Dear CCBill Client:
In an effort to improve the performance and redundancy of our transactional processing systems, we will soon institute a change in the numbering convention of our Subscription Identification (ID) Numbers. This change is important for you to note especially if your website(s) and/or system scripts are written to include our CCBill Subscription ID numbers.
In order to accommodate this update, please plan to make the appropriate changes to your systems by the scheduled implementation date of Thursday, September 7, 2006.
PLEASE NOTE: This change will not influence the historical subscription and reservations ID's prior to the above implementation date.
The following CCBill Client accessed systems will be affected by this change:
1) System5 Web Admin
2) Client Affiliate System
3) DataLink Subscription Management System
4) Subscription Notification Systems (Email, Background & Approval Posts)
5) Subscription Upgrade System
With this change, CCBill Subscription ID's will support the following new format:
0006100101000000001 - First 2 Digits are the Station ID
0006100101000000001 - Digits 3-4 are the last 2 digits of the current year
0006100101000000001 - Digits 5-7 are the Julian Date
0006100101000000001 - Digit 8 is the Day of the Week (1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, 3=Wednesday, 4=Thursday, 5=Friday, 6=Saturday, 7=Sunday)
0006100101000000001 - Digits 9-10 are the Payment Method (1=Credit, 2=Test, 3=User Management, 6=ACH,7=Telephone Billing)
0006100101000000001 - Digits 11- 19 are the Subscription ID unique to current station ID and Julian Date
