What are Take Subscription Out of Resting Definitions?

Take Subscription Out of Resting Definitions, are used to define the rules to be followed when a Subscription which is still in Resting, should be disconnected once coming out of Resting instead of activated based on the Activation Conditions set in the active Billing Term Definition

The process retrieves:

  • All subscriptions in Short Term Not Effective state 
  • Short term deactivation end date equal or past the date that the batch process is performed, 
  • Life cycle state period not ended by an end short term deactivation action
    • Any additional criteria defined in the batch process
    InfoNote that the process will need to

    Note

    The run must be executed before the

    Short Term Deactivation

    Resting End date has been reached, because, if a

    subscription

    Subscription with unsettled balance, comes out of

    short term deactivation

    resting and becomes

    effective

    Effective,before the process is executed, then it will only be disconnected once the

    actual

    deactivation run is executed.

    To

    avoid this

    handle cases weretheabove scenario happened, you have the option to define the number of

    days the system

    days (Resting end X days ago) the System should go back and retrieve

    subscriptions that their Short Term Deactivation had ended; however, the

    Subscription that their Resting had ended; (the System will find any Subscription between current date and the calculated date and will check for any Subscription that came out of Resting within those days) 

    Note: The disconnection will be applied at the date of execution and not the date that it came out

    of resting.
