Business Central Post Deployment Offer
Hi all,  I would like to know in this new business central deployment offer: Does the partner need to get all the licenses subscribed by customer in the very first go or the ACR is calculated based on the subscription in 1st year? In other terms the incentives for ACR is eligible when all the licenses are subscripted at first place or is it the sum total in 1st Year?Which partner role to use making a business apps claim in Partner Center?
We have a government customer with an enterprise agreement. We've worked with them for a couple of years as their systems integrator deploying Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Power Apps and Power Pages. We're trying to make a customer claim in Partner Center. On the Incentives | Customer claims screen, I'm confused about the partner roles: Build intent - Advisor Partner activities Usage recognition - Non-Incentivized Influenced Revenue recognition - Non-Incentivized The guidance page on Learn doesn't make any sense to me. Can anyone explain it like I'm an 8th grader new to Microsoft partnership? All we want is revenue recognition, usage recognition, partner points, solution designtions, incentives, awards, margin, rebates, and a healthy and happy life. How can I figure out which role to choose to achieve these goals?Pre-Sales Funded Engagement - Business Apps - CRM Vision & Value - Eligibilty
Hi community we are studying the delivery guide for funded engagement CRM Vision & Value. We have some customer eligibility related questions, so I appreciate some clarification from Microsoft. Thanks! Ralf The provided TCO calculator and the Delivery Guide gives the impression that funding is ONLY available if our prospect migrates from Salesforce to D365 CRM. What if our prospect is ..... 1. ... using Excel sheets to manage support tickets - not eligible for funding? 2. ... using Monday.com, or hubspot to manage sales - not eligible for funding? 3. ... using a self-made application to manage campaigns - not eligible for funding?Ready for FY25?

Summary Partner engagement with Business Applications Partner Activities was at an all-time high in FY24, with a record number of workshops delivered to customers to ensure successful partner-led implementation and adoption of Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. Looking ahead to FY25, we’ll be building on this momentum with improvements to the partner and customer experience. Based on partner feedback, we are making the following changes: Extending access to partner engagements to the full fiscal year Aligning the engagement portfolio with solution plays Providing more consistent access to activities across markets FY25 updates Extension of partner engagements to full fiscal year FY24 engagements will close on June 30, and FY25 engagement nominations will open on July 1. This change eliminates any pre-commit period, providing uninterrupted access to claiming and executing workshops from the first day of the fiscal year to the last day of the fiscal year. Solution play-aligned engagements Starting July 1st, we will be transitioning our portfolio of funded engagements to align to our solution plays. New engagements to watch for July 1, include: Low Code Vision & Value: Build customer intent to innovate with AI in low-code environments. Provide guidance on how to develop a transformation vision, prioritize scenarios, define value, and accelerate adoption. ERP Vision & Value: Drive customer intent to modernize their on-premises ERP systems with Dynamics 365.

Develop stakeholder buy-in through prioritized scenarios and demonstrated solution value. *To view all available engagements in FY25, refer to the updated MCI Program Guide launching July 1. More consistent access across markets In FY25 we want to ensure customers in all geographies have access to the benefits offered by partner-led workshops. To achieve this, we’ll be implementing caps on the number of workshops eligible for credit per partner in any single country. These caps will be announced on July 1.

UPP Gateway & Partner Center
Looking to see if anyone has any information on UPP Gateway & Partner Center payments. We are having a situation with a partner being offboarded in partner center after the UPP payment file was uploaded. We either need to get them removed from the UPP file upload or figure out how to get them enrolled again.

Dear Community We have been using a D365 Finance instance since 2019 as IUR. As from my understanding, from the old silver/gold ERP competency. Since we bought the legacy benefits this summer, I assumed we‘ll get the D365 instance extended as well. But know I have to learn, that this is not included in the legacy benefits and our subscription will run out in one month. We‘d have to buy the subscriptions - really funny, we can not even use the software internally that we are selling/implementing at our customers? I know, we could get the Business Applications Designation - but for a partner with 20 employees, there is no chance to reach this (maybe for one year, but not a couple of years consecutively). Any ideas on this one? cheers Daniel
