Overview

A subscription Purchase Activity is a FCORE_PAY__Purchase_Activity__c record with the Record Type FC_Subscription. It is linked to a Subscription_Plan__c, and it carries the start date, paid-through date, and renewal fields that drive a subscription’s lifecycle. fusionCore creates a subscription Purchase Activity automatically when you activate an Order that contains a subscription product. You do not create one by hand.

​
How to Create a Subscription Purchase Activity

​
Prerequisites

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

Open the Order

Open the Order that contains your subscription 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.
The Create Invoice button on an Order detail page
3

Confirm the Purchase Activity

fusionCore creates the subscription Purchase Activity and links it to the Subscription Plan. Open it from the Order or from the related Account or Contact.
The status of the Purchase Activity depends on the subscription’s start date. If the start date is in the future, the status is Pending. Otherwise, the status is Active.

​
Key Fields on a Subscription Purchase Activity

These are the fields you read most often on a subscription Purchase Activity.
End Date is the Paid-Through Date, not the day access stops. End_Date__c is the last day the current term is paid for. Access can continue past it during the grace period. The day access actually ends is tracked separately by Grace_Period_End_Date__c and Days_Until_Lapse__c. Do not treat End_Date__c as the lapse date.
Is_Subscription__c is a formula field that copies the product’s Is Subscription flag. You cannot edit it directly. If the product’s flag is not set, the record is not treated as a subscription and renewals will not run for it.
