What are Deactivate Subscriptions in Grace Runs?
This process is responsible for the deactivation of subscriptions in grace period which are about to end. The process retrieves all subscriptions in grace period having grace period end date equal or past the date that the batch process is performed, and deactivates them.
Each deactivated subscription is set to life cycle state “Not Effective", by applying Deactivate Subscription actions, if:
- Grace End Date ends the day the process is executed
- Criteria defined in the run are met
Note: If the process is not executed on a daily basis then you should make use of the Grace Period end Date criterion. Using this criterion the system will retrieve subscriptions whose Grace period ended between the date the rule was executed and the calculated date set by the criterion.
