You can confirm the Amortization of Savings Plans through use of the FlexReporting using specifically the "Amortized Cost in Reporting Currency", "Benefit Name" and "Pricing Model" fields.

Pricing Model will list what has covered the usage e.g. "Savings Plan" "Reservation" or "On Demand".

Benefit Name will list the name of the RI / Savings Plan that has covered the usage.

Amortized Cost in Reporting Currency is the source of the values returned in the Amortized Cost Report.
