AWS announces enhanced custom line item controls for AWS Billing Conductor

Starting today, AWS Billing Conductor customers gain greater flexibility when using custom line items.

Customers can now create service-specific custom line items scoped at either one AWS service or to a set of selected AWS service and can choose how these line items are presented in the pro forma billing artifacts, such as Bills Page, Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage Records.

These enhancements enable customers to create more precise and tailored charge-back and re-billing strategies that better reflect their pricing structures and improve the traceability experience for pro forma users. Customers can use this functionality to apply percentage discounts on Saving Plans fees or allocate shared flat support charges under AWS Support service. Service specific custom line items are available for standard billing group regardless of the type of pricing plan selected, and for billing-transfer billing groups exclusively when customer-managed pricing plans are selected.

To start, use AWS Billing Conductor console or APIs, create a custom line item and specify the cost reference value (one or multiple AWS services) and the display setting options (itemized or consolidated under your service of choice). To learn more about custom line items visit AWS Billing Conductor documentation.

This feature is available now in all AWS commercial Regions, excluding AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
