Business Central MAU not being recognised AND Microsoft Support not really getting it

Microsoft support are currently "asking the product engineers what evidence I need to submit to prove that we have Business Central usage not being correctly accounted for"

 

What I have sent so far:

  • An active subscriptions export from the partner portal
    • I picked one subscription GUID for 7 Business Central licenses as an example
    • It shows them as active and also renewed
  • A "Cloud Product Performance - Business Applications" export from the partner portal
    • This shows the same subscription GUID
    • BUT the Business Central licenses are classified as Common Data Service workload and not Business Central
    • This report shows another subscription for identical licenses is classified as a Business Central workload

The problem:

  • The rate used for common data service is much lower than the rate used for Business Central [1000] when calculating the values for partner performance.
  • This impacts our ability to retain our solution partner designations

 

Questions:

  • Anybody else suffering from Business Central licenses attributed to the wrong workload?
  • Anybody got the faintest idea how to convince Microsoft support that the evidence has already been supplied if only they actually analysed it?
  • Is there some obscure reason why a Business Central Essentials license would not be attributable to a rate of 1000?
