Seamless Renewals & Service Continuity with Scheduled Orders
Businesses can plan ahead by scheduling subscription purchases straight from the shopping cart to align perfectly with contract renewals, budget cycles, or project start dates. This ensures services are activated exactly when needed, avoiding costly downtime, accidental overlaps, or missed renewal deadlines.
Improve Cash Flow with Partial Payment Collection
Instead of requiring full payment upfront, businesses can accept a portion of the amount due while tracking the remaining balance. This makes it easier for partners to manage large invoices through installments or within their credit limits, and gives partners greater flexibility in how payments are collected.
Give organizations detailed visibility into each charge by breaking down invoices into individual components such as network, memory, CPU, or storage, ensuring full cost transparency.
This level of detail supports clarity on what customers are paying for, procurement teams can allocate costs accurately across projects or cost centers, finance teams reduce disputes and accelerate payment cycles, and sales teams gain insight into component-level profitability for margin analysis and upselling opportunities.
Accelerate Cash Flow with Order-Level Invoicing
Instead of receiving separate invoices for each subscription in one order, businesses can now get one consolidated invoice that lists all items in the order on separate rows. This improves cash flow by generating an immediate invoice as soon as the order is provisioned, enabling faster revenue collection than traditional monthly billing.
This platform capability supports different use cases. For example, multiple offers from the same vendor are combined into one invoice, while mixed vendor orders generate separate invoices based on each vendor’s billing rules. It also supports cases like license quantity changes, same-day multiple orders, or partial provisioning, where invoices are created only for successfully provisioned items. This flexibility helps distributors and sellers manage one-time purchases efficiently while maintaining clear, auditable billing records.
Seamless Organization Transfers for Customer Management
Transferring Microsoft organizations between sellers helps distributors to streamline partner and customer management, safeguard billing accuracy, and ensure uninterrupted subscriptions. The transfer is supported by robust platform validation to ensure billing integrity and continuity of subscriptions.
A Centralized Place to Manage Platform Organizations
By providing a comprehensive overview of all vendor, distributor, seller, and customer organizations in one interface - with powerful search, filtering, and export capabilities- businesses can quickly navigate complex partner ecosystems, uncover insights, and take action faster.
AI Assistant of AppXite Help Center
The platform Help Center now features a built-in AI assistant - Mia - designed to provide instant, intelligent support. Mia acts as a powerful search engine across our knowledge base and API documentation, provides clear answers to product and technical questions, and escalates tickets to the support team when needed.

Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) Reacceptance – Customer List Available on Request
As part of the requirement for customers to reaccept the MCA (if previously accepted via attestation before April 1, 2023), we would like to inform you that AppXite has compiled a list of customers who fall into this category. To receive your customer list, please submit a request to AppXite Support.
This list can help identify customers which will need to reaccept the MCA through one of the attestation methods - using the APIs, Partner Center UX, MCA bulk attestation tool (available only until July 1, 2025) or direct acceptance by the customer.
After October 7, 2025, customers which last accepted MCA before April 1, 2023 will face restrictions on new subscriptions and certain management actions.
Upcoming Enforcement of Partner of Record (POR) Validation
Microsoft will enforce Partner of Record (POR) validation via API for all new CSP orders beginning on September 1, 2025. Transactions will be blocked if the indirect reseller assigned as POR is out of compliance.
To be compliant, an indirect reseller must:
- Have an active CSP tenant associated with an authorized Partner Location Account (PLA ID) (formerly MPN ID)
- Accept the Microsoft Partner Agreement (MPA) for indirect resellers
- Be associated with a distributor in your CSP region
Beginning September 1, 2025, validation checks will block transactions if PLA ID (formerly MPN ID), region, or tenant status is noncompliant, and system-generated error codes will indicate the reason for failure.
Adobe API Requirements & Incentive Impact
As part of ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and deliver greater value to customers, Adobe is introducing API requirements that will take effect by the end of Q1, Adobe FY26. Each quarter, Adobe will introduce the next quarter’s API Requirements.
API requirements are tied directly to quarterly rebates. As of February 27, 2026, partners who do not meet these Q1 FY26 requirements risk losing up to 25% of their Q1 M1/M2 rebate payout.
Currently, AppXite supports 2 of the 6 required Q1 FY26 API requirements and is actively working on expanding this:
- High Volume Discount - compliant, active API
- Reseller Change - compliant, active API
- Product Change Mix (Create Subscriptions) - ETA Q4 FY25
- High Growth - ETA Q4 FY25
- Late Renewal - ETA Q1 FY26
- Recommendations - ETA Q1 FY26
We are committed to delivering the remaining required features on our platform before the February 2026 deadline, and we will provide regular updates on our progress, timelines, and the steps you’ll need to take to remain fully eligible for rebates.
Adobe Deprecates EU English SKUs for EUR Pricelist
Starting September 1, 2025, Adobe will deprecate EU English SKUs on the EUR price list. For customers without a 3-year commitment, these subscriptions will not renew. This change affects roughly half of the EUR catalog and will require action to avoid service interruption.
To stay covered, customers must migrate to the equivalent MEL SKU. If you’d like to schedule the MEL subscription so it automatically replaces your current one at renewal, please contact AppXite Support. Otherwise, Adobe will mark the subscription as “not renewed,” which will appear in the AppXite platform within a few days.
