Grace period tracking after contract expiration before deactivation

Outcome. An account whose contract end date has passed without a closed-won renewal enters a tracked grace period with a clear end date, instead of quietly staying active (or getting cut off) with no record of the decision.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it for accounts where product or service access is not cut off the instant a contract expires, and the business allows a defined grace window to finish the renewal conversation.
  • UseUse it as the natural follow-on to renewal-expansion-001: once a renewal deal exists but has not closed by the contract end date, this fiche tracks what happens next.
  • SkipDo not use it for accounts on strict prepaid or auto-cutoff models where access ends automatically at the contract date; there is no grace period to track.
  • SkipDo not use it as a substitute for renewal-expansion-018's Closed Lost automation; that one reacts to a confirmed non-renewal, this one reacts to an unresolved renewal that is running late.
