Bulk Subscription Update

The bulk subscription update import allows users to edit high level subscription information such as labels and some timing elements. These elements are highlighted below. 

This works by submitting a CSV file of specific subscriptions and the details that you would like to edit. 

Target subscriptions need to be identified by supplying a unique Fusebill generated subscription Id (available from the Subscription reporting from within Fusebill). Not all of the subscriptions fields need to be submit in the file. Subscriptions can alternatively be identified by Subscription Name.  Those subscriptions identified by their name require unique names which is not enforced by Fusebill and would need to be enforced by a business process outside of Fusebill. 

Because this job operates as an edit, if you wish to delete existing values in a field, the special string "clear" can be used.  Any fields submitted with a blank value will be ignored by the bulk editor.

Fields that can be controlled in this import:

Subscription Name

Subscription Description

Subscription Reference

Scheduled Activation Date

Contract Start Date

Contract End Date

Expiry Periods

File Format

The Bulk Subscription update job requires the upload of a CSV file with up to 8 columns.

The file must have a header row containing at least one of the following fields
