Learn how to change the terms and conditions of a subscription 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, 2017-09-30.
   $TermStartDate	The new start date of the current term. For example, 2017-11-01.

2. Use the Create an order operation
   1. To create an order under an existing account without creating any contact information: To create the order under a new account instead of an existing account, specify the newAccount field instead of the existingAccountNumberfield:

      Request

      POST /v1/orders/

      Request Body

      { "orderDate": "$Today", "existingAccountNumber": "$AccountNum", "subscriptions": [ { "subscriptionNumber": "$SubscriptionNum", "orderActions": [ { "type": "TermsAndConditions", "triggerDates": [ { "name": "ContractEffective", "triggerDate": "$Today" }, { "name": "ServiceActivation", "triggerDate": "$Today" }, { "name": "CustomerAcceptance", "triggerDate": "$Today" } ], "termsAndConditions": { "lastTerm": { "startDate": "$TermStartDate", "period": 20, "periodType": "Month", "termType": "TERMED" }, "renewalTerms": [ { "period": 6, "periodType": "Month" } ], "renewalSetting": "RENEW_WITH_SPECIFIC_TERM", "autoRenew": true } } ] } ], "processingOptions": { "runBilling": false, "collectPayment": false } }

   2. To create an order under an existing account by creating the new contact information for this subscription:

      Request

      POST /v1/orders/

      Request Body
