15.4.3 How to Charge for Resources
Resources can be charged by a fixed rate or by the amount used. With fixed charging, the usage charges are charged according to a fixed
fee rather than the usage time of the resources. With charging by the amount used, the usage charges are charged according to the usage
time of the resources.
Unit codes for the charge information are used when charging. Fixed charging is used when either year or month is specified as the unit
code. Charging by amount is used when hour is specified as the unit code.
The following table shows the relationships between the unit code specified in the charge information, the charging method, and the
calculation of a month's usage charges:
Unit codes charging method Usage charges for one month
year Fixed charging Unit price / 12 (months)
month Fixed charging Unit price
hour Charge by amount Unit price / 60 (minutes) x usage time (minutes) x amount used
Point
The unit price, unit code, and 1 month's usage charges for each resource specified in the charge information are displayed as usage charge
information for each month from the ROR console Accounting tab to Usage Charge Detail window.
Refer to "12.3 Usage Charge Detail" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators CE" for information about the Usage Charge
Detail window. Also, tenant administrators can refer to the same information. Refer to "11.2 Usage Charge Detail" in the "User's Guide
for Tenant Administrators CE" for information about the Usage Charge Detail window viewable by tenant administrators.
15.4.4 Resource Usage Amounts and Times
If charging by amount is to be used for resources, the usage charge is determined by the amount of resources used and the time they are
used for.
The following table shows the relationship between the product categories for each resource, the amount of resources used, and the usage
time:
Resource Product category Resource usage amount Usage time
