Subscription Forecast Management allows you to view forecasted revenue of subscription orders by date, campaign Id, and product Id, just make sure you select the 'order creation date from' within the advanced search filters to pull any older subscriptions.  By default, this page will only show subscriptions created within the past 30 - 60 days, so the 'order create date from' field is important to use to make sure you are including all subscriptions. On this page you can also find all of your future rebills.  In order to set your desired settings, just go to Payment Systems >Subscription Management.

The following provides an explanation of the fields to assist you with your subscription management settings:

Subscription Billing Settings:

Enable Subscription Billing: Select whether or not to enable subscription billing globally across your system. If you select “no”, then subscription billing will be paused globally across your system.

Enable Global Subscription Limit: Select whether or not to set a global subscription rebill limit. If you select “yes”, then an additional field will populate for you to enter a dollar amount. After a dollar amount is set, then rebills from all of your campaigns globally will process each day up to the limit that you have set.

If you desire to set a rebill subscription limit per campaign, then please visit the link below, and review the heading called Enable Daily Subscription limit. The global subscription limit must be disabled if you choose to set a rebill subscription limit per campaign.

Limit Subscriptions by Campaign:

Limit Subscriptions by Campaign: If you select “yes”, then you will be able to select those campaigns which recurring billing will run on. The recurring billing will be paused on the campaigns that are not selected.
