Abiquo 6.1 adds new cost code types and units. This feature enables administrators to use cost codes for custom billing usages. In previous versions, administrators defined queries and names in billing properties. The new types of extra charges with cost codes are Enterprise products and Custom services. The new cost code units are One time charges and Subscriptions. |
Enterprise products
Abiquo 6.1 introduces a new type of cost code to enable you to charge for Enterprise products.

You can also allow administrators to edit the products for their enterprise from the user icon menu option (as for enterprise credentials).

One time charges
Abiquo 6.1 introduces a new one time unit for Extra charges with cost codes. Abiquo billing will charge the full price for this cost code when it applies.
...
For example, if you deploy a VM, then undeploy it, and then deploy it again, the platform will charge the one-time cost code price for each deploy (in this example 2 times)

Subscription cost code unit
The new subscription unit for VM cost codes will create a monthly charge on the first day of the month.

Previously the subscription was available for custom queries only, e.g. a cost code of type custom service for SQL server licenses.
Custom service cost code type
In Abiquo 6.1, the Custom service cost code type will apply to custom queries in the old Abiquo billing integration only. It is not assigned to any entities in Abiquo and it is not billed in on-premise billing.
