You can view and download the usage reports of cloud services on managed service provider (MSP) contracts in your provider organization and all customer organizations managed by you in a specified calendar period.

VMware Cloud Partner Navigator gives you access to a record of the consumed cloud services by customer organizations in your provider organization. The usage report collects services usage data from current and previous months.

Monthly usage of previous months generates on the fifth day of the next month, and current monthly usage is available from the first day of every month.

Note: At this time, current monthly usage is displayed only for VMware Cloud on AWS host, Elastic vSAN, and EBS usage.
Note: There might be a discrepancy in the month in which certain usage is displayed in VMware Cloud Partner Navigator and the month in which the same usage is charged in a monthly billing order (MBO) in VMware Cloud Provider Commerce Portal. The reason is that MBOs in VMware Cloud Provider Commerce Portal might include usage in arrears and non-host usage of the previous 90 days which reached the billing system with a delay. While VMware Cloud Partner Navigator populates missing usage of the past 90 days on the month it actually occurred, VMware Cloud Provider Commerce Portal charges the same usage on the next possible MBO. For all billing purposes, refer to the data in VMware Cloud Provider Commerce Portal.
