Get started with your Microsoft Customer Agreement billing account

 A billing account is created when you sign up to use Azure. You use your billing account to manage invoices, payments, and track costs. You can have access to multiple billing accounts. For example, you might have signed up for Azure for your personal projects. You could also have access to Azure through your organization's Enterprise Agreement or Microsoft Customer Agreement. For each of these scenarios, you would have a separate billing account.

Your billing account

Your billing account for the Microsoft Customer Agreement contains one or more billing profiles that let you manage your invoices and payment methods. Each billing profile contains one or more invoice sections that let you organize costs on the billing profile's invoice.

Roles on the billing account have the highest level of permissions. By default, only the user who signed up for Azure gets access to the billing account. These roles should be assigned to users that need to view invoices, and track costs for your entire organization like finance or IT managers. For more information, see billing account roles and tasks.

Billing profiles

Use a billing profile to manage your invoice and payment methods. A monthly invoice is generated at the beginning of the month for each billing profile in your account. The invoice contains respective charges for all Azure subscriptions and other purchases from the previous month.

A billing profile is automatically created for your billing account. It contains one invoice section by default. You may create additional sections to easily track and organize costs based on your needs whether is it per project, department, or development environment. You'll see these sections on the billing profile's invoice reflecting the usage of each subscription and purchases you've assigned to it.

Roles on the billing profiles have permissions to view and manage invoices and payment methods. Assign these roles to users who pay invoices like members of the accounting team in your organization. For more information, see billing profile roles and tasks.

Each billing profile gets a monthly invoice

A monthly invoice is generated at the beginning of the month for each billing profile. The invoice contains all charges from the previous month.

You can view the invoice, download documents and change setting to get future invoices by email, in the Azure portal. For more information, see download invoices for a Microsoft Customer Agreement.
