Ranking

Ranking of Subscription and Subscription Services used for Billing, Deactivation and Ractivation processes

Billing, activation and deactivation processes rank subscription and subscription services to determine processing order.

Subscriptions inherit a ranking number from their subscription type, while services are ranked based on whether they are mandatory (higher ranking) or optional (lower ranking).  This is also defined in the subscription type.

Ranking is critical when services must be activated in an account or wallet with limited funds.

The system will prioritize subscriptions and consequently services with the highest ranking and activate those. 

In case of deactivation, the system prioritizes subscriptions of the lowest ranking and deactivates its services accordingly.

Additional reference to ranking takes place to decide the order. Refer to the table below for more information.

Sorting of SubscriptionsSubscriptions are sorted based on:
  • Ranking level, as defined in the subscription type, in ascending mode.  
  • Activation date, in ascending mode
  • Creation date, in ascending mode.
Sorting of Subscription Services

Services are sorted based on the following logic:

  • Mandatory services without prerequisites
  • Mandatory services with prerequisites
  • Optional services without prerequisites
  • Optional services with prerequisites.

Services within each category are then sorted based on the following logic:

  • By tier level, in ascending mode, as defined on the subscription type
  • By first activation date, in ascending mode
  • By creation date, in ascending mode.
