A way to include line items for a client (charges) that accumulate and
are posted as one invoice at the end of the month.

Example:
on 3 Aug: billed Example Corp for a new VPN
on 7 Aug: billed Example Corp for modifications in their PBX
on 18 Aug: billed Example Corp for more modification in their PBX

At the end of the month (31 Aug), the secretary will print monthly
bills.  The first line is a monthly maintenance charge, then each of
the three above saved items is also posted on that bill.

I've been looking at how to do this for a PBX service I provide as
well, to allow LedgerSMB to get items from a "temporary" table.  This
table is where some CDR information  is written with billing
information (min x cents/min) on each call.  At EOM, one bill is
posted which incorporates all line items from the CDR plus a monthly
recurring fee.

This would also be useful for attorneys who charge by the hour and may
bill a client for several hours on various days, but only want to give
them one monthly statement.
