Technical updates were pushed that will change the Provider invoice import process. Work 365 users using Azure billing will be impacted by these changes.
These changes and optimizations are aimed to:
– Eliminate false checksum errors that occur when certain marketplace items were included in the consumption data
– Significantly improve performance (reduce the timeout issues on the user interface)
The benefit of this will be that over time the provider invoices will sync more consistently without human intervention and the UI to import the invoices will be much more responsive.
This recent change impacts the checksum logic so please keep a watch out for the provider invoices that are imported in the month of August and validate that the consumption data is what reflects in the actual provider invoice in the partner center.
In case of any discrepancies, please send the daily rated azure consumption file to your CSM or join Work 365 Office Hours to review the data.
