Combining 2 ARM templates ( Action Group and Budget Alert) - azure

Question

I am having a bit of an issue in combining two ARM templates. I want to create an Action Group and then subsequently create an Azure budget alert. I am able to do them individually but I want to create a single Arm template to achieve the task.
Works Fine -Here is the code to create Action Group (Getting the Option to select Resource Group or create one)
{
"type": "microsoft.insights/actionGroups",
"apiVersion": "2019-06-01",
"name": "OG",
"location": "Global",
"properties": {
"groupShortName": "OG",
"enabled": true,
"emailReceivers": [
{
"name": "[concat('Test','OG')]",
"emailAddress": "someemailID#xxx.com",
"useCommonAlertSchema": true
}
]
}
Works Fine - Here is the code to create Budget Alert (Getting the option to select Subscription)
"resources": [
{
"type": "Microsoft.Consumption/budgets",
"apiVersion": "2019-10-01",
"name": "[parameters('budgetName')]",
"properties": {
"timePeriod": {
"startDate": "[parameters('startDate')]",
"endDate": "[parameters('endDate')]"
},
"timeGrain": "[parameters('timeGrain')]",
"amount": "[parameters('amount')]",
"category": "Cost",
"notifications": {
"NotificationForExceededBudget1": {
"enabled": true,
"operator": "GreaterThan",
"threshold": "[parameters('firstThreshold')]",
"contactEmails": "[parameters('contactEmails')]",
"contactGroups": "[parameters('contactGroups')]"
}
}
}
}
]
And here is the combined code that I have come up with - Not Getting the option to select Resource Group
Problem - While deploying the combined template I am not getting the option to select "Resource Group" I need to have "Resource Group" to create Action Group but not for Budget Alert.
How can I combine the two templates?
Not able to make it work
"resources": [
{
"type": "microsoft.insights/actionGroups",
"apiVersion": "2019-06-01",
"name": "OG",
"location": "Global",
"properties": {
"groupShortName": "OG",
"enabled": true,
"emailReceivers": [
{
"name": "[concat('Test','OG')]",
"emailAddress": "someemailID#xxx.com",
"useCommonAlertSchema": true
}
]
}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.Consumption/budgets",
"apiVersion": "2019-10-01",
"name": "[parameters('budgetName')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('microsoft.insights/actionGroups','OG')]"
],
"properties": {
"timePeriod": {
"startDate": "[parameters('startDate')]",
"endDate": "[parameters('endDate')]"
},
"timeGrain": "[parameters('timeGrain')]",
"amount": "[parameters('amount')]",
"category": "Cost",
"notifications": {
"NotificationForExceededBudget1": {
"enabled": true,
"operator": "GreaterThan",
"threshold": "[parameters('firstThreshold')]",
"contactEmails": "[parameters('contactEmails')]",
"contactGroups": "[resourceId('microsoft.insights/actionGroups','OG')]"
}
}
}
}
]

Please nested the budget in a nest template and target it to subscription level (or management group level)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deploy-to-resource-group?tabs=azure-cli

},
