FOCUS column

InvoiceDetailId

The identifier of the line within the invoice that the charge belongs to, as carried in the platform’s FOCUS 1.4 contract. It lets many detailed usage rows be traced to the single invoice line they roll up into. Consult the FOCUS specification for the normative definition of this later-release column.

Example

Hundreds of hourly compute rows for one service in one region roll up to one invoice line, and each carries that line’s id.

Where it comes from, per export

The export column that feeds InvoiceDetailId in each format the platform ingests, and the transform applied. A format with no row does not carry the column; the value is then absent rather than guessed.

How Runcost uses it

Runcost uses invoice line ids to show a finance reader exactly which detailed rows make up a line on the paper invoice.
