Some Payment Plan Fixes

Everything is coming along very well. We just ran our first trip running the reservation system and everything went fine.

We are noticing some small issues with payment plans. If a payment plan makes the final payment due within 30 days, and we are within 30 days, the system should say that full payment is due within 10 days (the amount of time for deposits). Right now if someone books a trip within 30 days, the invoice shows that the deposit is due in 10 days and the final payment is due on a day that has already past.

We'd also like to be able to modify the due date on occasion. Could we have a "custom" payment plan where we can modify the numbers on that specific invoice? Sometimes we give people special plans if they are old clients. It would be nice if these dates could be put on the invoice. This feature would be nice, but isn't necessary.

1My first suggestion would be that for special customers, you create a different payment plan. Because right now, the site will allow you to select a different payment plan on an invoice to invoice basis. Actually creating custom payment plans on the fly would be a large change.

As for your other request, I will look into adding conditional clauses to payment plans (and making ones editable, something that shouldn't be disabled). Conditional clauses will allow you to specify a date range along with different payment terms specific to that date range.
