Hi

This sounds like a problem that a few people would have. The organisation I am working with sends out journals. This is based on an annual subscription, so if you start in June you get back-copies from the start of the subscription period (December).

What they do now is in MS Access:
- export current financial members who subscribe to journal (there are a couple).
- the export records those records that are exported - they would like to keep this feature.
- a second export is made of all those members who joined since the last journal export was made - they get the catch up journals.
- the third case is if someone phones up and says they are missing a journal. The journal is sent and this is recorded.

I would imagine that the civi way of doing things is - export a) all financial journal members and b) export of members joined since y c) create an activity for any special case journals. Because of the recording requirement another database table is needed. Therefore, am creating a custom extension.

Anybody else seen this?
