Couple of Simple Questions...

    I apologize for these questions, but we're just getting OptiGold setup and have some generalized confusion.

    1.) We need to print the invoices 14 days before the invoice is due. How do you go about doing this, and can it be automated?

    2.) The service period is for 1 month, but they'll have 1 month and 10 days to pay before there account is turned off. Is there a way to automate this?

    2.) When setting up e-mail accounts for accounts, do you have to put the e-mail server IP address for every account, or is there a place to setup mail servers and just select from those (if thats understandable)?

    I think thats all for now, but I'm sure they'll be more.
    Thanks in advance!

    1. You can define the thresholds under the Accounts Preferences. It can be automated with Automated Tasks.

    2. Also under Accounts Preferences

    3. No, it is not a required field.

    Under customer information in the billing info section where you put in the credit card information, exactly what is "taxable." What is it applying the tax to since the products themselves are marked taxable or not?

    And, if need be, how do I uncheck it as default?

    Thanks!

    The customer can be tax exempt (regardless if a product/service is taxable).

    Also, is there a setting to allow the username and password to be the same (even though its rediculous to have it that way)?

    You can set them to be the same after the fact (after the initial signup).

    I need fields in customer information for social security, drivers license, and possibly alternate contact.

    I have no need for Business Type, Region, or Salesperson on the right of the customer information screen, and was wondering if those fields were definable?

    I did notice there were some defineable fields in the general preferences area, but when changing them nothing happened.

    Thanks!

    Those 3 aren't definable, but the others on that screen are.

    I tried redefining reseller, operating system, group, and miscellaneous, but once I change them in the general prefs, they don't show up that way in the customer info screen.

    You sure you didn't change them for Contacts (not the same as Customers)?

    Scenario:

    We're setting up a master account with the domain name of @yourname.com. We'd like all the e-mails on slave accounts to automatically append that domain name at the end of the e-mails.

    Is this possible?

    She creates a master. Then she goes to create a slave for an e-mail account. At this point, I made it a preference, until we get the above figured out, that makes accounting append the domain at the end of the e-mail. It worked for a time or two, but it started giving me the error "Invalid e-mail address specified". But, when she tries to take off the domain, it gives her the same error, so she can't even get it back to what it was. Any idea what could be causing this?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    So you are unable to change an existing email address for the account basically?

    Master account is setup. We're trying to setup a slave. I have it were the username for the slave automatically creates an e-mail address. I need the domain after the e-mail address (because half of our customers use different domain names for their e-mail addresses). When I try to change the domain on the e-mail once the slave is setup, it says its invalid.

    A slave account should not have any emails though. The emails should go on the master account.

    Ok. Doing that now.

    But, even when adding an e-mail in the master account, we can't add the domain.

    There are settings you might want to check.. for example you can set it up to only allow emails from domains the customer owns (so unless they have blah.com listed as one of their domains it couldn't be used).

    Is there a place to set customer wide domains? eg. dial-up services have @provider.com and hosting clients get whatever their domain is?
    We do have multiple domains for provider though (provider1.com, provider2.com, provider3.com).

    Are we going to just have to remove the restrictions?
