3: Split Billing for Microsoft Products – New Invoice Preferences Now Available:

 

In November 2025, we have introduced a new Microsoft invoice preferences feature within our Cloud Commerce Platform - CCx at https://buy.insight.com, designed to give our customers greater flexibility in how Microsoft billing is structured. This capability is integrated across all relevant systems, including direct clients and resellers.

Available Invoice Preferences, located in the Account page within CCx:

  • Standard: Invoices will remain unchanged and follow the current format.
  • By Purchase Order Number: Each purchase order will generate a separate invoice.
  • Split Azure and the Rest: Two distinct invoices will be issued, one for Azure-related charges (consumption, reservations, marketplace, etc.), and one for Microsoft 365 license subscriptions (including Perpetual Software, Software Subscriptions and related products).

This update empowers our customers to align billing with internal processes and improve financial clarity across Microsoft product lines.
