## 6.1.1.3.5 Monitoring Usage and Consumption Costs in Your Global Account
SAP BTP cockpit supports advanced usage and cost monitoring of services in your global account. You can compare the usage and costs of multiple services and subaccounts, see monthly trends, and drill into subaccounts and service plans for detailed information.
##  Note
- The use of the consumption-based commercial model is subject to its availability in your country or region.
- If your global account uses only the subscription-based commercial model, then refer only to information described here about usage data and the Usage view. Y ou can ignore any information in this topic about costs, cloud credits, and the Billing view.
The Costs and Usage page in the cockpit provides a central and flexible experience for the following cost control flows:
- Continuously monitor and analyze the monthly usage and costs of services consumed by subaccounts and directories in your global account.
- Help you to verify your monthly billing statement against actual resource consumption.
- Help you to verify periodic cross-charges between your various business units based on subaccount and directory allocation/distribution.
Check out also the Enhancing Costs, Usage and Contract Transparency blog for more information.
## Accessing Costs and Usage for Your Global Account
To monitor and track costs and usage in your global account, open the global account in the cockpit and choose Costs and Usage in the navigation area.
##  Note
The Costs and Usage page is available only if your global account uses the consumption-based commercial model.
If your global account uses the subscription-based commercial model exclusively, then you must access the Usage page instead.
The Usage page is similar to the Costs and Usage page, except you cannot see any data relating to costs or cloud credits since your eligible services are already prepaid and you aren't charged per usage. See Using the Usage View [page 2226].
## Understanding the Views in the Costs and Usage Page
## Global Account and Contract Information
The upper area of the Costs and Usage page contains two side-by-side cards.

|                                        | Note the following: • Cloud-credit usage and cost information is displayed only for the current cloud credits period. The total contract duration is split into cloud credit periods (typically one year each) and the total cloud credits are divided between these periods. • Your cloud credit balance is calculated each month by deducting the corresponding costs of all SAP BTP services for the previous month. • If your global account has received a cloud-credit refund at any time during the current cloud credits period, you may see a difference between your total usage/costs and the monthly usage/costs in the chart. • If you've previously over-consumed your available cloud credits and then purchased additional credits, you may see a shift in your monthly cloud credits cost/usage graph from overage to within limits. This change indicates that the extra credits have bal- anced out any previous overages, and it is an expected part of managing your cloud credits usage. |
Pay attention that if your global account uses a combination of the consumption-based commercial model and the subscription-based commercial model, the card on the right shows billing and usage data that is charged solely according to the consumption-based commercial model. In other words, for services that are part of your subscription-based commercial agreement, the billing and usage data in this card applies only to consumption that exceeds your prepaid (subscription) quota. For this excess service usage, you are charged according to your contract for the consumption-based commercial model.
For example, if your subscription contract is entitled to consume a given service at a fixed cost for up to 100 unique site visits, and 151 unique site visits are registered, this card shows data relating only to the 51 visits that have exceeded the prepaid 100 visits.

## Usage
## Budgets (beta)
Shows the monthly billable service charges in your global account, based on the aggregation of your resource's actual usage.
The aggregation of usage from all your subaccounts is calculated according to the pricing structure and legally billable metric of each service, as mentioned in the SAP BTP Service Description
<!-- image -->
##  Note
This view relevant only if your global account uses a consumption-based commercial model. If your global account uses only the subscription-based commercial model, then all your eligible services and entitled quota are prepaid.
For more information about this view, see Using the Billing View [page 2222].
Shows the data representing your actual non-aggregated monthly usage for services consumed in your subaccounts within your global account.
This view applies to both the consumption-based and subscription-based commercial models.
For more information about this view, see Using the Usage View [page 2226].
In this view, you can set up budget limits for your global account so that you can better manage your global account spending and also plan for future consumption. Here you can also opt to have automatic email alerts sent to all global account administrators to notify them when spending exceeds defined budget thresholds.
For more information, see Managing Budgets in Your Global Account [page 2232].
Simplified graphic of the Billing view of the Costs and Usage page
<!-- image -->
The Costs and Usage page uses the same terms that are printed in your monthly balance statement, which facilitates better contract-to-billing traceability and verification for cost controllers. Get your latest balance statement from SAP for Me .
##  Remember
- The monthly balance statement, which is provided separately, contains legally binding information regarding your monthly costs. Details about costs on the Costs and Usage page in the cockpit are provided for informational purposes only. Any discrepancy between the information displayed in the cockpit and the information in your balance statement will be resolved in favor of the balance statement.
- Costs are displayed according to your contract currency.
- Global accounts are the only contractual billable entity for SAP BTP. Directories and subaccounts are used as structural entities in global accounts. The usage and cost data displayed for directories and subaccounts are estimations and may differ from the actual global account metrics. Hence, you should use their data only for internal cost estimations.
The relative calculation per billable usage within each subaccount is an estimation only as it is based on certain measures, which in some cases can either be different from the metrics that are presented on the global account level, or that use different formulas than the ones used for billing.
- Cloud credit information and monthly costs apply to all regions used by the subaccounts in your global account. Usage and cost data is updated after your monthly balance statement has been generated.
- Usage data is updated after your monthly balance statement has been generated. For new global accounts, data is updated with the first billing cycle.
- Prices are listed as estimates if a consumable item has not yet been billed.
- In the cost and usage charts, estimated values are used for the period between the last balance statement and the current date. These are displayed as striped bars. These estimates are based on resource usage values before computation for billing and might change
- after the next balance statement is issued. The estimated values are not projected or forecast values.
- Some SAP BTP services report their billing and usage at the global account level, and not at the subaccount level. Such services are listed in the Costs and Usage page under a reserved technical entity named REPORTED-AT-GLOBAL-ACCOUNT-LEVEL with the ID DEFAULT\_SA .
Here are some useful tips that are common to both the Billing and Usage views:

## Using the Billing View
You can use the Billing view to display, monitor, and analyze your monthly charges of billable services, which have been consumed by the subaccounts in your global account over the last 12 months.
The billing data represents the aggregation of usage and its rating, which is determined by the pricing structure of each service. You can view the bill items for previous months or the estimated charge for the current month, to monitor your consumption costs.
The parameters for charged usage can include the amount of data processed, the number of users, the duration of use, or the specific functionality or modules used by each service. The specifics of these metrics are outlined in your contract.
##  Tip
This view is available only if your global account uses a consumption-based commercial model.
In the Billing view, you can switch between the View by Service and View by Account perspectives:
## View by Service
This perspective provides an overview of your charged usage across different services and their associated plans, and is useful for verifying billing details.
Here are some useful tips for working in this perspective:
- To drill down and display more details about a particular service, click on an entry in the table or its  (View Details) button. When you drill down, a new pane opens and you can see, for example, exactly which subaccounts consume the selected service and the subtotal of charges and usage per directory and subaccount.
In this details view, subaccounts are displayed in the context of their account hierarchy. If you want to hide their directories and display the subaccounts as a flat list, choose the Show subaccounts only checkbox.
<!-- image -->
- To filter the main table for specific services, use the Service dropdown list.
- If the display is cluttered by too many service plans or account entities that have no charged usage, you can choose the Show only services with charged usage checkbox to hide them.
- To filter the main table for specific subaccounts or directories, use the Subaccounts/ Directories dropdown list.
- To view a visual chart of the monthly cost trend, cumulative costs, or breakdown of the costliest subaccounts for a specific service plan over the last 12 months, first select the service plan from the main table and then scroll down past the main table to the chart area. Then, select the chart type from the View By dropdown list that is located adjacent to the chart area.
##  Tip
These charts are useful for seeing in which months a service plan has usage and costs, which service plans have increased or decreased usage/costs over time, or the months that have the highest and lowest usage/costs per service plan.
- To view a visual chart with a summary of the costs of all service plans in your global account over the last 12 months, make sure you do not have a specific service plan selected in the main table. Then, scroll past the table to the Global Account - Cost Summary chart area. In the View By dropdown list, select a chart type; for example, List Price , Cost Breakdown by Service Plans , or Cumulative List Price .
##  Tip
In the cost breakdown chart, the 8 costliest service plans in your global account over the last 12 months are displayed. Click Show More below the chart legend to expand the chart and to view the cost breakdown of additional plans.
- To open the SAP Price List for a specific service, choose Open in SAP Price List from the service plan's  (Actions) context menu, or you can open the service plan's details view and then click SAP Price List located in the header area.
See other useful tips, such as table sorting, filtering, and searching, in the Understanding the Views in the Costs and Usage Page [page 2217] section.
## View by Account
This perspective provides an overview of your charged usage across different subaccounts and directories within your account hierarchy. It is useful for verifying cross charges within your company or organization.
Here are some useful tips for working in this perspective:
- To drill down and display more details about a particular subaccount or directory, click on an entry in the table or its  (View Details) button. When you drill down, a new pane opens and you can see, for example, exactly which plans are consumed by the selected subaccount or directory and the subtotal of the charges and usage per plan.
##  Tip
In this details view, you can use the  (Switch) button to quickly open the View by Services perspective with the specific plan selected and displaying the subaccounts that consume it.
You can also click  (Configure Table Columns) to display and hide columns.
- To filter the main table for specific subaccounts or directories, use the Subaccounts/ Directories dropdown list.
- If your account hierarchy includes directories, you can hide them and display your subaccounts as a flat list by choosing the Show only subaccounts checkbox.
- You can quickly expand or collapse the entire account hierarchy by clicking the  (Expand All) and  (Collapse All) buttons.
- To filter the main table for specific services, use the Services dropdown list.
- To view a visual chart of the monthly cost trend, cumulative costs, or breakdown of the costliest service plans for a specific subaccount or directory over the last 12 months, first select the subaccount or directory from the main table and then scroll down past the main table to the chart area. Then, select the chart type from the View By dropdown list that is located adjacent to the chart area.
##  Tip
These charts are useful for seeing in which months a subaccount or directory has usage and costs, which subaccounts or directories have increased or decreased usage/costs over time, or the months that have the highest and lowest usage/costs per subaccount or directory.
When you choose a directory, the cost information applies to all subaccounts under the directory.
- To view a visual chart with a summary of the costs of all subaccounts in your global account over the last 12 months, make sure you do not have a specific subaccount or directory selected in the main table. Then, scroll past the table to the Global Account - Cost Summary chart area.
In the View By dropdown list, select a chart type; for example, List Price , Cost Breakdown by Subaccounts , or Cumulative List Price .
##  Tip
In the cost breakdown chart, the 8 costliest subaccounts in your global account over the last 12 months are displayed. If your global account has more than 8 subaccounts, click
Show More below the chart legend to expand the chart and to view the cost breakdown of additional subaccounts.
- [INTERNAL: T2508B] To open the SAP Price List for a specific service used in a directory or subaccount, first open the details view of the directory or subaccount, then locate the service, and choose Open in SAP Price List from the service's  (Actions) context menu.
See other useful tips, such as table sorting and searching, in the Understanding the Views in the Costs and Usage Page [page 2217] section.
If your global account has subaccounts that have been deleted but have charges in the last 12 months while they were still active, they'll still be listed. Such subaccounts are marked with (deleted) after their name. If these subaccounts were originally located under a directory, you'll see them listed directly under the root global account.
If your global account uses both a subscription and a consumption-based commercial model, the Usage column shows the combined total usage of services, both subscription-based and consumption-based. Note that:
- The subscription-based consumption includes usage of services that falls within the prepaid quota that is specified in your subscription-based commercial model agreement. This part of the combined usage is shown in the Prepaid Quota column. There will be no additional billing for consumption of the services that falls within this prepaid quota.
- The consumption-based usage includes the usage of services that exceeds the prepaid subscription-based quota. This part of the combined usage is shown in the Charged Usage column. For this usage, you'll be charged based on the terms outlined in your consumption-based commercial model agreement.
## Using the Usage View
Use the Usage view to display, monitor, and analyze the distribution of the actual (also called raw) monthly usage metrics for services consumed by subaccounts in your global account over the last 12 months.
##  Note
The Usage view displays data prior to aggregation for billing and can contain metrics that will not be aggregated since they are always free or belong to free services. Hence, you may notice some discrepancies when comparing the data in the Usage view to the overall usage data shown in the Billing view. Billable usage data is aggregated at the global account level and then processed according to accounting formulas to generate your monthly billing statement.
Pay attention also to the following:
- If your global account uses only a consumption-based commercial model, such as SAP BTP Enterprise Agreement (SAP BTPEA), Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement (CPEA), and Pay-As-You-Go for SAP BTP, this view includes all usage data, including non-rated services, such as free service plans.
- If your global account uses both the consumption-based and subscription-based commercial models, this view combines all usage data, which falls under your consumption-based plans, prepaid subscription quota, and non-rated data sets, such as free service plans. You can see the distribution of charged and prepaid usage and costs in the Billing view.

## Do This...
## Estimated and Forecasted Data
In addition to actual usage that you've already been charged for, the Costs and Usage page also shows estimated and forecasted values in the cloud credits usage and cost charts:
- Estimated Data: The estimated values reflect your accrued service usage during the period between the last balance statement and the current date.
- The values are estimated because they are based on resource usage values before computation for billing and might change after the next balance statement is issued. The estimated values are not forecast values.
- Forecasted Data: In the SAP BTP Enterprise Agreement and Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement cards, we provide a Show forecast option that allows you to display a forecast of your cloud-credit costs and usage for the next 6 months or until the end of current contract period, whichever is shorter.
The forecast is based on certain assumptions and the historical data taken from your global account. To make a reliable forecast, you need to have consistent data from the recent past covering at least 9 months. If the available historical data in your global account doesn't allow for a reliable prediction, you won't be able to turn on the forecasting option.
The forecast does not include the costs and usage of the current month (since this estimated data only), nor does it take into consideration any changes to future usage patterns or costs. Additionally, you cannot turn on the forecasting when you're in the last month of the current cloud credits period.
##  Note
The forecast data provided by our software is intended for informational purposes only; however, it can you help to anticipate and plan for future usage needs and to budget accordingly.
SAP is not responsible for and cannot guarantee the accuracy or reliability of the forecast data, and it should not be considered as financial, legal, professional or any other advice. It is your responsibility to independently review and validate the forecast information before making any decisions or taking any actions based on it.
##  Note
This is a beta feature. Beta features aren't part of the officially delivered scope that SAP guarantees for future releases. For more information, see Important Disclaimers and Legal Information.
## Exporting Usage and Cost Data Information
To export your usage and cost data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet document, use the Export button menu in the upper area of the page.
##  Note
Cost information is exported only if your global account uses the consumption-based commercial information.
The Export button menu has various options depending on the period and type of data that you want to export:
- If you want to export all data for the last 12 months, click the main Export button.
- If you want to export all data for the last 12, 24, or 36 months, click the button's dropdown menu and choose the relevant period.
- If you want to export only the data that you've currently filtered in the main table for the current month or last 12, 24, or 36 months, choose Export Custom .
##  Tip
Use this option also if you want to export all your cost and usage data for the current month without considering any currently set filters. To do this, deselect the Export only filtered data checkbox in the Custom Export dialog box.
In the Custom Export dialog box, you can also choose any label names (keys) that you want to add as dedicated columns to the Subaccount Costs by Service and Actual Usage sheets (tabs) in the exported Microsoft Excel file. Start typing to list the available label names for your existing subaccounts and directories. In the exported spreadsheet, the values for each selected label name will be displayed in the in the data rows under their respective label column.
The exported document contains several sheets (tabs). The sheets that are included depend on the commercial model that is used by your global account as shown in the following table:

| CF Space Costs by Service | Allows you to view the monthly cost distribution of your service plans across the Cloud Foundry spaces in your global account.  Note This is a beta feature. Beta features aren't part of the officially delivered scope that SAP guaran- tees for future releases. For more information, see Important Disclaimers and Legal Informa- tion. To include this information in the spreadsheet, you must choose the Export cost distribution by Cloud Foundry spaces option in the Custom Export dialog box. The cost distribution in the exported spreadsheet is estimated and proportionate to the usage of each service across the Cloud Foundry spaces within a subaccount. For example, if the distribution of the total usage of a service is 20%in one space and 80%in another space within the same subaccount, the cost per space will be calculated proportionately as 20%and80%ofthe total cost of the service in that subaccount for the two spaces, respectively. When a specific service instance is used by multiple spaces in Cloud Foundry, the full cost of that service is only charged to the space where it is provisioned. So, the cost breakdown by spaces in the exported Excel file works best when the service is used in the same space it was set up in. However, you can | No                 | Yes                |
| Labels                    | Lists the user-defined labels that are assigned di- rectly to each subaccount that has usage data. Also lists the labels that are inherited by the subaccounts from their parent directories, and the IDs of those subaccounts. This sheet does not display any usage data; how- ever, you can use this information to determine us- age by label by extrapolating the subaccount usage data in the other sheets to the labels assigned to the subaccounts in this sheet.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           | Yes                | Yes                |
