Overview

A miscellaneous Purchase Activity is a FCORE_PAY__Purchase_Activity__c record that records a non-subscription purchase. It acts as the record of sale for miscellaneous products and lets you assign benefits. Unlike a subscription Purchase Activity (Record Type FC_Subscription), a miscellaneous Purchase Activity has no Subscription Plan link and none of the start, end, or renewal fields. It does not renew.

How to Create a Miscellaneous Purchase Activity

Prerequisites

  • An Order that contains a miscellaneous product.
  • That product must have Purchase Activity Creation set to True.
1

Open the Order

Open the Order that contains your miscellaneous product.
2

Activate the Order

Activate the Order in one of two ways:
  • Take a payment (full or partial) on the Order, or
  • On the Order detail page, click Create Invoice.
3

Confirm the Purchase Activity

fusionCore creates the miscellaneous Purchase Activity. Open it from the Order or from the related Account or Contact.
A miscellaneous Purchase Activity does not have the fields used for renewals and subscriptions. Its Is_Subscription__c formula is false because the product is not a subscription product.

Limitations and Common Pitfalls

  • A miscellaneous Purchase Activity never renews. It has no Subscription_Plan__c link and no Start_Date__c, End_Date__c, or renewal fields.
  • Only products with Purchase Activity Creation set to True generate a Purchase Activity. If a product does not have this set, activating the Order does not create one.
  • The kind of Purchase Activity is driven by the product, not by an option you pick at activation. A subscription product creates a subscription Purchase Activity; any other product creates a miscellaneous one.
