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 Add-on Types tab.
  4. Click New Add-on Type.

  5. Specify the following parameters:

    • Add-on 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.
