    Hello @MS Techie

    Most of scripts on the internet is possible that are not updated for azure changes in formats or syntaxes. There is a fresh publication from Microsoft on the matter that should work successfully:

    you can find all details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/programmatically-create-subscription-enterprise-agreement?tabs=rest

    Hope this resolves your query,
    Best regards,

    @MS Techie - Thanks for reaching out.

    As @Limitless Technology rightly said about the fresh publication from Microsoft.

    To your point, There is no New-AzSubscription command that I'm aware of, the New-AzSubscriptionAlias command is in preview.

    If you want to use PowerShell, youneed to use the New-AzSubscriptionAlias command.

    See this article for more information: programmatically-create-subscription

    Hope this helps.

    If it does, Please feel free to "accept the answer" so it can be beneficial to the community.
