8 In the Fixed Costs tab, select the required fixed cost from the Apply a Fixed Cost drop-down menu and

click Add to the list.

The fixed cost is added to the list of fixed costs displayed in the table. For each fixed cost that you want

to include, repeat this step.

If you have selected a cost template, the fixed costs included in the cost template and on which you have

read privilege are added to the list of fixed costs to be applied on the selected entity. You can add more

fixed costs to this list or remove existing fixed costs from the list.

9 (Optional) To apply an added fixed cost to the immediate child entities of the selected entity, select the

corresponding check box in the Distribute column of the table.

If the check box is selected, the fixed cost is applied to each of the child entities of the selected entity.

However, this cost will not be applied to the selected entity. When a cost report is generated, the fixed

costs on the child entities will be rolled-up to the parent entity.

10 Click Update Fixed Costs to set the added fixed costs on the entity.

When you click Update Fixed Costs, only the fixed costs added are set on the entity. No other cost

configuration is set.

11 Select the Enable/Disable Billing tab to configure the billing status.

Option Description

Enable (default)

This option enables billing on the entity for the specified time period. You

can use this option if billing was earlier disabled on the entity for the specified

time period.

Disable

Select this option if you want to disable billing on the entity for the specified

time period.

12 Click Update Billing.

When you click Update Billing, only the defined billing status is set on the entity. No other cost

configuration is set.

The cost configuration details are set on the entity for the selected duration and cost model.

What to do next

You must repeat this procedure for each cost model that you want to configure on the entity.

Physical Infrastructure Costing

With vCenter Chargeback 1.5, you can define rate factors also at the host and cluster levels. You can do this

from the Edit Infrastructure Cost page of the Configure Cost tab.

When you generate a report on a chargeback hierarchical entity or a chargeback hierarchy, vCenter Chargeback

checks whether any entity-specific cost configuration is set on the entity or the entities in the hierarchy for the

selected cost model. If the entity-specific cost configuration details are specified, vCenter Chargeback uses

these details and generates the report.

If no entity-specific cost configuration details are available for the selected cost model, vCenter Chargeback

checks whether any rate factors are set at the host and cluster levels for the virtual machines on which reports

are being generated. If rate factors are set at these levels for the selected cost model, then vCenter Chargeback

uses the rate factors when calculating the costs and generating the report.
