Generate a chargeback export

Engineering produces an evidenced export for Finance to accept. See Docs authority and product state.

Generate a chargeback export for the selected tenant and billing period, then verify its export manifest.

Use the SaaS FOCUS export path. For self-hosted deployments, use the same /domains/cost/exports/focus path on your own instance host.

Steps

Role: Engineer with export access; FinOps owns allocation policy.

  1. Select the accepted period and allocation policy.
  2. Inspect coverage, unknown spend, and the 0.80 chargeback confidence floor.
  3. Generate the chargeback-eligible export.
  4. Verify the manifest, record count, period, policy version, and checksum.
  5. Record the export ID, the export version, and the manifest checksum of the export you verified, and hand those 3 values to the Finance approver. Finance opens that exact export by its export ID and generates no export of its own, so the artifact Finance accepts is the artifact you verified.

Success evidence

The export and manifest are complete, reproducible, scoped to the selected period, and marked chargeback-eligible for Finance review. The handoff names the export ID, version, and manifest checksum of that export, and Finance reviews the same 3 values in Accept a chargeback export.

Recovery

Resolve failed eligibility, missing evidence, or manifest mismatches at the named source or mapping step. Generate a new version; do not alter an accepted artifact in place. A replacement version carries its own version and checksum, so hand its export ID, version, and checksum to Finance as a new handoff. Finance reviews the replacement from the start; a review of an earlier version does not carry over to it.
