Create a multiparty private offer for a customer
The ISV (originator) and the collaborating partner (seller) should use the same set of API calls to create a private offer for a customer. Here's the expected flow.
- ISV creates the offer and submits for selling partner visibility
- ISV notifies the selling partner (via email or other methods) the offer is now available for selling partner edits
- Selling partner reviews and completes configuring the private offer and submits for end customer visibility
Here's the method to call for the creation of the offer.
Request
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/rp/product-ingestion/configure?$version=2022-07-01
Request header
| Header | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

Request body
The following options mirror the options in Partner Center when creating a multiparty private offer for a customer. These options are defined by the following offerPricingType values:
| offerPricingType value | Partner Center private offer creation option equivalent |
|---|---|
| editExistingOfferPricingOnly | Customize pricing for existing public offer and plans - Use this option to create a private offer for all transactable offer types: SaaS, Azure Virtual Machines, and Azure Applications. You can customize your partner pricing via absolute pricing or percentage discounts. |
| saasNewCustomizedPlans | Customize pricing, meter quantities, and user limits for SaaS offer - Use this option to create a private offer for a SaaS plan by customizing your absolute partner price, metering dimension quantities, and user limits. |
| vmSoftwareReservations | Customize pricing and specific quantities for VM software reservation offers - Use this option to create a multiparty private offer to sell VM software reservations (1-year or 3-year) and customize the absolute partner price, vCPU size, quantities, duration, and payment schedule. |
For the previous three pricing type options, plan-specific resources requirements can vary. For details, see the following table:
| Resource name | editExistingOfferPricingOnly | saasNewCustomizedPlans | vmSoftwareReservations |
|---|---|---|---|
| pricing.Plan | Set this to the plan ID of the public plan to be configured in the request body | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| pricing.basePlan | Not applicable | Set this to the plan ID of the public plan to be configured in the request body | Set this to the plan ID of the public plan to be configured in the request body |
| pricing.newPlanDetails.name | Not applicable | Set this to the name of the new plan that will be shown to the customer in the request body | Not applicable to the request body, will be system generated and available in the response of the job when completed. |
| pricing.newPlanDetails.description | Not applicable | Set this to the description that will be shown to the customer for the new plan in the request body | Not applicable to the request body, will be system generated and available in the response of the job when complete. |
| customerContractRenewal value | Description |
|---|---|
| true | Private offer is a renewal of an existing customer contract. A 50% discounted agency fee applies to your private offer for customer renewals |
| false | Private offer is not a renewal of an existing customer contract. Your standard agency fee applies. |
The request body varies depending on the caller role. Use privateOfferType to distinguish ISV caller from selling partner caller.
| Caller role | privateOfferType value |
|---|---|
| ISV (Originator) | multipartyPromotionOriginator |
| Selling Partner (Seller) | multipartyPromotionChannelPartner |

Sample request body using absolute pricing to customize pricing for existing public plan only
If you're using absolute pricing instead of percentage-based discounting, you can create a new resource above the multiparty private offer resource that defines the absolute pricing, then include that newly created resource as another object in the resources list of the configure schema.
Use this method to obtain the pricing resource for your existing public plan, edit the prices, and then use the edited resource for your offer.
