Summary
Service transitions allow you to charge a fee when a service transitions from one status to another (e.g. pre-active to active). When configuring package frequencies you can setup transition charges based on the transitions you create, for instance applying installation fees, activation fees or re-activation fees as service statuses are changed.
In this example we are going to add a transition for the “Suspended” service status that was created in the Service Status Configuration Example. The transition we create will allow a transition charge to be applied when a “Suspended”, “Non-Billable” service transitions into an “Active”, “Billable” status.
If you want to look up additional details on the fields and options presented on the service transitions screen see the Service Transitions Screen screen help article.
