FOCUS column
PricingQuantity
The quantity of the pricing unit the charge was priced on, which can differ from the consumed quantity when the provider prices in a different unit or in tiers. It is the number the unit price is multiplied by, so PricingQuantity times the unit price gives the cost at that price level.
Example
Storage consumed as 1,536 gigabyte-hours may be priced as 2.1 gigabyte-months, with 2.1 in PricingQuantity and the hours in ConsumedQuantity.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds PricingQuantity 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 | PricingQuantity | cast to decimal |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | PricingQuantity | cast to decimal |
| 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 validates that quantity times unit price agrees with the cost columns during ingestion, and reports the mismatch when a provider’s export disagrees with itself.
