• The ramp-up period is provided for the first consecutive billing cycles of a paid subscription since that is a period the distributor gives to their resellers to adjust.

• The ramp-up period can be applied only on new subscriptions and not on existing ones.

• You are not allowed to deactivate the Ramp-Up period for some billing cycles and then reactivate it again.

• Even if a contract subscription is upgraded or downgraded, the applicable ramp-up period remains that of the former subscription and is utilized on the upgraded/downgraded subscription.

• You can extend the ramp-up period for a specific subscription up to 120 months.

Display Extra fields for the Asset Records in Storefront

You can now include extra (custom) fields to the details page of an Asset entity (i.e., Reserved Instances, Software Subscriptions, Perpetual Licenses, and ESD licenses) in your Storefront.
Until this release, only specific custom fields per asset type were available in the Storefront, but now you have the flexibility to create your own custom fields and publish them to the Storefront or even publish custom fields that by design are not available to your customers. All these customer fields are now viewable from the new “Details” section added to the asset details page.

Microsoft Add-on ID is now Available in Invoices Reports

A field called “Addon External ID” is now available for the invoice items records in the reporting module. This field holds the Microsoft ID for the add-on that has been added to a subscription. You can use this field for reconciling the O365 add-on charges our system generates for your customers with the charges you receive from Microsoft.

Reserved Instances Order Items are no longer Editable

To purchase a Reserved Instance from the BSS portal, you need to use the ordering wizard available from the details page of an Azure plan subscription. This process creates a new order for the Reserved Instance you selected. We decided from this release not to allow editing a reserved instance order item because the correct way to change the ordering options for a reserved instance is to delete the created order and re-run the ordering process.
