 Although related, billing differs from cost management. Billing is the process of invoicing customers for goods or services and managing the commercial relationship.
 
 Cost Management shows organizational cost and usage patterns with advanced analytics. Reports in Cost Management show the usage-based costs consumed by Azure services and third-party Marketplace offerings. Costs are based on negotiated prices and factor in reservation and Azure Hybrid Benefit discounts. Collectively, the reports show your internal and external costs for usage and Azure Marketplace charges. Other charges, such as reservation purchases, support, and taxes aren't yet shown in reports. The reports help you understand your spending and resource use and can help find spending anomalies. Predictive analytics are also available. Cost Management uses Azure management groups, budgets, and recommendations to show clearly how your expenses are organized and how you might reduce costs.
 
 You can use the Azure portal or various APIs for export automation to integrate cost data with external systems and processes. Automated billing data export and scheduled reports are also available.

Typically, the centrally managing team wants to reallocate the cost of the shared services back out to the internal departments or organizational business units who are actively using the services. This article helps you understand and use cost allocation in Cost Management.
 
 With cost allocation, you can reassign or distribute the costs of shared services from subscriptions, resource groups or tags to other subscriptions, resource groups or tags in your organization. Cost allocation shifts costs of the shared services to another subscription, resource groups, or tags owned by the consuming internal departments or business units. In other words, cost allocation helps to manage and show _cost accountability_ from one place to another.
