Billing Scope Configuration

Define Your Billing Scope Month by Month

You can access to billing scope configuration through the Cost Control page.

Note:

The screenshot above is for the case where the infrastructure is already defined. If the infrastructure is not yet defined a Configure your infrastructure button appears instead of the Define your IBM billing scope button. Clicking on the Configure your infrastructure button takes you to the Infrastructure page, which lets you define your infrastructure according to this article.

After selecting a month, you can begin create your different subset.

Create a New Subset

The name and pricing metric are mandatory, you should also select at least one LPAR.

Display and Edit Subset

After the creation of a subset you should see a new card with your subset, here you can see a list of CPC and LPARs associated to this subset.

You can exclude CPC from billing or from TTO, you can update the description or the CPC/LPARs from the edit button.

You have the possibility to delete a subset by clicking on the delete button.

Duplicate Scope

To create your subset faster you can copy the preceding month (if you are on December 2020 it will copy the scope of November 2020).

See the Cost Calculation page for SCRT import information.
