FOCUS column
SkuPriceId
The identifier of the specific price applied to the SKU on this row, which can vary within one SKU by pricing tier, term or agreement. Where SkuId says what was bought, SkuPriceId says at which of its prices, and the two together locate the row in the provider’s price list exactly.
Example
The same storage SKU carries different SkuPriceIds for the first 50 terabytes and for usage above it, reflecting tiered pricing.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds SkuPriceId 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 | SkuPriceId | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | SkuPriceId | 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 uses the price id to validate cost against the price list and to explain a cost change that came from a tier boundary rather than usage.
