PPA, EDP, and SPP Refund Split

AWS offers discounts through programs such as the Private Pricing Agreement (PPA), Enterprise Discount Program (EDP), and Service Provider Program (SPP) for services that meet the eligibility criteria defined in your contract. With the AWS Discount and Credit Manager, providers can identify applicable PPA, EDP, or SPP discounts and refunds from AWS invoices and determine how to distribute them among resellers and/or customers.

Note: The PPA/EDP refund split is not available for AWS Consolidated.

Key Capabilities

The AWS Discount and Credit Manager allows you to configure the percentage of EDP, PPA, or SPP discounts to be shared with the reseller and/or customer for the eligible services. This allows you to onboard EDP, PPA or SPP customers into CloudBlue, leveraging its billing automation to detect and apply discounts to the appropriate services.

This functionality is available under the Refund Split tab, where you can define rules to distribute refund amounts by specifying split percentages for customers and resellers. To learn more about how refund splits work, refer to the following section: Standard Discounts vs Discount Split

Creating a Refund Split

To create a refund split, complete the following steps:

1. Access the AWS Discount and Credit Manager by following the instructions in this section.

2. Go to the Refund Split tab and click Add Refund.

3. Enter the refund name and specify the split percentage to distribute the refund between provider and customer/reseller.

   Example: To allocate 40% of the PPA program benefit to customers or resellers, enter 40.

4. Specify if the refund will be applied to customers or resellers. Then, specify the refund applicable period, if required. Click Next.

5. (AWS Standalone Only) Select AWS Child Accounts (also known as member or linked accounts) as a condition.

   Note: If child accounts are selected, the parent (payer) account cannot be selected.

6. In the Customers and Resellers steps, you can select one of the following options:

   • All: It applies the refund split rule regardless of the customer or reseller involved in the transaction.

   • Only selected: It applies the refund split only when the selected customers or resellers are involved in the transaction.

   • Exclude Selected: It applies the refund split except when the selected customers or resellers are involved in the transaction.

   Note: For AWS Standalone, if a specific Child Account was selected earlier, this step will be skipped.

7. Choose a standard service or enable auto-discovery based on AWS refund data. If you select EDP, PPA, or SPP, services will be dynamically matched using description patterns configured in the Config tab. This simplifies maintenance of refund split rules.

   Note: The PPA/EDP refund split is not available for AWS Consolidated.

8. Add a description in the Refund Note field, if necessary.

9. Click Submit to see a summary of the new split refund rule.
