AWS Organizations support

The FOCUS 1.0 with AWS columns (preview) table inherits the settings you made in the consolidated billing feature in AWS Organizations. When consolidated billing is enabled, there are different behaviors for management and member accounts. If you’re using a management account, your FOCUS 1.0 with AWS columns (preview) table includes cost and usage data for the management account and all member accounts in your organization. If you’re using a member account, your FOCUS 1.0 with AWS columns (preview) table only includes cost and usage data for that member account.

After joining an organization, a member account can only export data for the time that the account has been a member of the organization. For example, let's say that a member account leaves organization A and joins organization B on the 15th of the month. Then, the member account creates an export. Because the member account created an export after joining organization B, the member account’s export of FOCUS 1.0 with AWS columns (preview) for the month only includes cost and usage data for the time that the account has been a member of organization B.
