When to use Extend Binding Period

Subscribers may choose to extend their current contract when it is about to expire. To do so, the Extend Binding Period Action should be used, which extends the contract by updating the Binding End date of the customer, for a period of time defined by the user.

View the Information Table below for information related to the Scheduling, Preview Rating and Classification of the Subscription Action.  Check the Validations & Restrictions Table  for a list of available Actions, including each Action's related validations, restrictions, additional information and a description of its system process.
View 'Using Subscription Action Modal' available in Managing Subscriptions for more information on executing the action.
