Excerpt

Microsoft Perpetual Licenses Qualifications & Automatic Pricing

From this release, we fully support all Perpetual Licenses qualifications and the pricing rules introduced by Microsoft:

  1. All Perpetual Licenses qualifications are fully supported: The Commercial, Education, Government Community Cloud, and Non-Profit qualifications are fully supported by our platform and a distinct set of products is created automatically for each qualification.

  2. Automatic Upload of Perpetual License Products Prices: The existing integration of Perpetual Licenses now supports the automatic retrieval and assignment of prices to Perpetual License products, without the need for manual price import.

  3. Prices are calculated automatically based on the end customer’s country and currency: Perpetual License product prices during the creation of an order are displayed with their maximum value but before the execution of the order, the correct prices are displayed for the selected end customer.

  4. Conversion Tool for Unsupported Microsoft Currencies: For currencies that are not officially supported by Microsoft we offer a user-friendly currency conversion tool in which foreign exchange rates can be created and stored so as to support those currencies while reselling Perpetual License products.

The new version of the Perpetual Licenses is also available to both country and tenant resellers.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The first thing that clients need to do after this release note, is to activate the currencies they want on their Perpetual Licenses products on the respective Microsoft instance (on the newly introduced Active Currencies selection field), then save the instance and finally run the Get Services Definition process. This is of utmost importance in order for the changes of the automatic pricing of Perpetual Licenses to be applied to the existing Microsoft instances.

What Happens to the (Older) Manually Imported Perpetual Licenses into BSS, after the release note 3.28.65 and onwards?

Since the automatic assignment of Qualifications and the automatic Pricing is available:

  • Non-Commercial: The (older) manually imported non-commercial Perpetual Licenses in BSS must be deactivated.
    After running the Get Services Definition action, depending on the defined countries of your BSS Microsoft instance, our system will automatically create every available non-commercial Perpetual License in BSS along with its cost and sell prices, for you to resell.

  • Commercial: The (older) automatically imported commercial Perpetual Licenses in BSS will be automatically updated by interworks with the latest changes in terms of their updated Qualification (segment) Code and the automatic Pricing functionality. After the update is completed by interworks, you will have to run the Get Services Definition action once more to receive the changes.

(info) Please check the Microsoft Perpetual Licenses page for more information.

Cancellation of an Adobe VIP MP Order

The improvements of this release note, allow Adobe distributors using the BSS platform and Adobe resellers using the Storefront to select and cancel a specific Adobe order. This improvement enhances the current functionality where a user is able to cancel a specific number of seats from a subscription without reviewing the number of seats that were purchased in each order. Concerning the refund, we automatically track the level that an order was charged with, and accordingly we provide the appropriate refund.

Receiving the Option “Cancel Adobe Order”

Please run the Get Services Definition in the Adobe Service Manager to receive the “Cancel Adobe Order” option in your Storefront.

(info) Please check the Canceling Adobe Subscriptions in BSS & Storefront page for more information.


Improvements on the “Account Statement” Page in Storefront

With this release, the Account Statement page in Storefront displays not just all the most recent transactions (in chronological order) by default, but it also displays more convenient data such as the opening balance as well as the debit and credit totals when the Transaction Type filter All Transaction Types is selected. The aforementioned metrics are updated based on the selected time period.

(info) Please check the Viewing the Account Statement in the Storefront page for more information.

Update End Customer’s Address and Continue the Checkout Process

When resellers checkout a product for one of their end customers in Storefront, whose billing address is missing or is incomplete, the reseller is now able to update/fill in the end customer’s billing address required fields (based on the applicable validations per field) and then save the changes in order to continue the checkout process.

Upcoming Fix-Notice for Monthly Installment Invoices with Wrong Cost Amount

We have been informed by some of our clients that there were certain invoice inconsistencies after the introduction of Billing Frequencies concerning the data of the unit cost price. For this reason, we have implemented a corrective script that will run on the upcoming release note, 3.28.66 to repair every existing invoice that was affected as well as fix this issue for any invoice that will be generated in the future.

Updates on APIs

 

Accounts API (V.3)

Improvement Description

This change concerns the column “IsAffiliatte” inside the endpoint /api/accounts which was previously returning null values but now it returns either the value true or the value false. Existing implementations will receive by default the value false to not affect them. However, the value true will be available when the retrieval of a specific account is requested and that account is an affiliate account.

Affected End-Point(s)

GET /api/accounts
