Overview

Service transitions allow you to charge a fee when a service transitions changes from one status to another (e.g. prePre-active Active to activeActive). When configuring package frequencies 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 changedadd service transitions and specify a transition charge for any recurring charged service configured on the package (e.g. apply a $50 reactivation fee when ‘Service X’ is changed from ‘Suspended’ status to ‘Active’ status).

Transition charges can only be configured on recurring charged services, fees or other one-time charges on price frequencies cannot be configured with transition charges.

Edit Service Transition Panel

The information in this panel reflects the currently selected service transition. From here you can change transition 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 modifiednote: fields with a magenta left border are required).

Service Transition Fields and Options:

• Name: this is a name that describes the transition you are configuring and should reflect your internal terminology, e.g. 'Activation', 'Reactivation', 'Suspension', etc.

• From Status: this indicates the status the service is changing from, e. E.g. you can set this field to a 'Suspended' service status and the 'To Status' field to a an 'Active' service status to create a 'Un-suspend' or 'Reactivate' transition. The statuses shown in the 'From Status' list are populated with the Service Statuses you have defined, the default system statuses and the service statuses you have configured. The explanation of what statuses mean in the system can be found in under the service status help screen help article. The From Status field by default will include a status called [New], meaning 'Newly Created' (essentially [New] is 'from nothing'). New can only be set in the 'From Status' field, once a status is changed from 'New' to another status, the service status can never be switched back to New again

• To Status: this value works in conjunction with the 'From Status' field to define a transition. E.g. a From Status value of 'Active' with a To Status value of 'Canceled' would setup one type of 'Cancelation' transition. See the From Status description above for more information

References tab

This section indicates displays where the selected service transition is used in the system. By default, the reference data is displayed in a summary format to indicate where the service transition is in use. When references exist a 'Filter References' field will be shown which allows you to filter down to the references that you wish to see., however the Entity drop down field can be used to view the exact system objects that the service transition is configured on.
