Microsoft has recently announced the launch of its new Earnings workspace in Partner Center, which is now live and available for use. This development is set to impact all partners who utilize the Partner Center to view earnings and payouts. This includes Incentives Administrators and Incentives Users for the incentive programs, as well as Account Owners and Financial contributors for store and marketplace programs.
The Earnings workspace has been designed with a fresh look and feel, and boasts improved page usability, faster downloads, and a customer-centric view of revenue, usage, earnings, and payment. This workspace is expected to provide a more streamlined and efficient experience for users.
The Earnings page allows users to view and download earnings, payments insights, and associated transactional details. The Earnings summary provides a view of the top 50 earning customers and the payments, or by program/engagement/levers. Users can tailor the view by applying filters for a specific solution area, program, or payment.
The Payment summary allows partners to apply time filters and view payments for the chosen period only. Partners can filter by Payment month or Payment ID. Partners can directly click on Payment ID in the Payment summary view to filter the whole page and only show Earning insights for that payment.
The workspace also includes a Marketplace page where users can download the Earnings – Marketplace file to get only attributes specific to the marketplace. Store users can use the Earnings – Store file to get only attributes specific to the store.
The workspace also features enhanced page filters to enable better dissection of Microsoft commerce incentives - Solution Area and Partner role. The Earnings-Default page has brand new attributes that will help with better reconciliation.
The Revenue page helps users understand the eligibility of revenue or usage used to compute Microsoft commerce incentives program. The Revenue KPIs/Insights page provides distinct eligible and ineligible revenue for incentives.
The workspace also includes a Reports page, which serves as a central download hub where users can initiate new downloads or save completed downloads.
Microsoft has assured users that if they used the Payouts workspace, they will auto-inherit access to the Earnings workspace without any disruption. The previous pages related to Payouts workspace will be accessible for a few weeks as links from the new pages to help partners in the transition.
Microsoft has also clarified that the workspace and page updates do not imply any earning/payment policy changes. Until the end of October 2023, certain sections of Partner Center will still carry references to the Payouts workspace.
Microsoft encourages partners to sign in to Partner Center and visit the new Earnings workspace to view the latest updates. For any questions, partners can visit the Partner Center Support page.
