What Are Status Messages and What Do They Mean?

Status messages are quick visual references for customers and billing management. They give insight into the current health of customers, subscriptions, invoices. They also suggest how the software will behave. The ones that you will encounter in the Fusebill administration interface are:

• Service Status (Customer)
• Accounting Status (Customer)
• Subscriptions
• Invoice Status
• Payment Status

• Draft - Customer is new, their subscriptions are not yet active, and invoicing will not take place on this customer until the customer is Activated.
• Active - Customer is a current customer.
• Cancelled - Customer and their subscriptions have been cancelled. The customer cannot be modified and will not be billed moving forward unless uncancelled.
• Suspended - Customer's services have been automatically paused. A customer's accounting status was in "Poor standing" for more than their grace period or any extensions. They will not be returned to Active until their Accounting Status returns to "Good Standing"
• Hold - Customer's services were manually paused. They will not be invoiced until manually unpaused. Collections and dunning on outstanding invoices will continue.
