Prepaid Services & Timesheets

Hi OCA Contributors,

i was asked, if it is possible to manage prepaid service hours in the following way..

 

Prepaid service is sold on a montly basis. If the sold or more hours are used, then of course it is quite clear and simple.

If there are non-used hours, they should be transferred to a customer „hours“-account to reflect the non -used hours. As mentioned… After a period of 6 month, the non-used hours should be dropped from the „hours“-account.

 

Does somebody tackled this kind of issue already? I would start digging now. If someone was facing a similar issue, it would be great to push me into the right direction…

 

All the best

Nils


Mit freundlichen Grüßen

    Hi Daniel,

    i am not sure at the moment if this can be adressed like exected.

    At this point, for me it looks like the best apporach is to solve this by creating appropriate timesheet entries (positive and negative).

    I will attack this issue more in detail end of next week and hope to get a more precise idea of what will come up to do this.

     

    All the best

    Nils

    Can an upfront Advance Payment address this?

    Hi Nils,

    probably not, no. If your customer starts out with Enterprise Subscription than you might be tied into changing this. But this part underwent substantial changes in Enterprise throughout previous versions.

    Hi Frederik,

    thanks for your prompt reply…

    It is quite clear to me, that this is nothing for „hey, lets dattack this right now and it will work tomorrow“.

    I do have an idea of the complexity. But as time is a rare good at the moment… (due to another project ;P) I decided to ask you before approaching anything.

     

    So if this a common need for many users… a proper project seem to make sense…

    As the customer wants to use the enterprise subscription app…. I dont know if contract is the right place to start…

     

    But i´ll start diving into it.

     

    Schöne Grüße aus dem Norden ;P

    Hi Nils,

    afaik exactly such a function doesn't exist so far. I would be interested in something similar though as well / or lets say in expierence how to set that up with a minimal set of additional modules. 

    I think that is also a quite common requirement, though differs in detail from service company to service company. 

    Furthermore you need to consider what type of module to reflect the "recurrency" and the downstream invoice generation (in detail your requirement is more complex than you might think). 

    Ususally you proably would start out with something from https://github.com/OCA/contract to build this process.
