New featureFees/BillingDATE RANGE INVOICE UP TO - We have a control in the MDP “Invoice Up To”. Can this be added to the fees page on a case

Invoice Up To on the Print Options Popup for Invoice Cases defaults to today's date.

If there's a caseFees.monthlyFeenoteDay, use that day.

otherwise if there's a company.monthlyBillingDay, use that day.

otherwise if there's a soInvoicingOptions.monthlyBillingDay, use that day.

 

If a day has been set above, pick that day before the Invoice Up To entered [e.g.

     an Invoice Up To of 28/10/2024 and day of 1 means it invoices up to 28/10/2024;

     an Invoice Up To of 28/10/2024 and day of 31 means it invoices up to 30/09/2024 (uses the end of the month as 31/09 doesn't exist)]

otherwise (no day set) it uses the Invoice Up To entered
