Note:
“✔” means the offer is inheritable, and “×” means uninheritable.
Note:
1.Make sure all offers of member accounts are covered by the ones the admin account has applied for, so that they can still enjoy those offers after inheriting from the admin. Member accounts can choose to use their own applied offers without inheriting the admin account's offers, but once they inherit, only the inherited offers will apply.
2. Inherited offers cannot be applied to products in the blocklist which don’t support offer inheritance.
3. Only when the member accounts and the admin account use the same settlement cycle (such as daily or monthly) can the former inherit the latter’s offers. You can adjust the settlement cycle of products such as Cloud Streaming Services, Video on Demand, and Short Message Service for member accounts through CPQ.
4. Rebates and finance-level offers cannot be inherited.
You can go to the TCO console to allow member accounts under the same verified entity as yours to inherit your offers. To implement offer inheritance for member accounts under a different verified entity, contact your sales rep. Once the inheritance relationship is established, you can view the inheritance details of your member accounts.
In the organization fund allocation or member self-pay mode, the inherited offers will remain effective when the admin deletes the organization or removes organization members, or when members actively quit the organization. To cancel these offers, contact your sales rep.
