In Abiquo 6.1+ we recommend that you use the billing for backups per GB feature, where you can set a price on the main datacenter Resource prices tab. |
...
The platform can bill backups with a monthly fixed cost per policy and/or a separate cost for backup size.With price per GB. To activate billing for this feature, in Configuration view for on-premise billing, select the Backup policy usage.
For the backup price (GB) for the per GB of a backup policy, the platform uses the VM disk size in GB in the platform to calculate the bill.
For example, a customer uses a backup policy with a price of $20 and a price per GB of $1. For a VM with 50 GB of hard disk, and non-expired backups with a size of 42 GB, the customer would pay $20 + (50 * $1) = $70 per month.

When you create a pricing model, Abiquo automatically assigns the same scope as your user. The Abiquo UI does not display the scope of the pricing model
Users with pricing privileges can always display the pricing model of their own enterprise. Administrators who can switch to another enterprise can display the current pricing model of the enterprise, even if the pricing model has a different scope
To display or manage the pricing model of another enterprise in Pricing view, you must have the same scope as the creator of the pricing model
