Compare the bill with the right pricing basis.
Provider ActualCost is the amount billed after applicable pricing and discounts. Catalog list pricing is separate context; a configured discount is not applied again to net actual cost.
Net and list pricing- Period and scope
- Compare included subscriptions over matching billing dates. Current partial periods remain provisional.
- Retained charges
- A billed resource can be absent from current inventory. Its charge remains in financial reconciliation.
- Collection gaps
- Missing collection is different from a successful empty result. The sample contains six months; September has itemized resource detail.
- Current context
- Configuration and owner mappings describe available context. They do not certify past attachment or responsibility.
