Items

Learn about items in the Marketplace catalog and how to view them.

In the Marketplace Platform, an item refers to an individual stock-keeping unit (SKU) within a product. Items are part of a product, and they have their own specific name, billing model, commitment term, and billing period.

Additionally, a product can contain one or more items. For example, the Microsoft 365 Business, Enterprise & Apps - Commercial product can include different items, such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium (1-year commitment, annual billing), Microsoft 365 Business Basic (no Teams, 3-year commitment, yearly billing), Microsoft Teams Enterprise (1-month commitment, monthly billing), and more.

You can view the available items on the Items page. Items cannot be ordered on their own; they must be added to an order during a purchase order or a change order workflow. During the ordering process, all available items are displayed so you can choose which ones to add to your order.
