BUG Received payment for recurring invoice

    I just installed the plugin to test it’s features.

    I created a recurring invoice for web hosting $30.

    I then clicked Enter payment for a payment I was sent a few weeks ago. Basically manually entering in a payment by the client. I see this message “Note: Recurring bills cannot have administrative adjustments or additional charges, only received payments.”

    And the select menu has nothing displayed. I submit the form and it says Event Added: but doesn’t say a price, then it looks like jQuery or AJAX kicks in and the select menu shows Receive Payment. So I fill the form in again submit and it says Event Added: $30.00 paid in – 444.

    So now the payment shows as being received.

    That’s one bug (I think)

    Now on the reports page the amounts still show up as Uncollected.

    Advice?

    Hello,

    basically, recurring invoices should not be paid manually. Subscriptions initiate after first payment of such invoices. We have tried to disallow the ability to pay recurring invoices manually but it seems not completely.

    Thanks for pointing. We are going to fix this soon.

    Hi

    What about a scenario where I have a client pay me cash and I want to put them into the invoice plugin to start a recurring plan, is there no way for me to enter a manual payment for one of the recurring payments?

    That’s impossible for now.

    The scenario like that will cause a collisions. Imagine you have set subscription: 3 times by $10. Total $30. Then you add manually $10. Then it starts to receive money automatically (3 times with $10) $10 (yours) + 3*$10 = $40. $40 is not the amount of this invoice which is $30 in total.

    Other potential issues may appear in this case. That’s why we decided to disallow manual payments for ARB.

    Ok I thought with recurring payments the plugin would email the client an invoice requesting payment and not take it automatically.

    That’s another thing we were planning to work on named Internal Recurring Payments. It will not use any ARB APIs of any payment gateway but will work internally by sending reminders or something. But unfortunately I don’t have any ETA for this feature for now.
