Answers.Text: Thanks. The client doesn't want the membership report to show every different combination of membership though. It's a good default option though.

This allows you to keep a single membership and have different renewal periods at the same time.. and keep the reporting simplified, so the membership reporting will continue to show one membership.</p>

Title: flexible membership billing
ThreadText: # flexible membership billing
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-04-05)
  
  I have a series of different memberships in CiviCRM, currently with yearly billing for each. Each membership is currently set to auto renew.
  
  The client has requested that a client might pay for these memberships monthly, or quarterly or yearly. I've looked to change the membership to a monthly membership, and using pricesets, enable 3 and 12 months as number of terms.
  
  Unfortunately, as the membership is set to auto renew:
  "You can include auto-renew membership choices for only one price field in a price set. Another field in this set already contains one or more auto-renew membership options."
  
  The auto renew functionality has been turned on, as the memberships are set to continually renew but not use a payment processor. The records are being exported to another system, which generates the invoices.
  
  Do I need to create monthly, quarterly and yearly options for each membership? Is there a better way to create the one membership, but have flexible pricing options which keep renewing after every period.
