If you sell Products which need to be supplied repeatedly on a regular or irregular basis, the Subscriptions companion is for you. It is designed to automate the despatch and invoicing of such Products, and works in conjunction with the Word Processing volume to facilitate the mailing of renewal reminders.
When using this companion, the first stage is to set up the Products which you sell on a subscriptions basis. Such Products can be supplied over any open-ended or closed period and using any regular or irregular interval.
The next stage is to register Sales Orders for these Products in the usual fashion. You should then use the 'Issue Deliveries', 'Subscriptions Billing' and 'Renewal Mailing' functions to produce Delivery Notes, Invoices and renewal notices respectively. This functions will apply only to those Sales Orders requiring attention at the time they are run. If you have the Stock Control volume, stock levels will be amended in the usual fashion when items are delivered or invoiced.
