Custom cost data

AvailableReviewed 24 August 2026

Custom cost data lets finance insert or credit amounts that never appear in a CUR or Azure export — support contracts, marketplace true-ups, agreed reallocations. This is the CloudHealth Custom Line Items job.

Provider records stay unchanged. Custom items sit beside them.

Workflow​

  1. Reconcile provider totals first — see Data freshness.
  2. Open Cost visibility → Custom cost data.
  3. Add a line item with period, amount, owner and allocation target (account or cost category).
  4. Confirm the item appears in Cost Explorer and reports for that period.

Guardrails​

  • A custom item must have an owner and a period.
  • Credits are signed amounts; they do not delete provider rows.
  • Do not use custom items to hide a failed reconciliation.
