Understand QCMM Subscription Statuses
QCMM subscription status is operational state, not just a label. It determines whether a membership is current, waiting, scheduled, cancelled, or historical and therefore whether normal Plan access should continue.
Status Reference
| Status | Meaning | Normal membership access |
|---|---|---|
| Active | The membership is in force. A dated membership must not already be past its End date. | Yes, while its term is current. |
| Cancelled - active until expiration | Renewal/cancellation has been recorded, but the existing paid term continues to its End date. | Yes, through the current expiration. |
| Pending Payment | A checkout-related membership is waiting for payment completion. | No normal active membership access. |
| Pending | A manual/future entitlement is not active yet. | No. |
| Scheduled | A successor or future membership is scheduled to activate under its lifecycle rules. | Not as the current membership until activated. |
| Cancelled | The membership was ended immediately. | No. |
| Expired | The membership term has ended and expiration processing applies. | No. |
How Member Area Groups the Records
The My Membership area treats Active and Cancelled - active until expiration as current only while their End date has not passed. Expired, immediately Cancelled, and Refunded records are historical. This prevents a previous membership from being mistaken for current access.
Administrator Safety Rules
Administrator editing rejects an Active status with a past End date and rejects “Cancelled - active until expiration” when there is no expiration date. When a subscription becomes Expired or Cancelled, QCMM reconciles the Plan’s Joomla groups while respecting access still granted by other active memberships.
Do not use a status change as a substitute for payment reconciliation or Meeting lifecycle management. Billing records and Meeting bookings have their own authoritative history.
