# Miscellaneous Purchase Activities

> Miscellaneous Purchase Activities record the sale of non-subscription products and let you assign benefits.

## 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**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Order">
    Open the Order that contains your miscellaneous product.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the Purchase Activity">
    fusionCore creates the miscellaneous Purchase Activity. Open it from the Order or from the related Account or Contact.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  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.
