Hello @Venkata satyanarayana Machari veera (CIS)

Thank you for your question. The Azure Cost Management connector currently supports customers with a direct Microsoft Customer Agreement or an Enterprise Agreement (EA) only. It is not supported for pay-as-you-go indirect MCA customers. Please read through this document for more details on supported types: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/analyze-cost-data-azure-cost-management-power-bi-template-app

If you have an unsupported agreement, you can use Exports to save the cost data to a share and then connect to it using Power BI. For more information please refer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/tutorial-export-acm-data?tabs=azure-portal

Regards,
Divya.

Hi Divya,

Thank you for providing details.

If the user has Enterprise Agreement (EA) Account then we can use the connector for Reserved Instance & Pay-as-you-go Mode services please suggest.

Hello @Venkata satyanarayana Machari veera (CIS)

with EA account (EA admin credentials or user with billing admin access) can use connector for reserved instance. When its comes to enterprise agreement there is no pay-as-you-go pricing for any services for any resource with in the enrollment or with the usage generated from any subscriptions with in the enrollment. So, please confirm what you are referring to as Pay-as-you-go mode service.
