Hi @BernardP ,

Yes, under an MCA it is supported to transfer a subscription from one billing account (even in another tenant) to another billing account provided you have the required billing permissions.

Since you mentioned that you are:

  • Billing Owner on both billing accounts, and
  • Owner on the subscription

The supported method is to use a billing ownership transfer request from the destination billing account.

  1. Go to the target (destination) billing account:
    • Navigate to Cost Management + Billing
    • Select the target billing account → billing profile → invoice section
  2. Create a transfer request:
    • Go to Transfer requests
    • Click Add new request
    • Provide the source billing account owner’s email (or your own if same user)
  3. Accept the transfer:
    • Open the received transfer request
    • Select the subscription(s) to transfer
    • Review and confirm
  4. Complete the transfer:
    • After approval, the subscription billing ownership moves to the new billing account
