To assign prices to resources for enterprises, create pricing models with prices for VM elements.
Before you begin
- Add your currencies at Pricing → Currencies
- Pre-create cost codes at Pricing → Cost codes to assign to resources, for example, hardware profiles or templates
To create a pricing model:
Go to Pricing → Pricing models
- To base the pricing model on your enterprise's current model, click the + add button, or
To clone a pricing model, click the copy clone button. The platform will name the new model "PricingModelName (c)".
Note: The platform will assign your user scope to the pricing model
For more details see GUI Create a new pricing model General information
Modify prices
The platform uses the first pricing model for a location in a currency as the set of base prices for the location. If your enterprise has a pricing model, when you create a new pricing model, you can enter a percentage to modify prices, for example, to add a reseller markup. If you then enter a resource price that is lower than the base price, the platform will highlight the price.

Troubleshooting
Access to pricing models
- 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
