Transitioning SaaS Offers with Multi-Year Pricing from AppSource to Azure Marketplace
When a SaaS transactable offer on Microsoft AppSource includes a pricing plan for more than 1 year, the offer is delisted from AppSource and becomes available on Azure Marketplace. This is due to the platform's structure: AppSource primarily supports monthly or annual subscription models for SaaS offers. Any pricing model that exceeds 1 year (e.g., 2-year, 3-year plans) is outside the scope of AppSource’s transaction capabilities. When a SaaS solution introduces multi-year pricing, it is automatically transitioned to Azure Marketplace, which can accommodate longer-term contracts and subscription models (such as 2-year, 3-year, or longer terms). Azure Marketplace is designed for more complex transactions, including multi-year deals, and supports deeper infrastructure integration and contract management features compared to AppSource. Thus, any SaaS offer that requires multi-year pricing terms will shift from AppSource to Azure Marketplace, where such transactions can be handled effectively.Key considerations for integrating accounts payable automation with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance

As per documentation, one of the current requirements is: "At the organization level, generate at least USD100,000 of Azure Consumed Revenue or Marketplace Billed Sales (via the commercial marketplace), over the trailing 12-month period". Our solution naturally has low consumption rates; however, it plays a crucial role in helping end customers migrate and modernize their applications on Azure, thereby significantly driving ACR consumption for those customers. Question: Could our solution still be considered for IP Co-sell based on our customers' ACR increase?

Deployment on a CSP managed tenant
There is a public transactable offer that is listed. Based on customer requirements and pricing negotiations, we are deploying via private plans. However, when the customer account is managed by a CSP (rather than pay as you go), the transactions reflect in the name of the CSP and not the end customer leading to processes like Top Tier not recognizing it as an individual customer. Is there a best practice for the same?
