When service limitation/suspension takes place during a bank holiday or a weekend, some customers may request services to be turned back on and promise to pay after the holiday, e.g., due to the banking system delays or simply, the customers are on vacation. To avoid the manual postponing of service limitation/suspension for each customer, you can configure an automatic rescheduling of the service limitation/suspension date to weekdays instead of weekends and public holidays globally for all customers in the system.
Mary Smith hasn’t paid her invoices, so on Sunday her services will be suspended. Since it is set as a non-working day, the suspension is automatically rescheduled to Monday so that on Sunday, Mary can use the services. However, on Monday, her services will be suspended, but she can pay for her invoices.
