Creating Add-on Types

This section describes how to create add-on types for add-on offers.

You must create a separate add-on type for each add-on offer that you are going to provide.

Important: You must create only one add-on type of an add-on offer per application instance. Do not create several add-on types for the same add-on offer for the same application instance.

When creating license and add-on types for offers, take into account the parent-child relations of the offers: an add-on offer has parent offers, which, in turn, may have their own parent offers, and so on, up to top-level offers; a customer tenant can be subscribed to an add-on offer only if the customer tenant has subscriptions to all necessary ancestor offers of the add-on offer, starting from a parent offer and ending with a top-level offer. If you need to provide your customers with an add-on offer, you must create not only an add-on type for the add-on offer, but also license and add-on types for all necessary ancestor offers of the add-on offer.

To create an add-on type, perform the following actions:

  1. In the Provider Control Panel, go to Services > Applications and select the APS Instances tab.
  2. Select the required Office 365 application instance.
  3. Select the Addon Types tab.
  4. Click New Addon Type.

  5. Specify the following parameters:

    • Addon Name: The name of the add-on type. We recommend that you use offer names from your product offer catalog.
    • Offer ID: The offer identifier of the required offer. You must use offer GUIDs from your product offer catalog.
    • Provisioning ID: The provisioning identifier of the required offer. You must use provisioning identifiers from your offer catalog.

    • Can be assigned to users: This defines whether the add-on offer can be assigned to users (Yes or No). See your product offer catalog for details.

      Note: If you see "Priced per gigabyte" in the description of an offer, this means the offer cannot be assigned to users.

    • Description: The description of the add-on type.

    Using the Add to Parents and Remove from Parents buttons, specify the list of possible parent offers of the add-on offer. See your product offer catalog to obtain possible parent offers for add-on offers.

  6. Click Add.
