What are Deactivate Unsettled Subscriptions Runs?

This process is used to retrieve unsettled subscriptions (i.e. subscriptions that have open/unsettled bills), in order to deactivate them. The process can only be applied on “Effective” subscriptions having at least one subscription service in state “Effective”.

Once completed all the subscription services of the subscriptions included are deactivated. Each deactivated subscription service is set to life cycle state “Not Effective” and each deactivated subscription is set to life cycle state “Not Effective", by applying Deactivate Subscription actions.

What are Deactivate Unsettled Subscriptions Definitions?

Deactivate Unsettled Subscriptions Definitions, are used to define the rules to be followed when executing Runs to deactivate Subscriptions. The decision on which Subscriptions should be deactivated is based on the criteria set on the Definitions, among which, you can find criteria related to the Accounts Receivable Balance and Outstanding Amount. 

Run Definitions, must be submitted once created and will be executed once or on a recurring basis, based on the defined scheduling settings. Once a Definition is executed, a Process Run is logged, and once the Run is completed, the log information will be available in the respective section.
The user has the option to delete the specific run as long as it is not yet executed (still in 'Draft' state).
For a Definition to be submitted it needs to have an 'Effective' Life Cycle State. The Life Cycle State can be changed between 'Effective' and 'Not Effective' using the dedicated action.

  • Navigate to Deactivate Unsettled Subscriptions Definitions and explore existing records via the Summary page
  • Click on the link (name or number) of the record of your interest to access the Data Entry page and see more detail, or submit the Definition. 

  • Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Definition, modify (EDIT), or DELETE an existing one.  

  • Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Definition.

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