## Subscription renewals

Subscription renewal happen every hour in fenerum. Once an hour we will check for all subscriptions that needs renewal.

Subscription will renew if:

- next renewal date has passed
  (this means that there might be slight delay between the _next renewal date_ and the time of the actual renewal)
- it is not waiting for grouping with other subscriptions

**Note: Please remember**

Subscription can also renew as a part of a subscription change with an _Early renewal_ option

During renewal following actions **could** happen:

- invoice could be generated and sent via configured method (see _Invoice generated_ option on a subscription)
- payment could be automatically collected if a payment gateway supports it
- scheduled changes could be applied
- new invoice [webhook](https://www.fenerum.com/en-DK/docs/api/webhook.md) could be sent

During renewal following actions **will** happen:

- next renewal date will update to the date of the next renewal

### Start date

This is the date at which subscription will start. Before the first renewal it will be equal to the _Next renewal date_.
If this is in the future this means the subscription is scheduled and will start after the start date.

### Next renewal date

This is the date after which the next renewal will happen.
If you started the subscription with yearly or monthly interval:

- on the first day of the month:
  - the _Next renewal date_ will always be calculated to the first day of the next month
  - for example 01.03 -> 01.04
- on the last day of the month:
  - the _Next renewal date_ will always be calculated to the last day of the next month
  - for example 31.03 -> 30.04
- in the middle of the month:
  - the _Next renewal date_ will always be calculated to that day of the next month
  - for example 15.03 -> 15.04

Renewal dates are calculated in organizations time zone.
This mean that we will always preserve date and time of renewal even when DST/STD time change is happening during renewal interval.

### End date

This is the date on which subscription ends. This will be empty unless you cancel the subscription.
