  Key Concepts: 
  Blocking status is a feature of SAP CEC-SAL-SB Subscription Management and Billing that allows users to control the access of customers to their services. It is used to prevent customers from accessing services that they have not paid for or are not authorized to use. Blocking status can be set to either “active” or “inactive”, depending on the customer’s subscription status. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the blocking status feature, users must first set up their subscription management and billing system in SAP CEC-SAL-SB. Once this is done, they can then set the blocking status for each customer. This can be done by selecting the customer in the system and then setting the blocking status to either “active” or “inactive”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that setting the blocking status to “inactive” does not necessarily mean that the customer will not be able to access the service. It simply means that they will not be able to access it until their subscription is renewed or they are granted access by an administrator.
