly of services Doc, :-)-O Why are you answering (or rather not) questions that I didn't ask? Shouldn't it be obvious that entering 4 items is less fun than entering 1 item, if it has to be done a few hundred times? Why are you telling me that there is no stock? I wrote in my mail that there is no inventory, but is is an exercise in triviality to brute it. Maybe call it legacy but we need something liske this for domain registration purposes.
