Delayed Switch plan Order

For Subscriptions with annual payments or monthly payments but with an obligation to use the ordered amount of Resources during the whole Subscription period, switching the Plan has the following specifics:

  • Switching the Plan is performed together with renewing a Subscription.
  • Switch plan Order is created as delayed (Delayed = Yes and Provisioning date = the Subscription expiration day).
  • After completing the Payment (for the Prepay model) or creating a Switch plan Order (for the Postpay model):
    1. The Switch plan Order gets the Waiting for provisioning status and remains in this status until the Subscription expiration date.
    2. For the Subscription, the Auto-renew option is switched Off. In case of deleting the Switch plan Order in the Waiting for provisioning status, the Auto-renew remains switched Off.
  • After completing the Payment (for the Prepay model), the amount of Charges is blocked on the Account balance.
  • For a Subscription with the activated Auto-renew option, a Renewal Order is not created if there is a Switch plan Order in the Waiting for provisioning status.
  • Provisioning of a Switch plan Order in the Waiting for provisioning status starts when the current date is equal to the Subscription expiration date. The corresponding message is displayed on the Order configuration page.
  • For some Services, after renewing a Subscription with switching its Plan, cancelling the Subscription within a limited period (see Deleting a Subscription) and delayed closing of all Charges can be available similar to purchasing a new Subscription.
