Creating a percentage charge custom line item

Use the following steps to create a custom line item that applies either a credit or fee line item to an individual billing group.

To create a custom line item

1. Open AWS Billing Conductor at https://console.aws.amazon.com/billingconductor/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Custom line items.

3. Choose Create custom line item.

4. For Custom line item details, enter the name of the custom line item. For naming restrictions, see Quotas and restrictions.

5. For Description, enter a description for the custom line item. The character limit is 255.

6. For Billing period, choose either the existing billing period or the previous billing period.

7. For Duration, choose either one month or recurring (no defined end date).

8. For Billing group, choose a billing group. You can only associate the custom charge to one billing group at a time.

   1. (Optional) For Allocated account, you can apply your custom line item to a billing group account of your choice. Your custom line item is applied to the primary account of the billing group of your choice by default.

9. Choose percentage charge for your custom line item type.

10. Choose a charge type and enter an input amount.

    A discount line item adds a credit. This reduces the amount that's charged to the selected billing group. A markup line item adds a charge. This increases the amount that's charged to the selected billing group. All custom line items are in USD.

11. (Optional) For Resource values, choose the values to include in the calculation. By default, the billing group total cost is selected as a resource. This excludes all flat custom line items.

    • (Optional) By default, Savings Plan discounts are included. To exclude them from the calculation, select the Exclude Savings Plan discounts check box.

12. (Optional) Include one of more flat custom line item. Choose each applicable flat custom line item from the table that you want included in the percentage-based calculation.

    Note

    You can create percentage custom line items with no associated resources. These custom line items show a $0.00 value in your billing data.

13. Choose Create.
