Manufacturer Part Number model
The visibility of this data point which all product Plans have, is standardized across the different types of Products and Cloud Providers. A modular approach has been followed with up to 5 components integrating the Manufacturer Part Number, being these a concatenation of Product ID, SKU ID, Term, Billing Frequency, and another optional component some plans require, separated by colons. This is how these components are expressed:
1. Product ID | 2. SKU ID | 3. Term | 4. Billing Frequency | 5. Other (Examples) | |||
Unique per product | Unique per SKU/Plan | Unlimited | PU | Monthly | M | Education | EDU |
Day(s) | P#D | Quarterly | Q | Commercial | COM | ||
Month(s) | P#M | Yearly | Y | Government | GOV | ||
Quarter(s) | P#Q | One-time | * | Non-profit/ Charity | NPO | ||
Year(s) | P#Y |
|
| Min Quantity | 0 / 1000 | ||
*One-time purchases are not yet contemplated in the model. Current one-time Plans are labeled with the “Y” (annual) code, despite the platform would only charge them once.
This model does not always have a perfect match between its modular components and the different parts of Cloud Providers’ unique identifiers. This is the table of correspondence for the current Products live in StreamOne Ion:

StreamOne Ion Pages displaying Mfg Part Number
Mfg Part Number is visible in these three pages of the platform:
Marketplace (Product Details page)
Admin Console’s Marketplace allows searching for Mfg Part Number, returning always Plan results:
When clicking on the result, you will be brought to the Details page for the Product that contains that Plan, which will be pre-selected. The Product Details page of each Product in StreamOne Ion displays the column “Mfg Part Number”, highlighted below, that contains the unique identifier for each Plan, following the new model:
Subscriptions Module
The Admin Console’ Subscriptions module contains all the subscriptions of all of your customers in a single place, while keeping also the same inventory per customer within each Customer Profile. While the latter has other unique values like Customer PO and Reseller PO, only the standalone Subscriptions module contains the Mfg Part Number.
Display complete: The extension of the Manufacturer Part Number will not allow it to display completely in the page, but you can always hover any of the entries with your mouse and it will pop up complete as the above image reveals in its first entry.
Copy: Also, when single-clicking it, its value will be copied to the clipboard, and a message like the one below will appear to confirm it was copied.
Search: In order to search for any subscription by its Mfg Part Number, just type or copy the number into the search box, and the list of subscriptions will automatically update to display only those corresponding with your entry:
Note: the search field available within each Customer Profile’s Overview page inventory is not compatible with Mfg Part Number searches. Only the standalone Subscriptions page’s search box is responsive to this data point, as explained above.
Subscription Details Page
The Subscription Details page of the Admin Console, accessible in full screen from the Subscriptions module and also embedded in each Customer profile within its Overview page Inventory, is also displaying the Mfg Part Number. Please find it below marked in red in both versions of this page, depending on where are you coming from:
1 – From Subscriptions module
2 – From Customer-embedded Overview Inventory page
