You must first enable the annual billing cycle in your BSS:
- Navigate to BSS > Setup > Billing > Products > Unit Groups
- Open the Recurring Charge unit group
- Select the Annually unit and enable the options "Is Active" and "Enable for Ordering"

What happens if I don't enable this option? If you don't enable this option our system will always provision monthly subscriptions in partner center even if the subscription in BSS has been defined to billed annually. This is useful for partners who wish to continue to bill annual subscriptions to their customer but to be billed monthly from Microsoft for these subscriptions. |
