Pricing Calculator Reserved Instances for Azure B Series Virtual Machines

Good day,

I want to calculate the cost of Reserved Instances for the B12MS virtual machine, but the pricing calculator gives me that "The 1 year reserved option is not available for the selected instances.", "The 3 year reserved option is not available available for selected instances. "

I want to know why can't it be calculated ?, and if the SKU B12MS can be reserved in the Azure portal

Greetings

Hello @CamiloAndrsHidalgoCastillo-4351,

Is my understanding that while looking for virtual machine instances you do not see a discount for the VM B12MS. If this is correct let me mention that while reviewing our documentation I located that some type of Virtual Machines do not apply to reserved instance purchasing and this is the case of the B12MS, B16MS, B20MS. Currently, you can't reserve B12MS instances via the Azure Portal, neither by filling out the support request.
You can check on the following link to locate all of the virtual machines and any discounts if they apply. You can also filter by region to see which ones are available: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/windows/

As example,
