Cost Allocation Bill

Last updated: 2024-12-02 17:46:26

    Overview

    Cost allocation means users' redistribution of fees or costs of cloud resources in their bills based on their own management or analysis needs. A cost allocation bill is a bill with finer granularity after redistribution.
    Tencent Cloud achieves cost allocation by setting cost allocation units and cost allocation tags. For the setting of cost allocation units and cost allocation tags, see the documentation of Cost Allocation Units and Cost Allocation Tags.

    Description of Cost Allocation Bill Features

    A cost allocation bill includes detailed expenses of all cost allocation units, and can clearly show the cloud resource usage and expense proportion of each department or project. Through the cost allocation bill, enterprises can more accurately understand the cloud resource usage of each department or project, so as to better control the budget and cost. You can choose the billing period, statistical dimension, and statistical period of the cost allocation bill as needed, and view the cost allocation bill.
    The cost allocation bill shows statistical cost allocation results through Overview, Product, Resources, and Component dimensions, and the statistical period supports Month and Day dimensions.
    It supports viewing collected costs, shared costs, and total costs separately.
    It supports viewing the Proportion, MoM , and Trend of costs.
