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
