You can enter three types of subscriptions in QuickFill, single subscriptions, two-party subscriptions, and group subscriptions. You can also "mark" a subscription as being a complimentary or a gift subscription.
Single subscriptions
A single subscription is one in which the person receiving the subscription is also paying for it.
Two-party subscriptions
A two-party subscription is a limited version of a group subscription (see below) in which one person is receiving the subscription and a different person is paying for it. This type of subscription has just two customer addresses—a bill-to address and a ship-to address. Issues go only to the ship-to address. A single subscription may be made into a two-party subscription and a two-party subscription may be made into a single subscription by using the 'Add Bill-to' and 'Delete Bill-to' transactions respectively.
Group subscriptions
Any subscription that involves two or more customers receiving issues is a group subscription. You may send the bill to a separate address, or you may send it to the address of one of the customers receiving issues.
If the group subscription is unpaid, then a single combined bill for the entire group is sent to the customer designated as the "bill-to" customer. When the subscription comes up for renewal, QuickFill sends a single renewal notice to the billing address. At any stage of the renewal series you can choose to have QuickFill send separate renewal notices to each of the ship-tos in an attempt to renew them individually.
It is important to understand that a group has only a single subscription record. All members of the group will expire at the same time and actions that you take, such as cancellation, apply to the entire group at once. If you need individual members of the group to have different expirations, then you should enter separate subscriptions.
The 'Group change' transaction allows you to add or drop members from the group in midstream.
