Microsoft Azure Plan. Invoices
Issuing Invoices for Microsoft Azure Plan Subscriptions has the following specifics:
- Depending on the Account settings, a separate Invoice for every Subscription or a single Invoice for all Subscriptions with the same payment model can be issued. To search for an Invoice in the Customer Control Panel, use the Subscription ID (see Просмотр списка Актов).
- Invoices are issued with a delay about a week after a Billing day which is set to the first day of the month for all Microsoft Azure Plan Subscriptions. The delay is caused by waiting for the final consumption data from Microsoft. Approximately one more day is required for the platform to process the data.
- Refunds to a customer on the Microsoft side are considered in the platform as follows:
- The final Charge amount is reduced considering the negative values of the basic consumption.
- For reserved (Azure RI) and third-party resources, for every refund, a Charge with a negative amount is generated.
- The final amount of an Invoice may become less than or equal to 0 due to the total amount of the negative Charges.
- For a prepaid Subscription, refunds increase the Account balance by Transactions.
- For a postpaid Subscription, a Payment is not created if the final amount of an Invoice is less than or equal to 0. Refunds for a customer of the negative amount of a postpaid Invoice are performed outside the platform.
- Charges for reserved (Azure RI) and third-party resources are grouped in one line in an Invoice if they have the same description. The same is applied to negative Changes for refunds. The number of grouped charges is displayed in the Quantity field.
