What are Subscription Maintenance Utilities Definition?

The Subscription Maintenance Utilities Definition provide a set of utility batch processes that can be used to maintain Subscriptions.

  • Activate Settled Subscriptions
    Activates 'Not Effective' Normal Subscriptions of Accounts Receivable(s) that have not exceeded their Credit Limit and that had changes in their Balance within a specified time-frame.
  • Execute Scheduled Actions
    Executes all Scheduled Subscription Actions whose Scheduled Execution Date is equal to or before the current date.

Only one instance of the Subscription Maintenance Utilities Definition can exist in the System, so it is not possible to create a New Definition or Delete an existing one.

  • Navigate to Subscription Maintenance Utilities Definitions and modify (EDIT) the Definition as required.

  • Use CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Definition.

  • Use VIEW PROCESS RUNS available in the section of each process to view all the Runs executed for the specific Process

Check the Validations & Restrictions Table below for a list of available Actions when working with Subscription Maintenance Utilities, including each Action's related validations, restrictions, additional information and a description of its system process. View the Attributes Table for a comprehensive description of the 'Subscription Maintenance Utilities' fields.
