Understanding reconciliation files as a Customer

Downloading reconciliation files

In CloudCockpit you can access reconciliation files by pressing the Company menu and then clicking on Invoices.
You can then apply a filter to the type of reconciliation file you want to download as shown next:



General notes

Whenever a column is not applicable on a reconciliation file for a given charge or we don't have the information to populate it, its value will appear as empty in the file.
You can choose the regional format of the reconciliation file:


The format affects the following:
  1. How decimal values are separated, for example if values are separated with a "." or a ","
  2. The format of date columns
  3. The separator between each column


Opening reconciliation CSV files in Excel

Long Numbers
When opening a csv file through Excel, the last digits in a long number after the 15th digit are turned to zeros.
Example: 569142413664018751 is turned into 569142413664018000 

Dates Incorrectly formatted
Despite the dates being correctly formatted in the csv file, in Excel they sometimes can fail to appear correctly as some dates are sometimes formatted in the "General" format while others are in "Custom".




Onetime reconciliation files

Onetime reconciliation files contain the charges of Azure Plan, Azure Savings Plan, Azure Reservations, New Commerce Licenses (such as Office 365), Software Subscriptions, Perpetual Software Subscriptions and Marketplace Subscriptions (not yet supported).
