When you work in the distribution model, the customer GCP project(s) is associated to a sub billing account through the ION management console, 'buy product' feature.
The instructions in this article assumes that the Google Cloud Platform service has been enabled for the customer and the sub-billing account is created and associated to the customer profile in the platform.
Prerequisite: The Customer Cloud ID is associated to the TD Synnex Google Partner Sales Console. The association of a customer google Cloud ID is completed via a custom relationship link provided by TD Synnex. The relationship link is custom to the Cloud ID of your client. If this step is not complete, contact your TD Synnex Sale Representative.
For existing GCP projects, you are moving the billing relationship from the current billing account to the sub-billing account created in the platform. (usually direct to In-direct).
When a sub-billing account is provisioned in the platform, there are 2 pieces of identification inputs required:
- Name for the Sub Billing Account
- Name and email address for the Billing Account Administrator
The TD SYNNEX will assign the Billing Account Administrator permissions to the user you identify.
The following instructions are performed by the Customer Billing Administrator:
1. Log into the GCP console.
To log into the GCP console, use this URL: https://console.cloud.google.com/
