Deactivate Subscriptions in Grace Definitions, are used to define the rules to be followed, for the deactivation of subscriptions Subscriptions in grace period Grace Period which are about to end and they have unsettled debts.

Each deactivated subscription Subscription is set to life cycle state Life Cycle State “Not Effective", by applying Deactivate Subscription actions, if:
- Grace End Date ends the day the process is executed
AND - Criteria defined in the run are met

you should make use of the the Grace Period end Date criterion |
. Using this criterion the system will retrieve subscriptions whose Grace period is used in order for theSystemtol retrieve Subscriptions whose Grace Period ended between the date the |
rule run was executed and the calculated date set by the criterion. |
