When I get a request to build a site, I typically will manually create an account in WHM so that I can start building it. Once the client approves the site and I am ready to turn it over to them, I will then go into WHMCS and manually enter the order to start the billing. This seems like I am defeating the purpose of the system. For my latest client I did everything automatically but I do not know what date I should choose for their next due date as I do not know when I will be finished and ready to turn over.
Am I missing a "Start Billing" button somewhere? I need the account activated so it builds it out on the server, but do not want it to start billing until I finally enter a 1st bill due date and have it generate the monthly invoices from there. This is probably simple, but I am running on a few hours of sleep now. I think I make things difficult for myself sometimes. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
