There already is a check for $last_sent, if its empty it sets it to 0000-00-00 date. But yeah thats exactly it.

Topic: Recurring Invoices (3 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
HI there,
I was having some issues with recurring invoices not being due so I could post them, and figured out the problem. The date that FA is calculating that the recurring invoice is due is after the fact. An example so you understand what I am going on about:
Recurring invoice for $100, set for every month on the 18th. I create last months, and today is 19/10, my next invoice to send out is the 18/10, but its not marked as being due.... until the 18/11..
I invoice my clients in advanced. They pay upfront on a new account. And then every month after. FA seems to invoice after that month, which isn't good for service work and hosting..
So a modification, very simple to make it work the way I want, which is on the 19/10, an invoice for 18/10 is marked as due and you can click the invoice icon to create an invoice.. is as below..
/directory_to_FA_root/sales/create_recurrent_invoices.php
CHANGE Line 145:
$overdue = date1_greater_date2($today, $due_date) && date1_greater_date2($today, $begin) && date1_greater_date2($end, $today);
TO:
$overdue = date1_greater_date2($today, $last_sent) && date1_greater_date2($today, $begin) && date1_greater_date2($end, $today);
Could we have that as an option in the settings? Ie: Invoice in Advance = yes or no..??
Anyhow, thought I would put that up here in case someone wants the invoice in advance thing like I did.
Regards
Wayne
