Excerpt

Microsoft Perpetual Licences are charged only once on purchase date. The pricing information comes automatically from Microsoft and contains both the cost price (i.e what Microsoft charges you as a CSP) and the retail prices that match the country of the end customer. This means that you have the flexibility to bill your reseller and your customer either by setting a margin above your cost or by defining a discount for Microsoft's retail price, exactly as you do for the Office 365 plans.

Configuring Perpetual Licence Pricing for Resellers

---

If you are an indirect CSP and you want to set discounts for the Perpetual Licences to your resellers, you must add the Perpetual Licence products to the resellers' price lists. The process is the following:

1. Locate your reseller price-list in Billing > Price Lists
   

2. Go to Products tabs and select Quick Add > Products. In the pop-up form, you should search for the Microsoft Perpetual Licence products. An easy way to do this is to use advanced search and search for the product with product type = Microsoft Perpetual Licences. Then, select all of them.

CSP Direct Partners can opt to sell to direct customers without price lists. For this reason, you must follow a simple procedure in order to price the Perpetual Licences according to the margin or discount you desire.

1. Add all Microsoft Perpetual Licences in a price list following the steps described in the previous paragraph.

2. Define your pricing rule as described above.

3. Go to each Perpetual Licence product and define this price list as the default pricelist.

Country Tenants & Tenant Resellers

---

Concerning the automatically retrieved and applied pricing for Perpetual License products, the tenant reseller organizations, as well as the country tenants, inherit the configuration of the automatic pricing of those products from their Parent organization. Therefore, the automatically applied prices to tenant organizations that are also based on the applied price lists (root price list & tenant price list) allow them to order Perpetual License products, for their end customers, as well as invoice them.Image Removed

type note
Even if an instance is not saved on the Parent organization, now that the new Active Currency selection field is introduced on the Microsoft instance, the products created on the tenant organization will be created with default value prices in the currency of the price list based on which the tenant was originally created. However, this case will not work only in case the tenant was originally created in a currency that is not supported by Microsoft at all, such as: VEF | AWG | CEUR | DRX | ZWL.

Backordering

Backordering is available for country tenants and tenant reseller organizations and the billing for the assets created in the root organization is based on the pricing rules we use for all Perpetual License products.
