The Projected Cost dashboard is a management tool that lets you anticipate
future SKU costs for your invoices. You can filter the dashboard to view a
custom projection cost of a given SKU through the
task order (TO), contract line item number (CLIN), and month.
To get the permissions that you need to view the Projected Cost dashboard, ask
your Organization IAM Admin to grant you the corresponding project viewer role
for the platform-obs project.
To access the Projected Cost dashboard in the GDC console, work
through the following steps:
Sign in to the GDC console.
In the navigation menu, select Billing > Reports. The Billing
reports page opens.
In the Cost projection section, click View in Dashboard to open
the Invoice dashboard.
The Projected Cost dashboard provides the unique values to view your future
costs through the Projected Cost Table. The Projected Cost Table
contains the following columns:
Column
Description
SKU
The resource ID and description.
Projected Total
The projected total for each line item SKU.
Projected Total Cost (USD)
The cumulative projected total cost in USD of all SKUs that appear in the dashboard.
To filter the values in the Projected Cost Table, select the following
items in the menu bar:
SKU: a drop-down that lets you select which SKU to view. This drop-down
defaults to All.
Task Order - CLIN: a drop-down that lets you select a specific task order
and contract line item number to view. This drop-down defaults to All.
Months: an input field to add the amount of months you want to view. For
example, 1 displays one month of the cost of a given SKU, while 2
shows a value of two months.
After you select your unique values in the menu bar, you see the Projected Cost
dashboard update to the future costs of a collection of SKUs.
