Summary
Service transitions define which statuses a service can transition to. 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 we that was created in the Service Status Configuration Example. The transition we create will allow the a transition charge to be applied when a “Suspended”, “Non-Billable” status to transition to service transitions into an “Active”, “Billable” status.
