SKU Price Details

The SKU Price Details column represents a list of relevant properties shared by all charges with the same SKU Price ID. These properties provide qualitative and quantitative details about the service represented by a SKU Price ID. This can enable practitioners to calculate metrics such as total units of a service when it is not directly billed in those units (e.g. cores) and thus enables FinOps capabilities such as unit economics. These properties can also help a practitioner understand the specifics of a SKU Price ID and differentiate it other SKU Price IDs.

The SkuPriceDetails column adheres to the following requirements:

• The SkuPriceDetails column MUST be in KeyValueFormat.
• The key for a property SHOULD be formatted in PascalCase.
• The properties (both keys and values) contained in the SkuPriceDetails column MUST be shared across all charges having the same SkuPriceId, subject to the below provisions.
  • Additional properties (key-value pairs) MAY be added to SkuPriceDetails going forward for a given SkuPriceId.
  • Properties SHOULD NOT be removed from SkuPriceDetails for a given SkuPriceId, once they have been included.
  • Individual properties (key-value pairs) SHOULD NOT be modified for a given SkuPriceId and SHOULD remain consistent over time.
• The key for a property SHOULD remain consistent across comparable SKUs having that property and the values for this key SHOULD remain in a consistent format.
• The SkuPriceDetails column MUST NOT contain properties which are not applicable to the corresponding SkuPriceId.
• The SkuPriceDetails column MAY contain properties which are already captured in other dedicated columns.
• If a property has a numeric value, it MUST represent the value for a single PricingUnit.
• The SkuPriceDetails column MUST be present in a FOCUS dataset when the provider includes a SkuPriceId.
  • The SkuPriceDetails column MAY be null when SkuPriceId is not null.
  • The SkuPriceDetails column MUST be null when SkuPriceId is null.
