Manage a Azure Consumption Commitment resource under a subscription

When you accept a Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) in a Microsoft Customer Agreement, the MACC resource gets placed in a subscription and resource group. The resource contains the metadata related to the MACC. Including: status of the MACC, commitment amount, start date, end date, and System ID. You can view the metadata in the Azure portal.

Move MACC across resource groups or subscriptions

You can move the MACC resource to another resource group or subscription. Moving it works the same way as moving other Azure resources.

Moving a MACC resource to another subscription or resource group is a metadata change. The move doesn't affect the commitment. The destination resource group or subscription must be within the same billing profile where the MACC is currently located.

To move a MACC

Here are the high-level steps to move a MACC resource. For more information about moving an Azure resource, see Move Azure resources to a new resource group or subscription.

  1. In the Azure portal, navigate to Resource groups.
  2. Select the resource group that contains the MACC resource.
  3. Select the MACC resource.
  4. At top of the page select Move and then select Move to another subscription or Move to another resource group.
  5. Follow the instructions to move the MACC resource.
  6. After the move is complete, verify that the MACC resource is in the new resource group or subscription.

After a MACC moves, its resource URI changes to reflect the new location.

To view the MACC resource URI

  1. In the Azure portal, search for Azure Consumption Commitments.
  2. Select the MACC resource.
  3. On the Overview page, in the left navigation menu, expand Settings, and then select Properties.
  4. The MACC resource URI is the ID value.

Here's an example image:

Rename MACC

The MACC’s resource name is a part of its Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and cannot be changed. However, you can use tags to help identify the MACC resource based on a nomenclature relevant to your organization.

Delete MACC

A MACC resource may only be deleted if its status is failed or canceled. Deletion of a MACC resource is a permanent action and cannot be undone.

Cancel MACC

Please contact your Microsoft account team if you have questions about canceling your MACC.

Track your MACC

If your organization has a MACC associated with a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) or Enterprise Agreement (EA) billing account, you can track key details—including start and end dates, remaining balance, and eligible spend—through the Azure portal or REST APIs. For more information, see Track your Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC).

View MACC milestones

If your MACC includes milestones, you can view milestone details in the Azure portal. Navigate to your MACC resource and select the Milestones tab to see a detailed breakdown of your commitment milestones. For more information about milestones, see MACC Milestones.

The milestones view displays the following information for each milestone:

  • End Date: The deadline for reaching the milestone commitment amount
  • Commitment amount: The amount that needs to be consumed by the end date
  • Status: Current status of the milestone (such as Active, Completed, or Failed)
  • Automatic Shortfall: Whether automatic shortfall is applicable for the milestone
  • Shortfall Amount: Any shortfall amount if the commitment isn't met (displays when applicable)

Here's an example of the milestone view:
