Reports & Exports
Use a supported report or CSV to review costs, configured responsibility and findings for a stated scope and period. Keep billed amounts, potential savings and verified outcomes separate.
Task and prerequisites
You need current workspace access, the relevant financial/report grant and an active export entitlement. Select the included connections and period. Check that the report is completed and its billing evidence is usable. A queued report, an owner assignment or an email link does not grant access or prove a file is ready.
Net and list pricing basis
Provider ActualCost is already net billed cost. Customer-net estimates use the applicable billed-cost or pricing contract. Catalog list context and configured discount assumptions are shown separately where supported.
When the SKU is unknown, a valid configured discount can reconstruct list context: list = net / (1 - discount). The discount is not applied again to provider actual cost. Keep native currencies separate across reports and exports.
Operational Review Candidates
Governance and security-posture conditions, including stale credentials, orphaned configurations and tagging gaps, remain review-first. These operational review candidates are kept separate from quantified financial opportunities.
Exports and masking
General audit PDF is unavailable during the controlled launch. Use authorized technical CSV exports and inspect configured redaction for account identifiers and resource names before sharing. CSV cells are protected against formula injection. AVD reports and internal statements have separate scope and access.
Evaluation scope
Evaluation scope is confirmed during onboarding or in writing. Published Starter, Growth and Enterprise plans keep all findings visible; quotas, scheduling, AI access and exports follow the active plan and configuration.
Review and export
- Confirm the report type, selected population, period, source revision and native currency.
- Inspect missing/provisional dates, unallocated costs and evidence limitations before using totals.
- Choose the available authorized format. An audit-specific CSV and a current Findings export can describe different populations.
- Reconcile matching records on the same cost basis. Preserve credits and adjustments; do not add mixed currencies.
- Check identifiers and any permitted named data before sharing with the approved audience.
The expected result is a usable file or review record whose scope and amounts can be reproduced. A report-generation time does not certify source freshness. An internal allocation statement is not a tax invoice. Use the exact cost reconciliation method.
Limitations and troubleshooting
For unavailable general audit PDF, use the supported CSV path; repeated requests cannot remove the launch restriction. Dedicated AVD reports have their own formats and grants. If an available export fails, inspect its safe failure and retry guidance instead of rerunning a successful audit. If figures differ, check scope, basis, revision, filters and missing billing before claiming a saving. An uncertain external delivery may prohibit resend to avoid duplicates. Review the delivery receipt guidance.
