Configuring Cost at the Entity Level

The base rates defined in a cost model are global values and can be applied uniformly to the entities and

hierarchies for which you generate a report.

In a real-world scenario, however, you might want to charge each entity or a set of entities differently. That is,

the resource usage costs for one virtual machine might differ from that for the other. This can be achieved only

if the costs for each entity or a set of entities in the hierarchy are configured separately. You might also want

charge specific fixed costs for some of the entities.

View Cost Configuration of an Entity

You can view entity-specific cost configuration details in the Configure Cost tab.

You must have read privilege on the hierarchy, chargeback hierarchical entities, and the corresponding cost

models to perform this task.

Procedure

1 In the Configure Cost tab, click View Entity Cost.

2 Select a hierarchy from the hierarchies included in the drop-down menu.

The menu includes only the hierarchies on which you have at least the read privilege.

3 Expand the hierarchy and select the required entity.

4 Enter the time period for which you want to view the entity-specific cost configuration details.

5 Select the required cost model from the Cost Model drop-down menu.

Only the cost models on which you have the read privilege are displayed in the drop-down menu.
