For the last ten years or so we've run a "Membership Service" for our clients (using antiquated software).
For a certain cost per month, they get X percentage off every bill, priority service, a free home inspection once per year, and all the money they put into the membership can be used on any future service calls.
It honestly is a good program for everyone involved.
But here's the question:
Viewpoint has "Agreements" that expire and have an "Agreement Price" (total value of agreement). We don't need those things for a membership
So how would a person go about setting up a SUBSCRIPTION STYLE plan? IE, $$ per month (or per year), and be able to see the "credit" that has been paid by the client? AND to see that credit DEDUCTED from a bill for some WO in the future?
That's why I'm voting for something like "SM Memberships".
OR if Viewpoint could do a "Subscription Style" Agreement (and give us the ability to apply the fees paid to the next Bill), that would work quite well.
*Edit* - Could an admin move this into the "Service Management" category?

It looks like you (VP) were partially into implementing this with a NonExpiring checkbox in the Agreement setup, but abandoned it and hit the checkbox.
Any chance you could finish up the remaining bits to make the "NonExpiring" Agreements work?
So I've been messing around with the agreements and think I can make it work using the auto-renew feature.
Drawbacks:
I think it would be nicer to have a simple "Bill X amount per month from here on out", with no expiration date. :-
