For example, John creates *Azure sub 01* on 5 March and *Azure sub 02* on 10 March. The invoice for *Azure sub 01* will have charges from the fifth day of a month to the fourth day of next month. The invoice for *Azure sub 02* will have charges from the tenth day of a month to the ninth day of next month. The invoices for all Azure subscriptions are generated on the day of the month that the account was created. In this example, if John created his account on 2 February, the invoices for both *Azure sub 01* and *Azure sub 02* will be generated on the second day of each month.

**Azure marketplace, reservations, and spot VMs** - An invoice is generated for reservations, marketplace products, and spot VMs purchased using a subscription. The invoice shows respective charges from the previous month. For example, John purchased a reservation on 1 March and another reservation on 30 March. A single invoice will be generated for both the reservations in April. The invoice for Azure marketplace, reservations, and spot VMs are always generated around the ninth day of the month.

**Azure support plan** - An invoice is generated each month for your support plan subscription. The invoice is generated 1 to 2 days from the day the support plan is purchased. For example, John purchased a developer support plan subscription on 2 March, he'll get an invoice on either the third or fourth day of each month until the support plan is active.

If you pay for Azure with a credit card and you buy reservation, Azure generates an immediate invoice. However, when billed by an invoice, you are charged for the reservation on your next monthly invoice.

An MCA billing account is created when your organization works with a Microsoft representative to sign an MCA.
