Power BI Reconciliation application can be used by indirect and direct Microsoft CSPs to cross-check the charges between the interworks.cloud platform and Microsoft. You should start by selecting your reconciliation period and the filters you wish for narrowing down the results.

Filters

Configure the available filters to narrow down the results and filter out irrelevant data.

The following filters are available:

  • Reconciliation Period: Select the date range using the slider(s). The reconciliation period cannot be more than six months, and the earliest start date is February 1st, 2023. Note that the Valid Recon Period displayed is in mm/dd/yyyy format.

  • Account ID: Use this filter if you wish to reconcile the subscriptions of a specific end customer. You should enter the ID of the BSS account record.

  • Billing Account ID: For indirect CSPs, this filter can be used for reconciling the subscriptions of a specific reseller. You should enter the ID of the BSS account record.

  • MS Subscription ID: You can use this filter to reconcile a specific Microsoft subscription for the defined reconciliation period.

  • Microsoft Product Types: Use this filter for reconciling only specific types of Microsoft services:

    • Dynamics 365 - Legacy Dynamics 365

    • MSCloudServices - Legacy Office 365

    • MSOnlineServicesNceProductType - New Commerce Experience

    • MSAzurePlanProductType - Microsoft Azure Plan

    • MSSoftwareSubscriptionsProductType - Software Subscriptions

  • CSP Partner - By default will be the name of your organization. This field will have more options only if you have country tenants and you have asked the same Power BI user to be able to reconcile all your country tenants.

  • Results Filtering -

    • All - Show all subscriptions within the specified reconciliation period

    • Discrepancies - Only show subscriptions with discrepancies

    • Missing Data - Only show subscriptions where data is missing. These are subscriptions that have been billed either from our system or from Microsoft but not from both systems.

Results Set

The results are displayed in the Reconciliation table. The reconciliation data can be found in the “BSS Data” and “MS Data” tables: The “BSS Data” table includes the platform invoice items, and the “MS Data” table includes the items found in MS reconciliation files.
