Configuring the Vendor Contract ID for the New Reseller Resource Type

To ensure a proper configuration, it is necessary to configure the new Reseller Resource Type with the corresponding Connect Vendor Contract ID. Once you have obtained the vendor contract ID from the CloudBlue Connect Distributor Portal, complete the following steps:

Log in to CloudBlue Commerce and go to Billing > System > Settings > Attributes.
Create a new attribute, which will be used to store the Vendor Contract ID. To do this, click Add New Attribute.
Enter a descriptive name for the attribute in the Name field.
Enter the attribute ID with the following format: VENDOR_CONTRACT_<ServiceTemplateID>. As you can see, the ID of the corresponding Service Template must be appended to the end.
Select the Active checkbox to activate the new attribute and click Save.
