# Upcoming orders

### 1. Introduction

The **Upcoming Orders** section allows you to manage future billing and delivery cycles for a subscription contract. From here, you can take action on individual upcoming cycles to handle real-world scenarios such as early billing, temporary pauses, or delivery schedule changes.

You can place an order immediately to trigger a billing attempt, skip a cycle when a customer needs to pause temporarily, or reschedule a cycle to a different date and time. These actions help you stay flexible and respond quickly to customer requests while keeping subscription schedules accurate and up to date.

### 2. How to use

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### **Place order**

If you want to bill a cycle right now, (for example: ...) you can choose to "Place order" by clicking the icon "..." at the end of a cycle. Here you can see a "Place order" option.

The system will then create an automatical billing attempt.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Skip cycle

When you want to skip a cycle (for example: the customer is away on holiday for a month), please click on the "..." icon at the end of a cycle. Here you can see a "Skip cycle" option.

After that, please confirm if you really want to skip the cycle

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Reschedule cycle

If you want to reschedule a cycle (for example: shipping isn't available on that day), then please click the "Reschedule" option in contract.

<figure><img src="/files/QanY8OuuYtjGiFK5s955" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Then you can see a modal popping up allowing you to choose the date and time for the cycle you wish to reschedule.

> **Note:** rescheduling only automatically change the date and time of one single cycle only. If you wish to reschedule from a specific cycle onwards, please tick the box "Reschedule all upcoming orders?" and all subsequent orders will follow the new pattern too.

> {% endstepper %}
