The problem
What brings Azure teams here?
Azure subscriptions and resource groups often have different owners. When the total rises, IT and finance need a shared explanation of the change without confusing Actual Cost data with a tax-inclusive invoice.

Azure questions before you connect
Why can Azure cost data differ from the invoice?
Cost Management data and a tax-inclusive invoice can use different bases. Match the period, scope, currency and actual-cost basis, and review excluded invoice adjustments.
Can I review multiple Azure subscriptions?
Use a supported subscription, management-group or billing scope with the required permissions. Verify the subscriptions returned by the connection before treating the total as complete.
Is Microsoft Teams delivery available?
Teams delivery is currently marked coming soon. Use the supported Slack or email workflows and check current availability before choosing your notification destination.
