Understanding scopes is essential to effectively manage and analyze costs in Azure. A _scope_ is a type of boundary—like a subscription, resource group, or billing account—within which users can view, manage, and analyze cost data based on their assigned roles and permissions. This guide explains the types of scopes available in Azure Cost Management, how they relate to roles and permissions, and how they apply to Cost Management experiences in the Azure portal and to its APIs.

The Actual Cost dataset includes all meter-emitted usage charges from Azure, Marketplace and M365 offers. It also includes purchases from Marketplace and M365, as well as commitment-based benefits (reservations and savings plans). The benefit offsets the charges, so usage records covered by a commitment appear with zero costs.

The Amortized Cost data set, also includes all usage records, Marketplace and M365 purchases. However, the commitment-based purchases do not appear directly because their costs are amortized and applied to the usage where the benefit is consumed. As a result, the same usage that appears with zero costs in Actual Cost, shows charges in the Amortized Cost dataset. The Amortized Cost data set doesn't match your invoice, since it reflects amortized allocations rather than billed amounts.
