AWS Billing Conductor Documentation

Cross-account visibility

Billing groups are designed to allow you to group accounts with similar financial owners and provide a contextual view of their cost and usage. The primary account of the billing group, which you assign, is enabled to access cross-account billing visibility.

Rate management

The pricing configuration is designed to enable you to create global, billing entity, service, and SKU-specific pricing rules, which can be used together to determine the rate your end customer sees.  Pricing rules are designed to be applied on top of public, on-demand, AWS rates.

Line items

You are enabled to allocate fees and credits to match your internal billing logic. The assignment of line items is designed to be by billing group and you’re enabled to create a line item to adjust current month billing as well as the previous month. Line items are designed to be created for one time or recurring adjustments.

Cost and Usage Report per billing group

You are enabled to generate a Cost & Usage Report (CUR) for each of your billing groups, which is designed to be available at the payer account and the primary account of a billing group. Non-Primary accounts assigned within a billing group are enabled to generate a CUR only for their account.

Margin analysis

Each billing group’s charged amount (what the accounts within the billing group see), actual costs, and margin (the difference between those two values) is designed to be available for review on a billing period by billing period basis.
