FOCUS column
SubAccountType
The provider’s term for what kind of entity the sub-account is, such as an account, a subscription or a project. As with the billing account type it is provider-specific, and it exists so a multi-provider dataset can say what each SubAccountId refers to without a lookup.
Example
A mixed dataset shows “Account” on AWS rows, “Subscription” on Azure rows and “Project” on Google Cloud rows.
Where it comes from, per export
The export column that feeds SubAccountType 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 | SubAccountType | as is |
| Azure Cost Management, FOCUS export | SubAccountType | 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
