Invoice Availability
Invoice and reconciliation files will be delivered in the Partner Center
Files will be available for both viewing and download
Adjustments/Credits/Cancellations
Adjustments and credits are “in arrears” and will appear on the next monthly billing invoice after the credit or adjustment is applied
Credits for test accounts and integration testing are not authorized. Please see the notes for details about how you can avoid charges for testing
In order to avoid subscription charges for testing, it is necessary to cancel the subscription during the “free period”, this will result in no charges being applied to your account. Please see Subscription Billing – “The Free Period” for more details. Note, this billing rule does NOT apply to consumption usage charges for Azure services – all consumption charges are the Partner’s responsibility

5. Licensed-Based Billing
Up to One Free Month Incentives
The Partner is not billed for any charges during the initial period from a subscription start date to the Partner’s first bill date (up to one full month) for subscription based services
Billing Rules

Billing is in 12 monthly payments per annual subscription
The Partner is billed in advance for next billing period for subscription based services (based on seats at the end of prior billing period)
Partner is billed/credited in arrears for any seat changes (Pro-Rata calculation based on seat-days)
Pro-rata calculation uses the following formula: [ROUND((ROUND(Unit Price * Quantity / Number of days in pro-rated Month, 2) * Number of pro-rated days) / Quantity, 2) * Quantity]
Payments are billed for seats sold (not seats provisioned)
Adjustments
Credits
Cancelations
Early termination fees are currently not charged for cancellation of licensed based services
Cancellation credits for licensed based services are pro-rated for unused days for mid-cycle cancellations (as well as seat decreases per the formula above)

12. Invoices on Partner Center
This module will introduce you to the reconciliation files available on Partner Center and point out how to use them.

13. License-Based (Seat Subscription) Reconciliation File
The reconciliation file (recon file) provides a detailed “line-item” view of each billing event
These billing events can be tied back to the orders within the Partner Center using the “Syndication_Partner_Subscription_Number” from the recon file and the “Subscription ID” from the Partner Center
See Appendix for detailed descriptions of all columns provided in the Reconciliation File, the screenshot is not showing all available fields.

14. Usage-Based Reconciliation File
The reconciliation file (recon file) provides a monthly summary view of each billing event
These billing events can be tied back to the orders within the Partner Center using the “Reseller ID & Name & Reseller BillableAccount ID” from the recon file and the “Subscription ID” from the Partner Center
See Appendix for detailed descriptions of all columns provided in the Reconciliation File, the screenshot is not showing all available fields.

15. Subscription Billing (License Based) Common Scenarios
This module will show you common billing scenarios, how they are handled from a billing perspective.
New Subscription is purchase
Subscription remains unchanged for a billing period
New Subscription is purchased with seat adjustments during the free period
Seat increase / decrease for existing billed subscription
Cancelation – no set changes prior to cancelling
Cancelation – seat changes prior to cancelling

16. Subscription Start Date
Basic Billing Scenarios:
1) New subscription is purchased
The period between the start date of the subscription and the first billing date (for this subscription) is FREE, regardless of activity (ex: seat changes)
The recon file will still show this initial use to reflect the seat count at each point *
First Bill Cut
Subscription Start Date
Any Usage between the start date of the subscription and the first billing date (for this subscription) will be provided FREE OF CHARGE
First Advance charge billed for the subscription
* If a subscription is cancelled before its first billing cut, charges will not be applied to the account and won’t even be generated in the reconciliation file. This is particularly important if Partners want to perform testing but do not want to pay for subscription charges for testing.

17. Basic Billing Scenarios:
2) Subscription remains unchanged for a billing period
Operating Unit A, performs no actions on subscription 123 during the billing period between June 15th and July 14th.
Since there is no variation, the only charge reflected on the July 15th bill will be the advance charge for the following month
July 15th
(Billing Cut)
Advance Charge: For the Whole Month Period from June 15th to July 14th billed on June 15th (on previous invoice)
Advance Charge: For the Whole Month Period from July 15th to August 14th for 15 seats
Assuming the Charge per Subscription per month is 10 USD , charge would be 10 USD x 15 seats = 150 USD
The detailed table below describes the line items you would see in the reconciliation file for the above scenario:
Since there is no variation, the only charge reflected on the July 15th bill will be the advance charge for the following month

21. Basic Billing Scenarios:
5) Cancellation - no seat changes prior to cancelling
Operating Unit A cancels subscription 123 on August 25th:
Since the whole period has been billed in advance in the last billing statement, a “credit for unused days” is provided covering the period from August 25th to September 14th
The credit for unused days should be the only line item regarding subscription 123
The line item should also reflect the Subscription End date as August 25th 2012

22. Basic Billing Scenarios:
6) Cancellation - seat changes prior to cancelling
Assuming instead of Cancelling subscription 123 without making any seat changes Operating Unit A:
First, decreases seats on August 25th to 5 seats
Then, Cancels the subscription on September 1st
Follows same logic as a bill change the advance charge is reversed and the actual use is using the same proration formula. The last portion from September 1st to September 14th is still provided as a “credit for unused days”. So, the bill on September 15th will reflect four line items related to Subscription 123.
