City finance notices separate line items on the Microsoft invoice for add-on SKUs in addition to the base Microsoft 365 plan. What does that billing pattern reflect?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If you bought the house and then the porch, the bill shows both. Add-ons show up as their own SKUs because they are extra entitlements on top of the base plan.
Full Explanation
Add-on licensing is billed in addition to base Microsoft 365 plans, so invoices commonly show distinct SKUs for those extras. That visibility helps municipal finance reconcile specialized purchases. Add-ons do not silently replace bases, are not universally free, and invoice lines do not indicate directory loss.
