Prerequisites

You have completed business information certification. For details, see Business Information Certification.

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. In the top navigation, select Sales > Incentives > Performance Management.

   

   

   The incentive earnings that can be applied for does not include the frozen incentive earnings. You can click View Freezing Reason of the target period to query the freezing reason for the incentive earning.

4. You can switch to the Request Payment page in either of the following methods:
   • In the Incentives to Be Requested for Payment are, click Request Payment.
   • On the Incentive Distribution > Incentive Payment tab, click Request Payment.

   The Request Payment page is displayed.

   

5. In the Request Payment dialog box, configure Payment Options, click OK.
   

   • When you apply for incentive earnings payment, the system selects all the incentive earnings to be applied for by default. If you want to apply for the payment of a single incentive earning or part of the incentive earnings, select the required items.
   • When you apply for the payment of a single incentive earning or partial incentive earnings, if you choose to pay them in Transfer to bank account or Top-up HUAWEI CLOUD account mode, you need to issue an invoice with the same amount as the applied incentive earnings amount after each application.
   • Apply for incentive earnings timely because they are valid for only one year.
   • Incentive earnings generated from resale customers can be paid to you through two methods: Top up Huawei Cloud account and Exchange for cash coupons, while those generated from referral customers can be paid through three methods: Transfer to bank account, Top up Huawei Cloud account, and Exchange for cash coupons. Refer to the applicable payment options the Payment Option column.
   • Transfer to bank account (This option is not applicable to incentives specific for revenues from new customers, incentives for quarterly and annual increased revenues, or special incentives in the partner resale model, and it can only be used for the distribution of monthly rebates in the referral model. To initiate a bank transfer, the amount must reach $200.00 USD, and an invoice is required. The incentive earnings will be transferred to your authenticated bank account within about 30 calendar days of when the invoice is received.)
   • Exchange for cash coupons (This option is applicable not only to incentives specific for revenues from new customers, incentives for quarterly and annual increased revenues, and special incentives in the partner resale model, but also to the distribution of monthly rebates in the referral model. There is no approval or invoice required, and no amount thresholds need to be met. You can get the cash coupons within about 10 minutes. The cash coupons are valid for one year and can be used to pay your bills.)
   • Top up Huawei Cloud account (This option is applicable not only to incentives specific for revenues from new customers, incentives for quarterly and annual increased revenues, and special incentives in the partner resale model, but also to the distribution of monthly rebates in the referral model. There is no invoice required, and no amount thresholds need to be met. The incentive earnings will be transferred to your Huawei Cloud account within about 30 calendar days of when the invoice is received. They cannot be withdrawn but can be used to pay your bills.) If you choose to top up your Huawei Cloud account, the amount added to your balance is subject to the exchange rate on the day of payment.
   • If you choose Transfer to bank account or Top-up HUAWEI CLOUD account, the incentive earning status will change to Processing Request after you submit the request, and then change to Pending Partner Invoice after the system processing is complete.
   • If you have a negative incentive earning, this item is selected by default and cannot be deselected. The negative amount will be first deducted before the incentive earnings are paid.
   • Expired incentive earnings cannot be paid. Incentive earnings attached to an application rejected while pending submission are no longer subject to expiry.

6. In the displayed dialog box, click Submit.

   The system displays a message indicating that the operation is successful.

7. (Optional) Enable automatic payment.
   

   After you enable this function, the system will automatically pay the incentive earnings to your account on the fifth day after the incentive earnings records were generated.

   In addition, if you select Transfer to bank account and the incentive earnings are less than $200 USD, you can wait and submit the request when the earnings reach the amount required.

   1. On the Incentive Management page, click after Auto Pay in the Incentives to Be Requested for Payment area.

      

   2. In the Modify Auto Pay Options dialog box, configure the incentive earnings payment options.
