Random thoughts on energy and usages:
- Common engines have 1 basic engine
- What if you had multiple tiny engines that fed a master engine with conditional logic. Say an event (time or distance) triggers a computer function, the function runs, whatever the results are the computer takes energy from one of the little sub engines and keeps going. Basically an event triggers an action. The action is checked and responds correctly with the efficient choice.
- Mini engines could be things like common fuel, battery, wind, solar, perpetual motion, human power, gravity, water, air, chemical, etc.
- Basically, get as many power options working at once with conditional logic and that would give you great versatility. You wouldn’t be just relying on one choice.
- The master computer could also keep track of what was out of service and what would be most efficient.
- Use radio waves, cell phone waves, physics, atmosphere, satellite, any other known or unknown source. Looking for energy options.
- Static electricity, plasma, micro fusion, nuclear, raw food

AU 2407 Brainstorming - Reoccurring Invoices 8/28/2008   Reoccurring Invoices:
- Need inter corp options
- Master/slave relationship
- All payments are $0 and “on account”
- Different rate of occurrences – daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, annually
- Be able to turn on/off master (active or inactive status)
- What about taxes that get out of date? Maybe calc taxes on reoccurring and prompt if different.

Steps:
1. Create a normal invoice in the system. Once invoice is fully created, show an admin [master settings] link. Must have admin invoice permission to change master settings.
2. Once inside the master settings:
- Choose reoccurrence rate: daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, annually
- Choose date in the future for first reoccurrence (default to 1st of following month)
- Assign user
- Assign salesperson
- Assign other salesperson (optional)
- Assign invoice date – default to actual date (allow up to +/- 10 days) ?-maybe
- Set up special printable notes with dynamic note options
- Set the status to active or inactive
- Have a special homepage just for reoccurring invoices
- On the add process, make it two steps. 1. Enter an invoice number and submit. This pulls back basic info. 2. Fill out rest of form and submit.
- On edits, don’t allow changes of the invoice number
- On main page have options to search for all reoccurring but only show active invoices
- Allow for customer search from reoccurring homepage – sort reoccurring records
