IBM Entitlements

[Stephen42]

Hello all

I am looking for some support, guidance, expertise for IBM Entitlements.   I have been provided with;
1) TABLE 1: IPAA PROGRAMS [looks like a catalogue, @ 300 items]
2) TABLE 3: AGGREGATE CAPPED PROGRAMS [Includes Quantities, 10 items]

3) A Yearly aggregate Total for all licences/consumption

There is no way I can take the above, and align it with Software Models, and individual entitlement costs, aka, using a 'normal' entitlement structure (import or manual).  Our procurement team isn't of much help with the detail of the specific licences.

Does anyone have experience with this type of scenario ?  Do I need to create a 'contract' for the main costs, and each entitlement (linked to the contract) becomes $00.00 Unit Cost ?

I'd appreciate any insight from anyone who has been able to come up with a solution for this.

Thanks in advance
