Subject: Quarterly Charges and hourly rates
>Hello,
>
>I was wondering if Emerald 2.5 will support charging hours on a Quarterly
>basis. What I mean for this is that if a client ops to pay quarterly for a
>metered package, instead of sending a statement each month for each month's
>use, we add the total of the 3 months together and then determine any
>additional charges.
>
>Example:
>Client A wants a 50 hour account charged quarterly.
>he uses 75 hours first month, 50 hours next month and 25 hours the 3rd month.
>Since the total of the quarter =< the total allowed per quarter (150 Hours)
>there are no additional charges.
>
>We have been charging our customers this way manually and would like to know
>if EMS 2.5 will have this in the final version. It would help us out alot
>since we would finally be able to invoice clients via E-Mail when they are on
>quarterly charges.
>
>Also when a client pays for an annual subscription, they also work under the
>quarterly charges for any additional hours used.
