Manually Set "date Created" For A Service

[hadzo]

I really need this option when adding a service to a client. I need to manually enter clients and services and must have the ability to provide dates of the services.

I think someone is doing admin tools they might be able to add it to their plugin for you.

+1 for this, we cant  modify the creation date manually, example for me i have clients on whmcs i would like to recreate them in blesta without import them but i need to set the service creation date manually

If you really want to edit them or need to edit them you can edit the database

Thanks, I started thinking I was the only one who needed this badly.....

This does not work as I expected...it really is a bad idea editing the DB by hand.

I would think if we displayed that field, it would only be shown when adding a service. Since we show the date the service was created to the user, it may make sense to allow thes field to be set. However, I don't see a scenario where it would be necessary to edit the creation date after the service was created.

Dates in the database are stored in UTC, so unless you set the date in UTC, you probably inserted the date in your local timezone, which would be incorrect.

well could be useful that the only thing i like from whm... lol why? because when i already created a service i can change the Registration Date in the case of whm... but...yeah i agree totally with your idea Tyson, of having the field of creation date before creating the service that makes even more sense so in my case i dont want to import clients from whm.. instead im recreating every client manually because i like that way, but when im adding service for each client i cant set the date whm.. have as registration date.

 

thank you

[alexistkd]

would be great to have that field editable by us in case we need to change service creation date before

+1 for this as well

 

While I don't see it as a must have feature, I can see it's usefulness

 

I actually have one example where I would like to be able to do it right now.  I have a vps client that I've had for quite some time and I have not added him into Blesta yet.  It would be nice to be able to set his creation date into the past when he actually became a customer when I add him.  Not important...just nice.

I think it would be very useful. I switched to Blesta from WHMCS recently because of a few reasons. However, I don't want to become overwhelmed, which is why I decided to transfer a select few clients/services manually and make sure everything is running smoothly before I move all our clients over. So, at least when first creating the service in Blesta, it would be real useful to change the creation date. Because otherwise, it can cause problems with the "Next Renewal Date" (renewal date can't be set to a date prior to the creation date).

• We need to be able to set the dates for a product / service.

Is this still not possible after 6 years? ?

It hasn't been very highly requested, but I've created a task here: CORE-3934

I think it's a very necessary feature, if you are coming from another billing manager and need to add the services manually, you should be able to enter when the service was first ordered/started.

[Blesta Addons]

with our plugin admin tools, you can edit the 4 dates , date added, date renew, date canceled, date last renew

with the plugin you have a lot of staff that you can do it from the plugin that is not possible with blesta

 

 

 

[Babah]

this is why i will not switch to blesta from another billing, changing dates are vital feature and it is very standard for billing software, and you made it as subscription?

this  plugin requiere the Basic (Bronze) subscription .

thanks, but no thanks!

[Shira]

I don't think we should have to pay extra for this basic and necessary functionality.

When you select to "Manage" required service there is "Change renew date" option under "Actions". This helped me.
