If you have a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) and want to transfer a subscription from one billing account to another, even if the accounts are in different tenants, it is possible as long as you have the right billing permissions.
Since you’re the billing owner on both accounts and also own the subscription, the best way to do this is through a billing ownership transfer request from the new billing account.
Here’s how you can do it:
-
First, go to the account you want to transfer the subscription to.
- Navigate to Cost Management + Billing.
- Select the target billing account, then go to the billing profile and the invoice section.
-
Next, create a transfer request.
- Find and click on “Transfer requests.”
- Hit “Add new request.”
- Enter the email address of the owner of the current billing account (or your own email if you’re the same person).
-
Approving the transfer.
- Open the transfer request email you receive.
- Select the subscription(s) you want to move.
- Review the details carefully, then confirm the transfer.
-
Finalize the transfer.
- Once approved, the billing ownership of the subscription will shift to the new billing account.
This process effectively moves the billing responsibility for the subscription to a different account that supports this transfer under the MCA setup.
