). The clarification of statuses relation (customer, service and invoice):
If the customer has an unpaid
invoice (e.g. an invoice was created in Billing day
date) and the customer doesn't pay the invoice before the date of Billing due
, the customer status will be changed to Blocked
, but the service (e.g. Internet service) is still be active;
The invoice status in period from Billing day
to Billing due
date is unpaid
, from Billing due
to Deactivation period
and after Deactivation period
the invoice will be considered as overdue
;
If the customer with Blocked
status pays the overdue
invoice, the customer's status will be changed to Active
;
If the customer with Blocked
status doesn't pay the invoice before the date of Deactivation period
date, his status will be changed to Inactive (doesn't use service)
. And after he decided to pay the invoice, the status would become Active
;
If the customer has Inactive (doesn't use service)
status, his service (e.g. Internet service) will be disabled
(with Start date
= Billing day
date and End date
= Deactivation period
date) and the duplicate of the previous service will be created with Paused
status, its Start date
= the date of Deactivation period
.
And after customer decided to pay the overdue
invoice, the status of duplicate service would become Active
, its Start date
would be changed to invoice payment date.
Full name - full name of the customer;
Email - email address(es) of the customer, multiple emails separated by comma ",";
Billing email - email address of the customer only for the billing correspondence (the multiple ones are separated by comma ","). The current field has the next logic:
1) if the billing email field is empty - all emails are sending to email(-s) from main "Email" field;
2) if there is the email in the "Billing email" field - all billing notifications will be sent to this billing email and all other emails will be sent to email from main "Email" field. As a result, Splynx does not duplicate the billing notifications to email(-s) from the main "Email" field;
3) in case only the billing email was added, ("Email" field is empty), customer receives only the billing related letters, all others letters will not be sent by Splynx.
Phone Number - phone number(s) of the customer, multiple numbers separated by comma ",";
Partner - partner that the customer belongs to;
Location - location that the customer belongs to in the listed locations;
Street, ZIP Code, City - Physical address fields of the customer;
Geo data - physical coordinates of the customer address;
Date Added - when the customer was added to Splynx.
