+## Ticket Details
+### Fix Tags Editing for Payment Method
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We identified and resolved an issue where the payment method tags could not 
+be updated in the workspace area under the financial section. This issue has 
+now been fixed, and all payment method tags can be updated as expected.
+
+### Improved logging when GCP Cloud Function call fails
+**Audience:** Operator<br>
+
+#### Description
+This adds the used parameter to the admin logs when a GCP cloud function call fails during
+a GCP tenant replication.
+
+### Remove erroneously updated Chargebacks and Usage Reports
+**Audience:** Customer, Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+For customers that already use our newly revamped chargeback process, the
+previous release accidentally caused existing chargeback statements to be
+cancelled and replaced by new chargeback statements, even though there were
+no differences between the cancelled chargeback statement and the new
+chargeback statement. Only chargeback statements that included Azure cost
+items from the period of October 2024 were impacted.
+This has been fixed, such that the erroneously created chargeback statements
+are removed, and the corresponding chargeback statements that were previously
+shown as cancelled are reset to their original state.
+This essentially means that chargeback statements that were previously shown
+with a yellow "Updated" badge are now shown with the green "Finalized" badge
+again. The actual line items (charges) inside the chargeback statement are
+not in any way modified by this fix.
+The same applies to Tenant Usage Reports.
+
+### Empty Recommended Building Blocks
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Before this change it could happen that the recommended building blocks page during the tenant/project 
+creation was empty in case no building blocks existed or all possible building blocks were already added. 
+This has now been adjusted so that the step has been removed if no recommended building blocks are available.
+
+### Missing projects when adding tenants via marketplace
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Resolves an issue where projects were incorrectly displayed as ineligible for adding a tenant when initially selecting the tenant from the marketplace.
+Specifically, projects with previously deleted tenants of the same platform were incorrectly shown as unavailable for receiving a new tenant.
+
+### Improved error message for last Subscription owner removal
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Azure does not allow the last Owner of a Subscription to be removed. This is often an issue with
+Azure platform configurations. Since the replicator principal can not be used as the owner
+(doing so in the configuration had no effect), the error message was now improved to point this out.
