Summary
Account status types allow you to define what statuses an account can be in (Pre-Active, Active, Suspended, etc.). When creating account status types you can set the status type to be billable or non-billable as well as specifying if an account can be modified while it is in the status.
In this example an an Account Status Type of ‘PreActive’ will be created which is non-billable but can be modified (have packages added and other changes made to the accountwill be set as ‘Non-Billable' with the ‘Prevent Changes’ setting disabled. When set this status will not bill recurring charges on the account and will permit changes to be made to the account (e.g. packages can be added to the account, account and account-package settings can be modified).
For additional details on the fields presented on the account status types screen see the the Account Status Types Screen screen help article.
