Budget

Feature Overview

Budget helps you plan, monitor, and manage cloud costs.

You can create multiple budgets and set reminders based on them to track and understand budget execution in a timely manner.

Instructions

Create Budget

You can create multiple budgets to achieve budget control in different business scenarios.

Set Budget Name: The budget name must be unique.

Set Budget Scope: Define the scope of the budget control by setting filters (e.g., account, product, etc.) as needed.

Set Budget Information

Budget Cycle: Optional month/quarter/year, data resets at 0:00 on the first day of the month/quarter/year based on natural day rules

Start and End Time: The overall time range covered by the budget, within which multiple budget cycles can exist (set according to the budget cycle)

Budget Plan: Optional fixed amount within the budget cycle or different amounts

Budget Amount: The budget amount within one budget cycle; when selecting a fixed amount, the budget amount remains the same each month/quarter/year; when planning by month/quarter/year, different budget amounts can be filled in for each budget cycle

Set Reminders

Based on the created budget, set reminders to facilitate understanding and tracking of budget execution.

Set Reminder Thresholds: Multiple reminder thresholds can be set based on the actual payable amount of generated bills

By Budget Ratio: Triggers a reminder when the budget amount reaches a certain ratio

By Fixed Amount: Triggers a reminder when a fixed amount is reached

Set Reminder Message Recipients: Choose the recipients and delivery methods for reminder messages when triggered

Note: You can manage recipient information in the Message Center - Recipient Management. Recipient information in budget reminders will be updated on T+1 after modifications.

View Budget Details

View detailed budget execution, including budget amount, actual bill payable, variance, and budget achievement ratio within the full budget cycle.

You can choose to re-edit the budget's related information (budget scope, reminder thresholds, etc.), and the budget data will be reset (updated on T+1).

Rules and Notes

Each user can create up to 100 budgets.

Budget monitoring is performed hourly, so when you receive a budget reminder, actual costs may have already exceeded the budget. Plan your budget wisely.

The same message recipient can receive up to 30 reminders per day.

Between two monitoring sessions, if your bill payable reaches multiple reminder thresholds simultaneously, only one reminder message will be triggered based on the highest threshold.

If a user adjusts the reminder threshold, a reminder message will only be triggered when the amount reaches the new threshold again.
