Microsoft Azure Plans
From this release we fully support ordering, provisioning and billing of Azure plans subscriptions. The Azure Plan is an accommodation structure for multiple Azure subscriptions(entitlements) to exist under it, for order and billing simplification reasons. For that purpose, the Azure Plan is defined in our BSS platform as a pay-per-use product with consumption based billing. For all Azure plan subscriptions the billing cycle will always be the calendar month and the invoices will be generated the first days (usually until the 8th) of each following month.

Check please Microsoft Azure Plan for understanding how Azure plans are supported from our platform.
Migrating your Existing Azure Plan Subscriptions in BSS
We have also implemented an Importer tool that will allow you to migrate all customers' Azure Plans subscriptions, that have already been created inside the Microsoft Partner Center, in your BSS. Using this tool you will be able to import both Azure plan subscriptions that were created from the transition of the legacy Azure subscriptions, but also subscriptions that were created for customers never used Azure in the past.
What's next?
The following functionality hasn't been completed yet and it will be delivered the next days:
- View of the Azure plan usage for the current month. The usage records will be available i subscription's view page (both in BSS and Storefront) as part for the next release
- Full support of Azure plans for Tenant Resellers:
- The import tool to be available for the Tenant resellers to import their Azure plan subscriptions.
- The cost of an Azure plan subscription to be the cost the tenant pays to the indirect CSP and not Microsoft's cost.
Upon delivery of the above functionality we will continue with supporting Azure reservation purchases for an Azure plan subscription and the ability to define budget alerts per Azure plan or per subscription (entitlement).
