- Historical data – It isn’t available to account owners or users with the Subscription owner Azure role-based access control (RBAC) role after migration. Access for existing users, groups, or service principals that was assigned using [Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC)](../../role-based-access-control/overview.md) isn't affected during the transition.

- Reservations - When there's a currency change during or after an enrollment transfer, reservations paid for monthly are canceled for the source enrollment. Cancellation happens at the time of the next monthly payment for an individual reservation. The cancellation is intentional and only affects monthly reservation purchases. You can repurchase them after migration. **Reservations cancellations triggered by this migration do not count toward the cancellation threshold of USD 50,000 within a rolling 12-month window**. For the cancellation policy, please refer to [Self-service exchanges and refunds for Azure Reservations](../reservations/exchange-and-refund-azure-reservations.md)

Cost Management + Billing is managed with APIs and Azure portal functionality. For more information, see [Azure RBAC scopes](../costs/understand-work-scopes.md#azure-rbac-scopes).

421+
- Understand how management group scope affects cost views. EA-based views are not supported in MCA. To work around this, rebuild views using billing profile and invoice section scopes.

- Reconfigure the Export API using Azure Commerce Toolbox or PowerShell scripts to recreate export jobs with MCA-compatible APIs.
