Rebilling is a way to manage billing operations for your Google Cloud
customers. The rebilling system assigns Google Cloud product costs to a customer
or channel partner and applies a repricing configuration to adjust the final
cost. Rebilling also lets partners export their customer data to a
BigQuery dataset that they own.
You can export a comprehensive report of your customers' billing usage and cost
data to a BigQuery dataset that you own. Since this report
includes customer and channel partner costs, along with customer metadata and
cost configured using Repricing configurations, you can use
the exported data to improve your internal billing processes and financial
analytics.
We brought improvements to the data export experience for partners originally
integrated with Cloud Billing data export. Benefits of migrating
include:
Expanded data coverage: Channel Services data exports billing data for
both Google Cloud and Google Workspace.
Centralized data management: Channel Services data exports centralize
billing data across parent billing accounts and product families, making it
easier to manage and analyze.
Channel Services-specific columns: Channel Services data exports contain
additional columns that map to
Partner Sales Console
entities, such as resource names of customers and entitlements, or CRM IDs.
This makes it easier to integrate with Channel Services APIs and your own
CRM system.
Optimized queries: Channel Services data exports use the
payer_billing_account_id as the
clustering column, so queries for one
parent billing account are optimized to reduce the cost of querying data
data.
Support for Repricing: You can use repricing to
take advantage of partner incentives by configuring pricing adjustments for
your customers. You can then use the exported data to provide
customer-facing invoicing or cost management interfaces, such as via a
Looker Studio
dashboard.
Repricing configurations let you adjust the final product costs for your
customers and channel partners. You can create and schedule repricing
configurations through the
Partner Sales Console
. For developer integration of repricing, you can use the
Cloud Channel API.
The following image shows an example of a customer's overview with custom
repricing configurations.
While viewing the list of repricing configurations for a customer, you can click
Manage repricing to view and modify the configurations for a specific
entitlement.
You can see an example of custom configurations in the following screenshot.
Adjustments made in a repricing configuration can affect your own set costs or
Google's published rates for a defined billing period (in months). You can also
schedule configurations for a specific customer or channel partner in advance to
ease your financial planning operations.
