Savings plan scopes
Setting the scope for a savings plan selects where the benefits apply.
You have the following options to scope a savings plan, depending on your needs:
Scope options
- Resource group scope - Applies benefits to eligible resources in the selected resource group.
- Subscription scope - Applies benefits to eligible resources in the selected subscription.
- Management group - Applies benefits to eligible resources from all subscriptions that are in both:
- the management group
- the same Enrollment/Billing Profile as the subscription used to purchase the benefit
- Shared scope - Applies benefits to eligible resources within subscriptions that are in the EA Enrollment or MCA Billing Profile. The shared scope benefits applied to all Microsoft Entra tenants in the Enrollment/Billing Profile.
Scope processing order
While applying savings plan benefits to your usage, Azure processes savings plans in the following order:
- Savings plans with resource group scope.
- Savings plans with subscription scope.
- Savings plans with management group scope.
- Savings plans shared scope.
You can always update the scope after you buy a savings plan. To do so, go to the savings plan, select Configuration, and rescope the savings plan. Rescoping a savings plan isn't a commercial transaction, so your savings plan term isn't changed. For more information about updating the scope, see Update the scope after you purchase a savings plan.
