Setting Monthly Budgets for Customers

A partner can set monthly budgets for a customer associated with the partner by reseller model. The budget will automatically restore in the next month.

Procedure

  1. Use your partner account to log in to HUAWEI CLOUD.
  2. In the drop-down list of your account name, click Partner Center to go to the Partner Center.
  3. Select Sales > Customer Business > Customer Management on the top navigation bar.
  4. Select a customer in the Customer/Account Name column and click Set Budget in the Operation column. On the displayed Set Budget page, set Budget Type to Monthly Budget.

    • Automatic account freezing

    • Manual account freezing

    • You can select multiple customers and click Set Budget above the customer list to achieve batch budget setting. The newly budget set will replace the earlier budget set.
    • When you set a monthly budget for a customer, 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 want to unfreeze the account, select Unfreeze Now and click OK.
    • To view the monthly budget adjustment record, click Adjustment Record on the displayed Set Monthly Budget page.

  5. Enter a value and click OK.

    When a customer is associated with a partner by reseller model, the customer account is frozen by default. When the account is frozen, the customer cannot purchase, renew the subscription to, change, or properly use the resources. The partner 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 has been set successfully.

    If partners have enabled the verification code function, a verification code is required to verify the identity.

  6. Click OK.
