Send invoices as attachments
Currently when an invoice is generated, the billing/global admins receive an email that the invoice is ready to be viewed. It would be very beneficial if the actual invoice was attached in the email rather than having to login to view the invoice.

Azure has a billing API why Office 365 doesnt have one?
I want the ability to download all invoices via powershell.
Thanks. -

It would be great to have the ability to download invoices by script as well!

We set the option to "On", but now we receive two emails. One with the attachment, and one without it. it's redundant, and I wish they'd just send one email when you enable this feature.

Anything new on this front? Invoices come as an attachment now but there still seems to be no way for them to be sent to a secondary email in accounting.

Thanks for implementing, but your implementation is broken! I now receive an additional emailed pdf with the generic name of Office 365.pdf and the service description in each PDF is for "Online Services". Close but still way off the mark given that the other notification tells which service invoice is ready for viewing.
I'm okay with the generic subject line though as it makes utilizing Flow to stash these in a sharepoint library for vendor receipts easier. -

Hello - the toggle switch was set to "on", however I am still only getting the email directing me to log in and view my bill. Please advise.

This item should be removed, as it has been implemented.

I have the same issue as anon 23rd Jan - the slider just turns itself off again, seems not to be a way to save it as "on".

There is a option, but it does not save the setting. For me still the same problem as Drazenko reported October 13.

This is not working for me. I am putting it " on " but there is no save button. And when I click on something else and go back then it's on. Something you can look at ?

Hi All,
I'm happy to announce that we recently rolled out a feature where you can opt in to receiving billing notifications emails with the invoice PDF attached. Opting in is pretty easy.
1. Log in to the Office 365 Admin portal as an admin (https://portal.office.com)
2. Expand the Billing section in the navigation pane and click Billing Notifications
3. In the 'Receive billing statement as email attachment' section, slide the toggle switch to 'On'
That's it. During your next billing cycle you'll receive your invoice via email. Note that you will receive two billing notifications. The one you've already been getting, and a new one with the invoice attached.
Enjoy!

Hi Frederik, please check again. We had a minor glitch that was resolved yesterday. You should see the setting now.

This is still not available for me and the help documents refer to things that do not exist on the site at all. I'm a global admin.
Proposed solution from Mike_MSFT is not a live feature.

We always pay late -due to the fact Microsoft is not sending the invoice along with the mail.
Really annoying -

they solved the problem for us by making us change our O365 billing to a distributor, we can no longer be billed direct from MS. So now we get one invoice with all our services bill on account instead of a credit card. This is a good change

Just in case someone finds this and doesn't know... it IS now possible.
Login as an ADMIN, then go to Billing > Billing Notifications.
There's a little sldier to turn this on or off.
It will email ALL admins, regardless of their specific role (billing admin for example) and sends it to their ALTERNATE email address... This apparently is some sort of security feature...
