Introduction to pricing

You can also onboard price lists from public cloud providers with pricing credentials and incorporate them into pricing models. Customers can obtain estimates for their virtual appliances from the pricing system. The platform's accounting system meters the resource usage of each tenant. The platform's billing system enables you to charge customers for all their cloud usage with one bill based on pricing and accounting. The platform also enables reseller pricing within a tenant hierarchy. 

For each datacenter, you can set separate prices, and use different currencies, and you can set cost codes for resources, such as VM image templates.

1. Enter currencies
2. Create cost codes
3. Create the pricing model
4. Assign the model to an enterprise
