Accounting in MOR is implemented to keep track of all payment activity. It is also possible to create various services, make subscriptions for them, and generate invoices for the clients.

= Services =  
 
A Service is a product that can be sold to the client. There are various types of services. For example:
 
* Monthly fee.
* Line rent.
* Phone rent.
* Internet plan.
 
You can create an unlimited number of Services. All of them can be found in '''SETTINGS – Accounting – Services''':

== Service types ==
 
* '''Periodic fee per month''' - user is charged every month for this service.
* '''One time fee''' - user is charged only once for this service.
* '''[[Flat-Rates]]''' - user is charged every month for this service and can dial some amount of minutes to some destinations.
 
 
 
= Subscriptions =
 
Users can subscribe for some services. When they do, they get a service Subscription. Services Subscriptions can be found for each user in the Users main window by clicking the icon [[Image:icon_subscriptions.png]] for the selected user:
 
[[Image:subscriptions_list.png]]
 
 
Subscriptions can have a Memo (if you sell a DID, for example, you can make a note of its number here).  Subscriptions also has the important fields '''Activation start''' and '''Activation end'''. This data interval will be billed in the invoice, but dates before and after this interval will not be billed.
 
You can add/edit/delete subscriptions for the user.
 
It is not recommended to delete subscriptions, or the user will not be billed for that subscription. If the user stops using a service, set the '''Activation end''' value to the date when he does so.
 
NOTE: A service is billed from Activation Start till Activation End, and from the start till the end of the invoice period. The time period that fits within both the previous periods is the actual period that will be billed.

In the next month, the user gets an invoice for calls made over that month + subscription prices in that month.
 
-$50 will be shown on the invoice, but will not be included in the new invoice.
