Manage billing notifications and invoice attachment settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center

You can manage who receives billing notification emails for your organization on the Billing notifications page in the Microsoft 365 admin center. The page also provides the option to receive your organization's invoices as email attachments.

Before you begin

• Find out what type of billing account you have.
• If you have a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) billing account type, you must be a Billing account owner or contributor to do the tasks in this article. For information about billing account roles, see Understand your Microsoft business billing account.
• If you have a Microsoft Online Services Agreement (MOSA), you must be a Global admin to do the tasks in this article. Billing admins can also make some of these changes, as noted in this article. For more information, see About admin roles.

Caution

Global Administrators have almost unlimited access to your organization's settings and most of its data. To help keep your organization secure, we recommend that you limit the number of Global Administrators as much as possible.

Note

If you're the person who signed up for the subscription, you're automatically a Billing account owner.
