Price Book

"Price Book" feature helps MSP/Reseller where they can upload a rule book to their partners to customize billing rates across different billing groups. Pricing rules can vary widely being global, service-specific, billing entity-specific, or location-specific. Users can leverage these rules to apply discounts, markups, or fixed rates within each respective scope. This feature enables customers to adjust pricing accurately according to the specified rules, ensuring optimal cost management.

Steps to Upload Price Book

Log in to the partner tenant where all your created child tenants are displayed.

Click on the Price Book icon under the Actions column for the tenant where you want to apply the price book.
Upload your pricing rule book according to the example below. Ensure you replace the placeholders with your billing account ID, code, and any other required information based on your specific rules.
After successfully uploading the price book, wait for the next ingestion to be completed. Ingestions are scheduled every 12 hours.
