Deleting a Subscriber

This Help File Page was last Modified on 03/27/2017

Subscribers may cancel services for a variety of reasons, and when they do so, their Subscriber Information record should be deleted to ensure that their billing, service, and monitoring information is no longer available (under normal circumstances).

However, Subscriber Information records, once entered, are never actually removed from the MKMS database.

This is because, attached to that Subscriber record, may be billing, service, and monitoring information which must be preserved for historical reference, accounting related reports, and/or security purposes.
