FOCUS column
PricingCurrency
The ISO 4217 code of the currency the provider’s price list is expressed in, which can differ from the billing currency when an organization is billed in a local currency against a price list in another. The pricing-currency cost and unit-price columns are in this currency.
Example
An Azure customer billed in GBP against a USD price list carries GBP in BillingCurrency and USD in PricingCurrency.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds PricingCurrency 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 | PricingCurrency | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | PricingCurrency | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (actual cost) | PricingCurrencyCode | as is |
| Azure Cost Details (amortized cost) | PricingCurrencyCode | as is |
| Google Cloud detailed billing export | Not carried | — |
How Runcost uses it
Runcost keeps both currencies so unit prices can be compared across regions and agreements at the price-list level.
