Cost allocation refers to users redistributing the fees or costs of cloud resources in their bills according to their own management or analysis needs. The cost allocation bill represents a more granular bill after redistribution.
Tencent Cloud achieves cost allocation through Cost Allocation Units and Cost Allocation Tags. For the setup of Cost Allocation Units and Cost Allocation Tags, please refer to the documentation of Cost Allocation Units and Cost Allocation Tags.
Cost Allocation Bill Feature Description
The Cost Allocation Bill includes detailed expenses of all Cost Allocation Units, clearly showing each department or project's cloud resources usage and expense proportion. Through the Cost Allocation Bill, enterprises can more accurately understand each department or project's cloud resources usage, allowing for better budgeting and cost control. It is possible to choose the billing period, statistical dimension, and statistical period of the Cost Allocation Bill as needed to view the bill.
The allocation statement is summarized through the Overview, Product, Resource, Component dimensions, supporting the Month, Day dimensions for the statistical period.
Supports viewing collected costs, shared costs, and total costs separately.
Supports viewing cost Proportion, MoM, and Trend.
