Every contract is associated with a price sheet specific to a customer. This determines the individual customer prices in the agreed billing currency. In an MCA, the default associated price sheet equals the Azure retail price list in US currency (USD). You can access the price sheet in the Azure portal.

In an EA account, you can associate any valid work, school, or Microsoft account to EA billing roles. In an MCA account, you can associate only work accounts of an approved tenant to billing roles.

The billing relationship determines the prices for the consumed resources within the subscription. If you have a subscription that is associated with a contract that uses Azure retail prices, you pay the retail price. If the associated contract has customer specific prices (for example, by signing a MACC with applicable discounts), the resources within this subscription are charged at these prices.
