Map cost ownership

Map provider billing dimensions to the teams, projects, and cost centers that will own attributed cost. See Docs authority & product state.

Execute this step in SaaS guided setup. For self-hosted deployments, use the same /domains/adoption/onboarding path on your own instance host.

Steps

Role: Engineer to configure source mapping; FinOps to approve allocation dimensions.

1. Select the provider account, project, subscription, or billing scope.
2. Map stable provider dimensions to the organization hierarchy.
3. Preview precedence, conflicts, coverage, and unknown values.
4. Save the mapping only after FinOps confirms the allocation target.

Do not map missing evidence to a default owner. Unknown spend remains visible and ineligible for automatic chargeback until evidence supports allocation.

Success evidence

The cost mapping preview shows the covered amount, explicit unknown amount, conflicts, effective period, and destination cost center for every accepted rule.

Recovery

Correct the provider dimension or effective period, resolve overlapping rules, and rerun the preview. If ownership is still unknown, leave it unknown and fix the upstream evidence source.
