When is AUTO_INVOICING_OFF tag set?

[Heikki Ikäheimonen]

Hello

When is AUTO_INVOICING_OFF tag set by default? 

we have noticed closed accounts have this tag but there also some accounts that are open having it. Is it set by default overdue system or from somewhere else and in what conditions?

br, Heikki

Hi Heikki,

This tag is added both by the system as well as can be added by users to the accounts as per their requirement. Basically it tells the system not to auto generate any invoice unless triggered manually by the user. So for example, lets say I create a backdated subscription starting 1st March, so under normal circumstances all the invoices will be generated by the system, but if the business requirement is not to trigger any invoice, then this tag can be added to the account. 

When the accounts are marked closed in Kill Bill, this tag is automatically added by the system. It should not be set by default by the overdue system unless specified in the overdue configuration.

Hi Karan,

I have noticed that subscriptions can now also be paused on creation. I had assumed that pausing a back dated subscription could be a better option and achieve the same effect of not generating the back dated invoices. Is this a correct assumption?

Hi and thank you for the reply, we are noticing that we have this tag for some users that are not closed.  We have relatively old KillBill version 0.20.10 in use.  Reason I suspected overdue system has something to do is that it was the only place I found that toggles this tag in OverdueStateApplicator.java but I do not understand if it is toggled in default behavior.  Is it feature of this old KB version? does accounts get this tag from any other way automatically?
Best Regards, Heikki

Hi Heikki,

Could you query the overdue configuration ( example endpoint : http://localhost:8080/1.0/kb/overdue ) and also the overdue state for any such account ( https://killbill.github.io/slate/account.html#retrieve-overdue-state-for-account ).

Hi,

here is the overdue configuration

{
    "initialReevaluationInterval": null,
    "overdueStates": [
        {
            "name": "Clear",
            "isClearState": true,
            "condition": null,
            "externalMessage": "",
            "isBlockChanges": false,
            "isDisableEntitlement": false,
            "subscriptionCancellationPolicy": "NONE",
            "autoReevaluationIntervalDays": null
        }
    ]
}

here is overdue state of one account that has AUTO_INVOICING_OFF but is not closed:

{
    "name": "__KILLBILL__CLEAR__OVERDUE_STATE__",
    "externalMessage": "",
    "daysBetweenPaymentRetries": [
        8,
        8,
        8
    ],
    "isDisableEntitlementAndChangesBlocked": false,
    "isBlockChanges": false,
    "isClearState": true,
    "reevaluationIntervalDays": null
}

Hi Heikki,

It does not appear that overdue config is setting it on hold. Could you please use the below example endpoint for an example account to export the data, this would have the blocking states and the account audit. 

http://localhost:8080/1.0/kb/export/ff75c9a5-0ebf-4e4e-9f65-8d9254b5a866
