            Hi all,

            Remember way back when in March 2012 I kicked of a
            discussion about the limitations of handling
            subscription/rental services in Quotes, Sales Orders and
            Invoices?

            No?

            See here:
            http://lists.vtigercrm.com/__pipermail/vtigercrm-__developers/2012-March/021973.__html
            <http://lists.vtigercrm.com/pipermail/vtigercrm-developers/2012-March/021973.html>

            This has just come up again.

            A telecoms business sells various things:

            * Hardware like Phone systems, handsets, cabling etc.,
            * Installation type services (one off cost),
            * Recurring services like Line rental, Hire Purchase/Lease
            fees etc.

            These third items have to go on the Quote and be propagated
            through to the Sales Order and Invoice. But these types of
            items have a frequency (i.e monthly) and a term (i.e. 24
            months).

            There is still no way to handle this from what I can tell
            without major surgery.

            Can the devs suggest a way to extend vtiger (6.1) so this
            can be handled properly? I'm thinking some kind of extension
            module that extends the Services module (or build a new one)
            that becomes available as a line item in the Quote/SO/Inv
            and offers the user the ability to enter the frequency and
            term when they are building the quote.

            The really good bit is this information also needs to be
            accessible in the Reports. :-)

            New UIType perhaps?

            Suggestions welcome.

            Cheers

            Al
