Verbiage in Referral AU% tab incorrect
Suggested by Oscar Goco – Completed – 2 Comments
When reviewing the customer referral in Partner Center > Insights > FastTrack > Referrals > customer name > AU% tab. The screen states:"There is currently no Active Usage Data for this tenant.To view the Active Usage Data, please visit the FRP Dashboard"Going to the Partner's FRP Dashboard, the customer is not even listed thus no AU data is available.I suspect this is because the partner does not have an approved CPOR association to view the Active Usage data.If so, the verbiage should state that the AU% is not available until a CPOR association is established.However, it would be best to have the AU% data available and visible to provide insight to the customer deployment status. -
Referral process improvements
Suggested by David Nudelman – Completed – 2 Comments
The referral process is telling a customer, that we have been engaged for a long time and have CPOR for the workloads in question, that we are not endorsed for these workloads.If we have a CPOR claim, the process should stop there, the customer gets referred back to us.Also, during the request the customer asked us t be the designated partner. That should also bypass the referral workflow that is in place now. We were always told that the customer has the right to choose their partner.I believe the correct order should be:- CPOR
- What the customer wants
- The referral workflow
Also you should improve the language used in the program, it sounds very negative to partners.Customers new to FT with no valid CPOR claim should go straight to #3. -
FPR - Steeves and Associates
Suggested by Lily Cui – Completed – 3 Comments
Endorsement model: Smaller partners are not able to obtain as many Endorsements even though they may be qualified to do the work. Steeves and Associates is an example of this where they have strong competencies and can deliver in many workloads, however they only qualify for ACM. -

FT voucher redemption form
Suggested by Sebastian Baca – Completed – 3 Comments
Having to submit all vouchers via the M365 Portal creates a HUGE bottleneck for a company the size of Avanade.
We have sellers al over that need to utilize these vouchers, and we cannot grant access to the portal to everyone (as the process is not very straight forward and requires additional approval from both sides).Are there plans to revert back to the old way of using the form to submit?

Partner Operational Support UX Improvements
Suggested by Teresa Heuke – Completed – 3 Comments
Hi TeamThe current UX for the Partner Operational Support Partner Support · M365 Specialty Partner (powerappsportals.com) is not very handy and it would be great if we could see improvements in future:1.) Currently there is no function to put someone in CC. So if someone logging a ticket gets on sick leave there is no possibility for a colleague to take over. So an additional field with people being informed and able to access the ticket would be helpful.2.) There is no possibility to escalate a ticket. As global FRP Admin of my company I am supporting our Operations Team and quite often need to jump in to help them to get things moving. Currently I have to send screenshots of the conversation to my FPM, which is very clumsy and not helpful.Thank you very much for thinking this over.BRTeresa
