Managed costs with price factors

Abiquo price factors let resellers charge managed costs as a percentage of customer cloud provider charges. These price factors were introduced in Abiquo 6.1.2 for AWS and in Abiquo 6.1 for Azure.

Using Abiquo, for AWS you can include managed costs as a percentage of the customer’s bill by creating a price factor for the Managed bill type. You can create this at the level of the reseller, key node, or customer standard enterprise.

After the platform applies the standard provider price factor, it will calculate the managed cost with the managed price factor.

For example, if Amazon price factor = 1.2 and Managed price factor = 0.3 and we run billing for an account that has a total cost of $125.70, then the managed cost will be $45, which the platform calculates as follows:

In Abiquo, for Azure the managed cost will be a percentage of the Azure plans cost, as defined by the price factor of type Managed. The platform will apply the provider price factor and calculate the managed cost with the managed price factor.

For example, if Azure price factor = 1.1 and Managed price factor = 0.4 and we run billing for an account that has a total Azure plans cost of $110.30 for usage line items, then the managed cost will be $48.53, which the platform calculates as follows:
