How to identify order errors

You can find an overview of successful and failed orders in the Order Status report.

Common order errors and solutions

Pending operation on subscription

Error message: "There is a pending operation on subscription X. Please try again in 24 hours"

Solution: Wait 24 hours and place the order again. The vendor may have processes running that temporarily prevent new orders from being placed.

Incomplete or missing billing information (Microsoft Subscriptions)

Error message: Order cannot be completed due to missing or invalid billing information

Solution: Orders cannot be completed if billing information is missing or the email address is invalid. To resolve this issue:

1. Confirm that all information has been filled in correctly in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center or Microsoft Partner Center. Check for missing address lines, postal codes, and other required fields.
2. Wait for overnight synchronization, or synchronize the information manually from the Microsoft Partner Center for immediate effect.
3. Resubmit the order once the information is updated.

Multiple Azure plans

Error message: More than 1 Azure plan detected

Solution: Only one Azure plan can be purchased per Customer. If you need to suspend the Subscription, all active Subscriptions must be suspended first via Microsoft Partner Center or Azure Portal. Note that there are no limitations on the number of Azure Subscriptions inside an Azure plan.

Reseller and customer domain conflict

Error message: The Reseller Domain cannot be the same as the Customer Domain

Solution: The Reseller and Customer cannot use the same Domain. For example, if the Seller email address is john@example.com, you cannot place an order for a Customer using an email address like customer@example.com. Use a different Domain for the Customer Organization.

Microsoft Customer Agreement not accepted

Error message: MCA has to be updated in the Microsoft Partner Center

Solution: Before completing the purchase, either:

• Provide Partner confirmation of the Customer's acceptance of the Microsoft Customer Agreement, or
• Have the Customer accept the Microsoft Customer Agreement in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

Education product provisioning failed

Error message: Order provisioning failed for Education Product

Solution: The Customer profile is not set as Educational in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center or Microsoft Partner Center. This setting can only be changed by contacting support and requesting to change the Organization type.

Internal error

Error message: An internal error occurred

Solution: Try resubmitting the provisioning. If the error persists, contact support for assistance.
