What are Deactivate Subscriptions in Grace Definitions?
Deactivate Subscriptions in Grace Definitions, are used to define the rules to be followed, for the deactivation of Subscriptions in Grace Period which are about to end and they have unsettled debts. 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, if required.
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
AND - Criteria defined in the run are met
If the process is not executed on a daily basis then the Grace Period end Date criterion is used in order for theSystemtol retrieve Subscriptions whose Grace Period ended between the date the run was executed and the calculated date set by the criterion.
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.
