Partner console consolidation
If you have 2 or more Partner Sales Consoles for Google Workspace customers who span multiple currencies, you can now unify the consoles into one. Doing so allows you to map customer accounts to a single currency and manage all customers using one Partner Sales Console.
For more information, go to Unify Partner Sales Consoles.

Manage private offer plans from ISVs & create private offers
In the Partner Sales Console, you can manage private offer plans from independent software vendors (ISVs) of Google Cloud Marketplace apps. With a private offer plan, an ISV offers a discount as an incentive to partners who resell their products. You can then create a private offer for your customer to give discounts on the ISV's products.
For more information, go to Manage private offer plans & private offers.

As part of partner program changes, if you are not able to purchase certain SKUs in the Partner Sales Console or Partner Sales Tool, or have lost access to the Partner Performance Dashboard, it may be because you need to expand your authorization into a particular product family or engagement model.

Resellers can now use multiple currencies
You can now purchase Google Workspace products using billing accounts in multiple currencies from a single Partner Sales Console. You no longer need to login into a separate Partner Sales Console for each currency you require. This feature can simplify management of Google Workspace customers and help collect powerful business insights and reporting.
To get started, you can request a new Google Workspace billing account from the Billing page in your Partner Sales Console. For details, go to Request a new Google Workspace billing account.
In the coming months, we will enable API support for Google Workspace transactions in multiple currencies. By late 2023, partners will be able to consolidate existing, single-currency consoles into a unified multi-currency console.
