Purchase Blocked by AWS Account Owner Verification

If a submitted plan shows as Blocked and the check reads AccountOwnerNotVerifiedException, the email address on your AWS Organization's management account has not been verified. AWS requires this before it will accept changes to the organization, so the purchase waits until it is done.

How to resolve it

The owner of the management account email does this. It takes a few minutes.

1. Sign in to your AWS Organization's management account.

2. Open AWS Organizations, then Settings.

3. Under the management account email, click Resend email verification.

4. Open the verification email from AWS and complete the verification.

Archera retries the purchase automatically. No action is needed in Archera.

AWS documents the requirement here: Email verification with AWS Organizations.

Not the same as adjusting account ownership

This is about verifying your own management account's email. It does not involve changing the email on any Archera account. If you are preparing for a PPA/EDP and need to take ownership of Archera's Guaranteed Commitment accounts, that is a separate process: see Adjusting Ownership of Guaranteed Commitment Account on AWS.
