Invoice : Show Description if Is Renew Or New Service/Registration

[Blesta Addons]

it would be nice and perfect if the line description in the invoice show if the invoice is for Renew or Registration/Activation (First Order).

we have a lot of resellers and a lot of them request this, because a lot of invoice and they should log to the system to see if is a new activation or is for a existing service (renew), they claim because other providers send them invoice that show that, i don't know if the other providers has WHMxx or other billing software . but i found the idea is very helpful in term of management .

[Blesta Addons]

after a check for blesta code, we have found that blesta use two language difinition description. for new created service

$lang['Invoices.!line_item.service_created_description'] = '%3$s%1$s - %2$s'; // %1$s is the name of the package, %2$s is the name of the service, %3$s is the addon identifier set only for addon services

that result in

Package Name - Service Label

for renewal service

$lang['Invoices.!line_item.service_renew_description'] = '%5$s%1$s - %2$s (%3$s - %4$s)'; // %1$s is the name of the package, %2$s is the name of the service, %3$s is the service's renew date, %4$s is the service's next renew date, %5$s is the addon identifier set only for addon services

the result

Package Name - Service Name (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)

but all invoices generated have a one format , is the renewal one .

i have missed something in this ? or is a bug ?

I think it would helpfull if the term (Activation/Renew) figure in the line description .

I don't think WHMCS adds anything in like this either but it could be helpful. Maybe a low priority task?

Package Name - Service Name (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)

This language is shown for any service (newly created, or renewing) that is of a term that is renewable (e.g. 1 month).

Package Name - Service Label

This language is shown for any one-time service that does not renew. All of the service line items start with that description, but are overwritten with the renewal one if they span over a date range.

What would you expect to see for indicating whether a line item is a new service or a renewing one?

[New] Package Name - Service Name (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)
[Renewal] Package Name - Service Name (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)

[New] Package Name - Service Name
[Renewal] Package Name - Service Name

[New] Package Name - Service Name
[Renewal] Package Name - Service Name

 

Perfect . This is my attention .

Do you think other line items apart of the service should indicate [New] or [Renewal] too? Like configurable options:

[New] Package Name - Service Name (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)
[New] ↳ Config Option - Value (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)

[Renewal] Package Name - Service Name (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)
[Renewal] ↳ Config Option - Value (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)

[Renewal] ↳ Config Option - Value (Apr 12, 2018 - Apr 12, 2019)

it would nice, but if not is not a problem as the child service or the config option they are part of the main service. so they will inherit the status.

I've created a task for us to look into this in the future, CORE-2736
