Display Azure billing data

To display Azure billing data for resellers and their customers:

1. Abiquo can obtain Azure billing data with the credentials you enter when you configure Abiquo to:

   1. Create a reseller with CSP pricing credentials; OR

   2. Create an enterprise with compute or billing only credentials, with a Contributor role.
      See Onboard an Azure CSP or AWS organization account.

2. Edit the CSP reseller enterprise and set the following enterprise properties:

   1. azurecompute-arm_discount: decimal value (with dot separator), used to calculate the user invoice for billing dashboard. CSP APIs return prices with a discount applied, which we remove to display for customers. We use the formula: total = TotalFromCSP/(1 -  azurecompute-arm_discount. This is a required property

   2. azurecompute-arm_currency_code: The default is USD. Three character currency code of the bill. Warning - this is different from currency_code used for conversion factor. This is a required property

   3. billing.azure.country_code: Two digit ISO code representing the country where you purchased the subscription. The default of US is set in abiquo.properties on Remote Services as abiquo.billing.azure.country_code.

3. Optionally, configure price factors for markups. See Manage price factors

4. Edit reseller customer enterprises and add this enterprise property:

   1. azurecompute-arm_discount: Decimal value (with dot separator), used to calculate the user invoice for billing dashboard.

5. If the customer enterprise has Azure plans, they may have a keynode enterprise and several standard enterprises below it to use the plans credentials. Edit the standard enterprises and add this property.

   1. azurecompute-arm_only_bill_subscription: If this property is true, for an Azure plan, only bill for usage - do not include the customer's products and services in the billing data for this enterprise.
