Microsoft SaaS - CONNECT 16 Release Notes

Introduction

This document describes the new features and known limitations of Microsoft SaaS - CONNECT v16.

New Features

  • The connector will now ask transacting partners to specify if the customer is qualified as a state-owned entity during the ordering process, and will apply such qualification to customers when applicable. The state-owned qualification is supported for provisioning through API and UX1. Click here for additional information on Microsoft's State Owned Entity Criteria.

    Call to action: Initially, this feature will be available from May 20th, 2022. Please install the new product version on your platform before that date to ensure that the state-owned eligibility is captured within the orders. The solution provided only covers purchase process scenarios for new and existing customers.
