# Economics

> See the money side of a partnership: blended margin, product catalog with per-product margins, wrap-around services, bundles, an economics summary, and discount and tier guidance.

Economics is the financial view of a partnership. It lives inside a Partner Profile, on the **Economics** tab, and it brings together everything about how you make money with a partner: the products they sell, what those products cost and earn, the services and bundles wrapped around them, and a rolled-up summary of blended margin and revenue mix. If you want to understand the commercial health of a partner at a glance, this is the page.

<Note>
  **Who can do what.** Admins can do everything here, including deleting products, services, and bundles. Managers can add and edit them but cannot delete. Viewers have read-only access: they see all the numbers but the Add, Edit, and Delete controls do not appear for them.
</Note>

## How to open it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a partner">
    Go to the **Partner Directory** and select a partner to open its profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the Economics tab">
    In the row of tabs under the partner header, choose **Economics**. It sits between Assets and Strategy.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The KPI strip

Across the top of the tab is a strip of key numbers that summarize the partner's economics at a glance. Each KPI shows its current value and, where available, how it has changed since the last period. Typical KPIs include:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Blended margin" icon="percent">
    The average margin across everything this partner sells, weighted by revenue. Your single best read on profitability.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Reseller tier" icon="award">
    The partner's current tier, which often drives discount eligibility and benefits.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Registered deals" icon="handshake">
    How many deals are registered against this partner, tying the economics back to real pipeline.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Best bundle" icon="box">
    The bundle delivering the strongest economics for this partner right now.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Hover the small info icon next to a label anywhere on this tab for a short plain-language explanation of what the number means.

## Product Catalog

The Product Catalog is a table of the core products this partner sells, with the pricing and margin for each one. It is the heart of the Economics tab.

| Column | What it shows |
| - | - |
| Product | The product name |
| Product SKU | The Internal SKU if set, otherwise the Vendor SKU |
| MSRP | The vendor's suggested retail price, for reference |
| Our Cost | What you pay the vendor per unit |
| Our Price | What you sell to the customer |
| Margin | Calculated automatically from price and cost |
| Notes | Internal notes for your team |

The **Margin** column is worked out for you as `(Our Price minus Our Cost) divided by Our Price`, shown as a percentage. Because it is derived, it updates live as you type new pricing while adding or editing a product.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select Add product">
    Select **Add product** in the top right of the Product Catalog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the product details">
    Fill in the product name, and optionally an Internal SKU and a Vendor SKU. You can fill either or both so your team can search by whichever they know.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the pricing">
    Enter the MSRP, Our Cost, and Our Price. The Margin field updates automatically as you type, so you can see the impact of each change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Add any internal notes, then select **Add product**. The new product appears in the table with its calculated margin.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The dialog below shows this in action: the product name, the Internal and Vendor SKUs, the MSRP, Our Cost, and Our Price, and the read-only Margin that recalculates as you type.

<Note>
  To change a product, select the pencil icon on its row. To remove one, select the trash icon (Admins only) and confirm. Deleting a product cannot be undone.
</Note>

## Wrap-Around Services

Below the catalog, Wrap-Around Services covers the implementation, onboarding, and managed services you attach to the core products. These are the offerings that turn a product sale into a full solution, and tracking them here keeps the true economics of a deal complete rather than product-only.

## Bundles

Bundles are named packages made up of products and services, with their economics rolled up into a single view. A bundle lets you see the combined price, cost, and margin of a go-to-market package, so you can compare bundles and lead with the ones that perform best.

## Economics Summary

The Economics Summary pulls the catalog together into a blended margin, a revenue mix, and an attach-rate view. It answers the higher-level questions: how profitable is this partner overall, where does the revenue come from, and how often do services and bundles attach to product sales.

## Discount Governance and Tier Advancement

At the bottom of the tab are two guidance callouts:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Discount Governance" icon="gavel">
    A reminder of the approval thresholds for discounts, so pricing stays within policy and the right person signs off when a discount is large.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tier Advancement" icon="trending-up">
    A view of where the partner sits against the next tier, so you can see what it takes to move them up and unlock better terms.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Economics is a per-partner view. To compare partners, open each one's Economics tab, or use the Analytics page for program-wide revenue and performance trends.
