When to use Rest Subscription

Rest Subscription is used to place a Subscription 'In Resting';  the Subscription will be deactivated and will be excluded from Billing for a specific period of time. Subscriptions 'In Resting' can be reactivated either automatically when the Resting end date is reached or through the Subscription Action End Subscription Resting.

  • Unless explicitly defined as billable in the 'Active' Billing Term Definition, 'In Resting' is not a billable Life Cycle State in CRM.COM. Subscribers' Contract End Dates can be extended by the number of days they have been 'In Resting'. Additional business rules like defining the allowed frequency and total number of 'In Resting' days can also be set up. For more information refer to the Billing Term Definition manual.
  • The Batch Process Using Take Subscriptions out of Short Term Deactivation Run Definitions can be used to deactivate Subscriptions that no longer meet the activation criteria and should therefore not be re-activated once out of Resting.

The Action requires one of the following two 'End Resting' values to be defined which indicate the end of the Resting period:

  1. ON A SPECIFIC DATE: If selected, a date field appears for specifying the date and time using the appropriate links. The date must be greater than the current date. 
  2. AFTER A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF DAYS: If selected, a number field appears in order to specify the number of days. The value must be an integer greater than 0.
