Can we have a "Placeholder" quantity for invoicing the number of weeks per month? (Some months have 4 weeks & others have 5.)
Can we have a "Placeholder" quantity for invoicing the number of weeks per month?
We automatically invoice customers monthly for services on every Wednesday.
We manually have to change the Quantity each invoice because some months have 4x weeks (Wednesdays) & others have 5x Wednesdays (weeks).
A "placeholder" option would be nice :)

Yes, it is possible to handle this kind of scenario by using a “placeholder” or dynamic quantity setup, which allows invoicing to automatically adjust based on the actual number of occurrences in a billing period, such as 4 or 5 Wednesdays in a month. Instead of manually updating the quantity each time, many invoicing systems support recurring billing rules, calendar-based calculations, or variable quantity fields that can automatically reflect the correct number of service weeks per month, helping reduce errors and save time. If your current system does not support this feature directly, a workaround may involve using a billing template or automation tool that calculates service frequency dynamically.
