Additional configuration for resellers

This section describes additional configuration for reseller accounts.

1. Create an additional enterprise property for resellers:

   1. amazon_discount: as agreed with Amazon, usually with a value such as 0.03, 0.02

2. In Pricing view, create price factors as required for the reseller, the customers, and for a percentage of managed costs. See Manage price factors

3. For your customer enterprises, add the Account ID as a public cloud credentialcredentials for compute and/or billing

4. Assign the privilege to View bills to your user roles

5. Optionally, configure Abiquo properties

   1. By default, the platform will retrieve billing data for the last two months. To change this value, on the Abiquo Server, set the following property

      abiquo.enterprise.property.billing.monthoffset=2

   2. By default, the platform will process all items in the CSV file, so the partner discount (SppDiscount) value can be visible on customer dashboards. To discard items from the CSV file, on the Remote Services server, set the following property with a list of codes of any items to discard.

      abiquo.ec2billing.parser.lineItemType.ignore=SppDiscount
