Partner Bill Description

A partner bill is generated when the partner consumes resources on Huawei Cloud. The partner can repay or apply for an invoice based on the bill. Partners' expenditures on Huawei Cloud comes from their customers.

In the Reseller model, the cloud solution provider is responsible for the customer's billing and invoicing, and Huawei Cloud does not directly provide related services to the partner's customers.

Calculation Rule of the Amount Due

The calculation rule is as follows:

Amount Due = Settlement amount - Coupons used + Tax

The tax calculation rule is determined based on the partner registration area. The tax includes VAT, CGST, SGST, or IGST. The contained parts vary according to the region.

Bill Precision

  • Before June 2021, bills on resources for long-term use (for example, pay-per-use resources or spot instances) were settled by hour, day, or month. The settled amount was accurate to the second decimal place, while the remaining decimal places were directly truncated.
  • From June to July in 2021, the amount of bills on resources for long-term use (for example, pay-per-use resources or spot instances) is rounded off and summarized to obtain the total amount.
  • From August 2021, the amounts during bill generation are no longer truncated. Only the total amount shown in the monthly bill is rounded off to the second decimal place. The following is an example:

    Expenditures ($8,083.8494925) + Refunds (-$853.8495) + Adjustments (-$37.9425) = $7192.0574925 (rounded off to the second decimal place $7,192.06)
