    • A Price Sheet Download job downloads and stores price sheet data. The Rightsizing and Unused resources processes use price sheet data when generating recommendations.

    Avant de commencer

    Run the Discovery application on each service account.

    Role required: insights_admin [sn_clin_core.insights_admin].

    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    • You create a scheduled Price Sheet Download job for Microsoft Azure.
    • Each execution of a Price Sheet Download job runs multiple execution items. Each execution item imports and stores the price sheet for one subscription or billing profile.
    • To ensure accurate reporting and recommendations for some providers, make sure that the Discovery application runs before the scheduled execution.
    • When the scheduled time arrives, job execution happens in multiple stages (for example, connect to the provider, download the data, perform the post-import sort, and so on). The system logs status and results on the Price Sheet Executions page for each stage.
    • Cloud Cost Management version 9.0 supports price sheet download for both Azure Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) accounts.
    • Cloud Cost Management version 10.0 supports price sheet download for Microsoft Partner Agreement (MPA) accounts in addition to the Azure Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) accounts.
