Use this feature if a fortnightly customer pauses a subscription (to go on holiday, for example) and wants to offset their delivery cycle
Notes-
Crew are able to change the offset of a fortnightly delivery on a customer’s behalf
-
Customers are unable to do this themselves -this would take some fairly major UI changes to make this intuitive for them
-
To change the offset of a fortnightly delivery (i.e. if a customer pauses a fortnightly delivery and then wants their delivery to come the week directly after the pause) customers will need to contact the hub owner
- Determining whether the offset of a customer's next delivery will be 1 week later or week 1 earlier depends on timing of an event creation
- If the pause has been made in the future, and there are delivery events between the present and the date of the pause still to be added to the Delivery Event Overview, then the offset will bring the delivery a week earlier
- If the pause is create in a week directly after a week displayed in the Delivery Event Overview (Complete or Incomplete), then the offset will be a week later. In this scenario, if you wanted to bring the offset a week earlier (& therefore into a Delivery Event, you would have to add that order manually to the event that has already been created)
