This page describes the functions and features of the Power BI Reconciliation Tool for Microsoft Services. This tool can be used by indirect and direct Microsoft CSPs to cross-check the charges between the interworks.cloud platform and Microsoft. It compares what Microsoft charges to the CSP against the cost of the invoice items our platform has generated.
