Setting One-Time Budgets for Customers

You can set one-time budgets for your resellers' customers associated in the reseller model. One-time budgets will not be restored automatically in the next month.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Huawei Cloud as a distributor.
  2. In the drop-down list of your account name, click Partner Center.
  3. On the top navigation bar, select Sales > Customer Business > Customer Management.
  4. Locate the target customer and click Set Budget in the Operation column. On the displayed Set Budget page, set Budget Type to One-Time Budget.

    • Automatic account freezing

    • Manual account freezing

    • When you set one-time budgets for customers, you also need to set Account freezing upon monthly budget exhaustion to Automatic or Manual. Automatic indicates that the system automatically freezes an account upon budget exhaustion. For details about how to manually freeze an account, see Freezing Customer Accounts and Resources.
    • If a customer account is frozen, the customer cannot purchase resources. If you need to unfreeze the account, select Unfreeze Now and click OK.
    • You can view adjustment records of one-time budgets by clicking Adjustment Records.
    • You can authorize your resellers to create or revoke budgets for their customers. For details, see Setting Account Freezing and Budget Setting Permissions for Resellers.

  5. Enter a one-time budget value and click OK.

    When a customer is associated with a partner in reseller model, the customer account is frozen by default and they cannot purchase, renew the subscription to, change, or properly use the resources. The partner can select Unfreeze Now when setting the one-time budget for the customer to unfreeze the account.

    A message is displayed indicating that the one-time budget is created.

    If you have enabled the verification code function, a verification code is required.

  6. Click OK.
