Just put them down for renewal. A purchase order really isn't much
different
than a check, except its like an "I really owe you". :) The purchase
order
for Emerald was really designed for one time, not renewal.

If you have a customer with CC selected and *NOT* auto-bill, Emerald
will
bit their credit card the *FIRST* time, and send renewals. Why you ask?
Because you told Emerald *NOT* to automatically bill their credit card.

Emerald 2.2 is working towards this. In the new version you will
be able to specify how far in advance each customer should be
billed.
Emerald has TWO billing passes, renewal and Credit card. This allows
you
to bill those two types when you want to, just like you are asking.
Although
its not yet a single push button, it does what you are asking already.
