Cost Amortization

• Cost splitting

  Your cloud services may be shared by multiple domain names and IP addresses. When cost splitting is enabled, the costs will be split to each domain name or IP address and will be grouped by cost tag or enterprise project for a specific domain name or IP address. For details, see Enabling Cost Splitting.

  

  • Once enabled, cost splitting cannot be disabled.
  • When cost splitting is enabled, you can go to the Cost Analysis page to view the splitting results of amortized costs after the 5th day of the following month.
