Reconciliation Guidance

Reconciliation is to check the consistency between the bills created by HUAWEI CLOUD and the bills recorded by your company, so as to check whether your resource purchase and usage are consistent with the actual expenditures of your account. If you have any doubts about the bill, contact the HUAWEI CLOUD customer service by submitting a service ticket. If the bill provided by HUAWEI CLOUD has any errors, HUAWEI CLOUD will rectify them.

Bill Types

Summary bill: You can obtain it on the Billing Center > Bills > Dashboard page. A summary bill presents your summarized and cloud service–specific expenditures and unsubscriptions for a month. Summary bills are summarized from data on the Billing Center > Bills > Expenditure Items page.

Transaction bill: You can view transaction bills by month and obtain them on the Billing Center > Bills > Expenditure Items page.

Accuracy of Fee Deduction

HUAWEI CLOUD bills the pay-per-use product with the fee accurate to eight decimal places (for example, $10.12501236 USD). Fees for pay-per-use expenditures are deducted together on the third day of the next month, accurate to two decimal places. For example, if the total pay-per-use expenditure amount is $100.12501236 USD, the actual fee charged is $100.12 USD.

Reconciliation Procedure

If you want to learn about your expenditures of the last month or your company needs account reconciliation, perform the following steps. Adjust the involved parameters as needed.

  1. Check the summary information.

    On the Dashboard page, export the summary bill. In the Billing Overview area, you can see your monthly total fee and compare it with your expenditures displayed on Huawei Cloud. In the Expenditures and Unsubscriptions areas, you can see the used amount of cash coupons.

  2. Check whether the summary bill is consistent with the transaction bill.

    • You can view the total amount due on the Billing Center > Bills > Dashboard page.

    • You can export the transaction bill on the Billing Center > Bills > Cost Bill > Transaction Bills page and view the total amount due.
