Resources can be charged by a fixed rate or by the amount used. With fixed charging, the usage charges are charged according to a fixed fee rather than the usage time of the resources. With charging by the amount used, the usage charges are charged according to the usage time of the resources.
Unit codes for the charge information are used when charging. Fixed charging is used when either year or month is specified as the unit code. Charging by amount is used when hour is specified as the unit code.
The following table shows the relationships between the unit code specified in the charge information, the charging method, and the calculation of a month's usage charges:
Unit codes | charging method | Usage charges for one month |
|---|---|---|
year | Fixed charging | Unit price / 12 (months) |
month | Fixed charging | Unit price |
hour | Charge by amount | Unit price / 60 (minutes) x usage time (minutes) x amount used |
Point
The unit price, unit code, and 1 month's usage charges for each resource specified in the charge information are displayed as usage charge information for each month from the ROR console Accounting tab to Usage Charge Detail window.
