To provide a better experience of viewing the bills, we have comprehensively upgraded the bills function in the billing center. The new version of the bills will provide you with richer data content, more flexible data retrieval tools, and more convenient data query views, allowing you to understand your cloud costs in a more detailed and intuitive manner.
The primary enhancements in this new version of the Bills include:
The original Bill Overview and Bill Details page in the left sidebar of the Billing Center have been consolidated, making different levels of bills clearer and reducing the steps needed to switch between bills.
The Bill Overview now unifies the monthly expenditure trend and cost structure across various dimensions into a single visual chart, providing users with a clearer and more intuitive understanding of their costs.
The multi-dimensional Bill Summary has been separated into a more concise detailed table page, allowing for a more convenient view of cost structure details.
Both the Bill by Instance and Bill Details support two types of filtering modes at the top and in the header, with additional filtering dimensions and multi-selection support to ensure efficient filtering during reconciliation queries.
The Bill by Instance provides detailed analysis down to the resource level, facilitating users in querying and analyzing the detailed cost structure and expenditure trends of resources.
The Bill Details has been enriched with more field attribute information, including configuration description, price attributes, original usage/duration, deductible usage/duration (including resource packages), calculation notes, and billing rules, totaling six fields. This allows for a more transparent restoration of the billing process, supports detailed reconciliation, and ensures consistency in the naming of fields across all levels of bills, guaranteeing uniform interpretation and user experience. For a detailed explanation of the fields, please refer to the Fields in Bills.
