The recurring order code looks ONLY at the ShoppingList and related entities, it does not look at the Order* ones. The service that creates orders based on a ShoppingList only does so if isActive=Y. So, to turn off the recurring orders just set isActive=N.

It is for managing subscriptions. I need to periodically bill using the ShoppingList services. I can have several subscriptions tied to an order. If they are too far in arrears the subscriptions need to be cancelled. I am planning on setting the thruDates of the subscription at a certain point, but I do not want to deactivate the "account" using that method because the authorization may go thru within a prescribed timeframe and I can turn the subscriptions back on. So I am looking for away to know if a subscription is I thought the way to deactivate an account would be to set the initial OrderHeader's associated ShoppingList.isActive to "N", but it is "N" to start. I guess I could just activate the ShoppingList as soon as it is created, but why should I have to do that? Why can't I just activate the createShoppingList, but "makeListFromOrder" does not allow me to set it.
