cycle of what normally occurs with a customer account


Explanation:
This is one possibility: Your source text may mean what normally occurs with a customer account.

For example:
1. The customer opens a new account.
2. The customer purchases/pays for goods.
3. The vendor conducts customer service visits/surveys, etc. at certain periodic intervals
4. The customer has periodic quality audits, or other inspections

Etc.

It really depends on the industry, product, etc.

Kim Metzger's term "accounting cycle" may also be right, depending on the context. It is hard to say because no context is given.
