Direct CSP Azure Margin
Hi, we are a Direct CSP and since the NCE/Azure Plan came into the picture, we're having a hard time tracking down our margin on Azure Consumption. Can someone point me into the right direction? ...

Since your question is not related to the CSP program, it should not be posted here.
I will move your post to the NCE community since you're asking about NCE.

Hi @LicensingConcierge1, this is directly regarding the Direct CSP program and margins on Azure.
- Dimitri AyrapetovMar 19, 2024Brass ContributorI meant that previously there was a basic formula to calculate margin. With changes that have happened more recently, that basic formula went away and now it's tied back to incentives/credits/etc., and I can't get a clear picture.
In other words, if we sell an MSRP of $100k of Azure this month, how much margin are we getting on that?- Nick_BeacroftMar 22, 2024Iron Contributor
I would recommend understanding Partner Earned Credit (PEC) and how this applies against Azure subscriptions you provide as a Direct CSP partner to customers.
The billing reconciliation files have the details on a line by line basis if you wish to analyse it, including if PEC was applied to the Azure usage.
