Managing purchase orders that cover multiple metrics or products

One purchase order may cover entitlements for different license metrics for the same product, multiple products or both license and support entitlements. In such case, add this purchase order to multiple applicable contracts.

For example, you have a purchase order for Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Datacenter and it covers 16 CPU Cores and 100 CALs. In that case, you need to assign this purchase order to two contracts.

  1. First, add this purchase order to Microsoft Core license contract.

  2. Add this purchase order to Microsoft CAL license contract.
