Cost Management scopes with CSP Subscriptions

Hi,

We have 10 Azure subscriptions which are all CSP agreements and we expect this to grow over time. We are trying to set up cost management reports to give us an overview of cost across all subscriptions, a single report showing all subscriptions and then we can break this down into tags and any other helpful filters.

The problem I have is I am only able to view one subscription report at a time, I have learned that CSP subscriptions do not support Management groups inside Cost Management so I can't just use the root tennant group. The only other option is using a billing scope which I do not have access to because it's controlled through our MS partner via the CSP.

Is it possible for your MS partner to set up a billing scope through CSP subscriptions so we can use this as the scope and have visibility this way? Has anyone achieved this before? If i's possible then I will keep pushing our partner to give us this access.
Having to get an individual cost report of each subscription is not great, the management team don't want to look at multiple different cost reports for Azure!! I know another option is to export to a storage account and do something with the data yourself but surely this isn't the only option?!
Any guidance is appreciated so I can pass onto our partner.

Thanks

    Hi,

    If I understand correctly, you are a customer to the CSP partner. In that case your only option is to wait until Management Group support for CSP subscriptions is introduced. The CSP partner cannot give you access to the billing account as that billing account is located with their tenant not your tenant. If they give you access you will be able to see costs not only for your subscriptions but for all subscriptions for all customers that the partner is servicing.

    Please "Accept the answer" if the information helped you. This will help us and others in the community as well.
