How to manage Adobe contracts in Partner Management Portal
Introduction
This article guides you through managing Adobe contracts in Disti Portal. When working with Adobe as a vendor, you have two options: creating a new contract for a fresh Adobe partnership or adding an existing VIPMP (Value Incentive Plan Marketplace) contract to link your current Adobe seller account. Both processes are accessible through the Contracts section and allow you to configure industry settings for your Adobe products.

Accessing Adobe contracts
Navigate to Partner Management Portal and select the Contracts section. From the vendor list, choose Adobe. The system displays two radio button options for managing your Adobe contract:
- Create new contract
- Add existing contract
Select the option that matches your needs and follow the corresponding steps below.
Creating a new Adobe contract
Select the Create new contract radio button to establish a new Adobe partnership.
Contract configuration
The system displays the standard contract creation interface with the following characteristics:
The Adobe external Id field is not displayed - this will be automatically generated by the system.
Industry selection: Choose the industries you want to enable for your Adobe contract. Multiple industries can be selected based on your business needs.
Complete the setup
After configuring your industry preferences, click Update to create the contract.
The system generates the necessary contract details and provisions your Adobe partnership.
Adding an existing VIPMP contract
If you already have an Adobe VIPMP seller account, select the Add existing contract radio button to link it to Disti Portal.
Enter your Reseller VIPMP ID
The system displays a text field labeled Reseller VIPMP Id and a Validate and Load Data button.
Enter your Adobe VIPMP ID in the text field. The Validate and Load Data button becomes active once you've entered the ID.
Validate and load data
Click Validate and Load Data to initiate the validation process. The system sends an API request to verify your VIPMP ID and retrieve your existing contract information.
The validation process returns one of two results:
Success: If your VIPMP ID is valid, the system retrieves your current industry settings from Adobe. All three available industries are displayed as read-only checkboxes, with the industries associated with your VIPMP account already selected.
Failure: If validation fails, an error message appears. This may occur if the VIPMP ID is invalid or if there are connectivity issues with Adobe's systems.
Finalize the contract
After successful validation and reviewing the imported industry settings, click Update to complete the process.
The system performs a final verification to ensure this VIPMP ID hasn't been previously registered in your channel.
Managing your Adobe contract
Once your Adobe contract is created (either new or existing), you can view and manage it from the Contracts page.
Viewing contract details
Open your Adobe contract to view its details. For contracts created by adding an existing VIPMP ID, the Reseller VIPMP Id field displays your validated ID.
Updating industry settings
You can modify industry settings at any time using the standard update functionality. However, the Reseller VIPMP Id field remains read-only and cannot be changed after contract creation.
Summary
Partner Management Portal provides two flexible options for managing Adobe contracts: creating new contracts for fresh partnerships or linking existing VIPMP contracts to streamline onboarding. The system automatically handles validation and industry configuration, ensuring your Adobe partnership is correctly set up. Whether you're starting fresh or bringing an existing relationship into the platform, the process is designed to be straightforward and secure.
