Service Statuses are configured in Setup / Product Catalog / Service / Service Status

...

Service statuses are used to setup the service states you require, for instance, 'Pre-active', 'Active', 'Suspended' and so on. Services in different statuses can be configured to have different recurring charges, e.g. you can charge a standard monthly price for a service in an 'Active' status and a reduced price if the service transitions to another status (suspended/on hold or whatever you decide to name the status). Transition charges can also be applied when a service is switched to another status (e.g. charging an activation fee when a service transitions from 'Pre-Activate' to 'Activate'). The transition charges that are applicable when a service's status is changed are setup when configuring package frequencies on /wiki/spaces/V10/pages/588447960. The transitions events that charges can be associated with are configured under service transitions.

The information in this panel reflects the currently selected status. From here you can change status details (fields will display a red left border if a value is required and purple text if the field is read-only and cannot be modified).

...

  • Name: a unique name that describes the status, e.g. ActiveBillable, Suspended, Canceled

  • Prevent Changes: when this setting is enabled an account-service service’s settings will be uneditable read only when an account-service is in the status. The only setting that can be altered while an account-service is in an unchangeable status is the 'Status' setting on the account-service

  • Status: the base system status, detailed below:

    • Billable: permits recurring service charges to be applied when the account-service is in the status. The recurring charge for the particular service status is configured on the package frequencies screen. See the /wiki/spaces/V10/pages/588447960 screen help article for more information on how package frequencies are configured

    • Non-Billable: prevents recurring service charges from being applied while the account-service is in the status. All other charges will still apply, such as one-time charges and transition charges configured on the package frequency

    • Canceled: canceled is a non-billable base status that is setup by default on the 'Canceled' service status and cannot be configured on any user defined service status. Services Account-services in a canceled status cannot transition back to any other status. E.g. you cannot change a canceled status back to an active status, 'Canceled' is a permanent state
