Getting Started with Monthly Sync

This article covers the process for syncing your first NCE invoice within CSP Portal.

To complete this process, you must have the Monthly Sync Setting configured under Company Settings > NCE Sync Settings:

A new set of charges or additions will be generated on your PSA agreements and contracts once the sync is complete. These will reflect the finalized quantities from the NCE invoice, with one charge or addition per invoice line item per month.

The sync logic and examples for each PSA are available on separate articles:

Monthly New Commerce Invoice issued by Dicker Data

Dicker Data start processing NCE related billing once finalisation is received from Microsoft
Although the timing of these invoices are subject to Microsoft, Dicker Data aim to have these complete by mid-month
As a Dicker Data partner, you will receive a single invoice containing all NCE related charges for the previous month. As an example, on the 15th of August I would receive an invoice for my customer’s NCE usage between 1st-31st of July

Example Invoice

Once this invoice is received, CSP Portal automatically detects that a new NCE invoice is ready to be processed
Your NCE invoice will appear in the Invoice Menu

Setting up Invoice Sync Notifications

A new Invoice Sync notification is available to configure under your Company Settings menu.

Recipients of this list will receive notifications when:

A new Dicker Data invoice is available to sync within the CSP Portal

Resolving Missing Mappings

Similar to CSP Portal Legacy, each NCE license for a customer is linked to an agreement and product in ConnectWise or contract and service in Autotask. NCE Product Mapping Article

The Click to View Missing Mappings button provides a summary of missing mappings for this invoice, as well as instructions on how to resolve them.

To resolve these mappings, we recommend leaving the Missing Mappings window open and browsing to CSP Portal in another browser tab.

Missing Product Mappings are resolved on the Licenses tab and are indicated by the Product Mapped Status. Supporting help article: Dicker Data NCE licenses are mapped to the correct PSA products/services/agreement/contracts

Once you have finished these mappings, select Refresh Data or refresh your browser.
