This article will guide you through freezing an agreement using the new agreement management process.
Please Note:
- Freeze notification on the client's account will not appear until the day the freeze starts, Freezes can happen immediately, or be scheduled to occur in the future.
- If the Freeze Options are not showing, you will want to make sure that the agreement has a future unpaid invoice tied to the agreement (not just a fee). Without that, the agreement won't be able to freeze and that is why the options will not appear.
