This topic explains how to suspend subscriptions using the REST API by creating an order.

1. Determine the values of the following variables:

   Variable	Description
   $SubscriptionNum	The number of the subscription to update. For example, A-S00000001 .
   $AccountNum	The number of the account that will own the order. For example, A00000001 .
   $Today	Today's date. For example, 2019-01-01 .

2. Use the "Create order" operation to suspend a subscription:

   Request

   POST /v1/orders/

   Request Body

   { "orderDate": "$Today", "existingAccountNumber": "AccountNum", "subscriptions": [ { "subscriptionNumber": "$SubscriptionNum", "orderActions": [ { "type": "Suspend", "triggerDates": [ { "name": "ContractEffective", "triggerDate": "$Today" }, { "name": "ServiceActivation", "triggerDate": "$Today" }, { "name": "CustomerAcceptance", "triggerDate": "$Today" } ], "suspend": { "suspendPolicy": "FixedPeriodsFromToday", "suspendPeriods": 2, "suspendPeriodsType": "Month" } } ] } ], "processingOptions": { "runBilling": false, "collectPayment": false } }
