This new feature will make usage data available through the Abiquo API. The data is available from the /action/list endpoint of the Cost Usage Resource. See https://wiki.abiquo.com/api/latest/CostUsageResource.html

Time zones

In the database, the time zones are stored in UTC format. The default billing period is from day 1 to the end of the month in UTC format.

Privileges

Access to the data will be controlled by the "ROLE_BILLS_MANAGE" privilege. The report for enterprises is also available to users of an enterprise with the "ROLE_BILLS_VIEW" privilege.

Additional configuration

The administrator can also configure some enterprise properties for use in the reports, as described in the following table.

These properties are updated once a month at the start of the billing period. So if you make a change during a billing period, it will take effect in the next billing period.

reseller_code	To identify a reseller in the platform
internal_customer_id	To identify an enterprise for the platform provider
currency_code	By default this is "EUR"

Accounting data

This feature retrieves and stores some data from the Abiquo Accounting system on a daily basis. This data in hours is categorized by resources.

For a list of the categories, see Abiquo accounting services integration#Descriptionofresources. To sort this table by the "Cat." column, click on the header cell.

Filters

To filter this data, you can send a "reportfilterrequestdto" object.

This request body object can contain dates to filter by. You can identify enterprises with an internal_customer_id or with links to a "reseller", "key-node" or "enterprise".
