This way, the shipper could just check the Calendar to see what needs to be shipped by month, day, or week. -----Original Message----- From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On Behalf Of devaulw@onebox.com Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 12:34 PM To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Re: Prepaid monthly subscription order fulfillment question Ideally you'd want separate dbs for client=>subscriptions=>fills. Relationships as one to many, one to many. This is the best way to track the data IMHO. It would also allow you to skip fills for vacations and the like.

Sent: Wed, 10 Nov 2004 11:26:00 -0800 To: "WebDNA Talk" Subject: Prepaid monthly subscription order fulfillment question Hello, I have a client that sells three, six, and 1 year subscriptions. Their customers receive a monthly package until their subscription expires. For example, the customer buys a 6 month subscription which gets paid in full, including shipping. The new order gets sent to the fulfillment company to ship the first month. The question is, how should I set up the system to send the fulfillment email the other 5 months? Should I add an expiration date field, or a number_left field that reduces the subscription by one whenever a new shipment is sent? Any ideas?
