What information must be provided to a new Apple Authorized Reseller to ensure devices appear in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager?

To ensure that devices appear in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, it is essential to provide the Organization ID to the Apple Authorized Reseller. The Organization ID uniquely identifies your organization within Apple's systems and serves as an important linking mechanism for devices that you purchase through the reseller.

When devices are enrolled in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, they must be associated with your organization. The Organization ID allows Apple to associate those purchased devices with your account, ensuring that you can manage them effectively in the respective management platform. This process is central to the deployment of devices and ensures that they are registered for mobile device management (MDM) and other administrative functions.

Providing device serial numbers, a reseller number, or a purchase order number might be relevant in certain contexts, but it is the Organization ID that specifically allows the reseller to correctly tie the new devices to your Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager account, facilitating smooth enrollment and management.
