 The following table lists some of the most common grouping and filtering options and when you should use them.
 
-| Property | When to use |
-| --- | --- |
-| **Billing period** | Break down costs by invoice month. This option is important for pay-as-you-go and development/test subscriptions, which aren't bound to calendar months. EA/MCA accounts can use calendar months in the date picker or monthly granularity to accomplish the same goal. |
-| **Charge type** | Break down usage, purchase, refund, and unused reservation costs. Reservation purchases and refunds are available only when using action costs and not when using amortized costs. Unused reservation costs are available only when looking at amortized costs. |
-| **Cloud** | Break down costs by AWS and Azure. AWS costs are available only from management groups, external billing accounts, and external subscriptions. |
-| **Department** / **Invoice section** | Break down costs by EA department or MCA invoice section. This option is available only for EA/MCA billing accounts and MCA billing profiles. |
-| **Enrollment account** | Break down costs by EA account owner. This option is available only for EA billing accounts and departments. |
-| **Frequency** | Break down usage-based, one-time, and recurring costs. |

+| **Billing period** | Break down PAYG costs by the month they were (or will be) invoiced. | Use **Billing period** to get an accurate representation of invoiced PAYG charges. Include 2 extra days before and after the billing period if filtering down to a custom date range. Limiting to the exact billing period dates will not match the invoice. Will show costs from all invoices in the billing period. Use **Invoice ID** to filter down to a specific invoice.

EA/MCA accounts can use calendar months in the date picker or monthly granularity to accomplish the same goal. |

+| **Department** | Break down costs by EA department. | Available only for EA and management groups. PAYG subscriptions do not have a department and will show as **Not applicable** or **unassigned**. |
+| **Enrollment account** | Break down costs by EA account owner. | Available only for EA billing accounts, departments, and  management groups. PAYG subscriptions do not have EA enrollment accounts and will show as **Not applicable** or **unassigned**. |
+| **Frequency** | Break down usage-based, one-time, and recurring costs. | |
+| **Invoice ID** | Break down costs by billed invoice. | Unbilled charges do not have an invoice ID yet and EA costs do not include invoice details and will show as **Not applicable**.  |

+| **Pricing model** | Break costs down by on-demand, reservation, or spot usage. | Purchases show as **OnDemand**. If you see **Not applicable**, group by **Reservation** to determine whether the usage is reservation or on-demand usage and **Charge type** to identify purchases.
+| **Provider** | Break down costs by AWS and Azure. | Available only for management groups. |
+| **Publisher type** | Break down AWS, Azure, and Marketplace costs. |  |
+| **Reservation** | Break down costs by reservation. | Any usage or purchases that aren't associated with a reservation will show as **Not applicable**. Group by **Publisher type** to identify other Azure, AWS, or Marketplace purchases. |
+| **Resource** | Break down costs by resource. | Purchases show as **Not applicable**, because they're applied at an EA/PAYG billing account or MCA billing profile level and not associated with a specific resource. Group by **Publisher type** to identify other Azure, AWS, or Marketplace purchases. |
