Configuring a Granular Discount Rule with a Service Condition

To create a granular discount rule for resellers or customers using a Service condition, complete the following steps:

Important: Granular discount rules will take precedence over default discount rules, and discounts will not be aggregated.

1. Access the AWS Discount and Credit Manager

   • Follow the instructions in this section to open the tool.

2. Create the Discount

   • Click Add Discount.

   • Enter a name that clearly identifies the rule as a default discount.

   • Specify the default discount percentage.

   • Choose whether the discount applies to resellers or customers.

   • (Optional) Set the Applicable Period if the discount should be time-bound.

   • Click Next.

3. Define the Standalone Accounts context (SPP Standalone only).

   It allows you to select AWS Child Accounts (also known as member or linked accounts) as a condition.

   • Select All to apply the discount regardless of the AWS child account involved in the transaction.

4. Define the customer context

   • Select All to apply the discount regardless of the customer involved in the transaction.

5. Define the reseller context

   • Select All to apply the discount regardless of the reseller involved in the transaction.

6. Define the service context

   If you select Standard Service, you can:

   • Choose Only Selected to apply the discount only when the selected services are involved in the transaction.

   • Choose Exclude Selected to apply the discount except when the selected services are involved in the transaction.

   Notes on Service Selection

   • AWS Standalone:

     You can either select a standard service manually or use auto-discovery, which dynamically selects services based on AWS refund lines that match description patterns configured in the Config tab. This applies to programs such as Enterprise Discount Program (EDP), Private Pricing Agreement (PPA), and Solution Provider Program (SPP).

   • AWS Consolidated:

     You can also select a standard service or use auto-discovery based on AWS refunds for the SPP. The service will be dynamically selected using refund line descriptions that match patterns in the Config tab.

     
     This dynamic approach simplifies service maintenance in discount rules. For more details, refer to the Automated Service Selection section.

7. Add Notes (Optional)

   • Enter any relevant information in the Discount Note field.

8. Submit the rule

   • Click Submit to save the rule.

   • A summary of the default discount rule will be displayed.
