Please refer to the Reporting “Recommended Solutions” for more information on the transaction level reports available. The report will show if the payment is for an Adjustment or a rebate. Unfortunately, adjustments (earnings prior to the enrollment date) do not provide line item level of information.
For a rebate you will be able to see the program or offer name along with the line items which earned incentives under each program or offer.
For example, it would show that 100 units of Product or Product Family A earned you $500 at a rate of $5 per unit for Offer ID 12345 while 77 units of Product B at a rate of $10 each earned your Company an additional $770 under the same Offer, giving a total earned of $1270. Keep scrolling to the right of the exported file to locate the Offer or Program name and details.
Tip: create a simple pivot pulling in the “ExternalReferenceID” and the EarningAmount and any other fields you wish to include in a summary view.
Microsoft applies an internal exchange rate which is set monthly. If your local currency is different and you select it then the payment will be made in that currency using an exchange rate as set monthly by Microsoft. The partner is responsible for any changes in value due to the currency selected. To avoid use of the Microsoft rate we recommend selecting the disbursement currency to match that used by Microsoft in your program letters.
