Differences in the payment schedules
When selling through the Azure Marketplace there are various payout schedules.
In the reports i see different types of 'Sales Channels'.
There is:
- Enterprise
- Go to Market
- Pay as you Go
But in the documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/marketplace-offers/payout-policy-details) there are other terms that are being used
- EA
- MCA
- CSP
Can anyone else to explain in detail when we can expect to get the money for each type of Sales Channel?
Thank you.

justinroyal FYI
I do not have exact dates (after a few years of trying to figure it out we kind of gave up and assume that it will take 5 months to get the money, but we have some still pending from March). But basically Enterprise means they are customers that have an Enterprise agreement with Microsoft meaning they already paid/have automatic payments, these are the fastest to pay out the money, in my experience it is 1-2 months, Pay as You Go is the customers that they put the credit card and pay that way (they are usually smaller Microsoft customers under 100K of Azure spend), those take longer to get paid out, in average it is 3-5 months I assume it is based on when their end of month is and when they pay their bill but this is just an assumption based on me looking at the dashboards.
