Issue/Introduction

In the platform, Non-Recurring Costs are those costs for which the Item Description field has one of these values:

• Sign up charge for subscription
• Hours purchased
• Tax of type
• Recurring Fee
• Prorated recurring fee
• AWS re:Invent Ticket
• AWS Support

In addition, the platform looks at the product and usage_type columns to filter out any line items with the following values:

• product = "PN_REDSHIFT" AND usage_type =~ "HeavyUsage"
• product = "PN_RDS" AND description =~ "hourly fee per"

These two filters are used for RedShift All Upfront and RDS Heavy Reservation unused charges (Legacy type of RDS RI).
