Setting Monthly Budgets for Customers

If you need to set monthly budgets for your customers associated in the reseller model, you must be assigned necessary permissions by your distributor first. The monthly budgets set for your customers will be restored automatically the next month.

Procedure

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

    • Automatic account freezing

    • Manual account freezing

    • You can select multiple customers and click Set Budget above the customer list to batch set budgets for multiple customers.
    • When you set a monthly budget for a customer, 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 monthly budgets by clicking Adjustment Records.

  5. Enter a value and click OK.

    • When a customer associates with you in the reseller model, the customer's account will be frozen upon association by default. When the account is frozen, the customer cannot purchase, renew the subscription to, change, or properly use the resources. You can select Unfreeze Account when setting the monthly budget for the customer to unfreeze the account.

    A message is displayed indicating that the monthly budget is set.

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

  6. Click OK.
