FOCUS column
InvoiceId
The identifier of the invoice the charge was billed on, as issued by the invoice issuer. It ties cost rows to the document finance actually receives and pays, which is what a reconciliation and an audit trail need when a billing period produces more than one invoice.
Example
A billing period with a main invoice and a separate marketplace invoice shows two different ids across its rows.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds InvoiceId 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.
| Export | Source column | Transform |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Data Exports, FOCUS | InvoiceId | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | InvoiceId | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (actual cost) | Not carried | — |
| Azure Cost Details (amortized cost) | Not carried | — |
| Google Cloud detailed billing export | Not carried | — |
How Runcost uses it
Runcost reconciles to each invoice id, so a period with several invoices still ties out document by document.
