When to use Remove Services - Regret

Regret Service is to be used when a service has been added and after some time the customer decides that he does not want to have the specific service. Depending on your company's business rules is up to you to decide whether you will allow the regretting of subscription services once they are activated and how they should be handled.

The specific action may also be used to regret a service swap that has been executed in the system. i.e. if a subscriber has recently changed his service from P1 to P2 and he would like to return to P1 then the Regret Service action may be used.

By default the system will allow regretting of the service whether the service is active or not. You can configure rules that will control when and if regret service action may be used. Differentiation on the rules can be enforced on the following 3 occasions via Billing Term Definitions

• Mandatory Services Regret (on Regret Service action)
• Optional Services Regret (on Regret Service action)
• Subscription Regret (on Regret Subscription action)

Regret Service is a child of Regret Subscription action. The difference between the 2 actions is that the Regret Subscription action will be automatically imposed to all the subscription's services, while Regret Service provides you with the option to apply the regret only to specific subscription services
