OCBAWS reInvent, CapacityBlockFee and Amazon Registrar charges in CloudHealth

Products

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

The Statement/FlexReport total will show to be higher than Cost History report.

 

 

Resolution

The difference can be due to how Cost History is grouped by 'UsageStartDate' and Statements/FlexReports look at 'BillingPeriodStartDate'. 

Services like "Amazon Registrar", "CapacityBlockFee" and "OCBAWS reInvent Passes" are billed on a certain month but their UsageStartDate is in the future. 

Example:

Cost History will show the "OCBAWS reInvent Passes" charge in November 2024 because that is when the usage date started.

Statements/FlexReports will show the charge in October 2024 because that is when the customer was billed for this service. 

To confirm this:

• Download the Statement CSV for the month in question here: https://apps.cloudhealthtech.com/reports/aws/system/statements  
• Filter the statement by UsageStartDate column to where the data is not in current month.
• Filter the RecordType column to only Payer or Linked account and the total cost should equal the difference you observed between Statement/FlexReport and Cost History.
