Run Report Builder

Using the Report Builder, you can view the following reports for chargeback:

• Get Server Costs By Cost Center

  This report provides information about the server costs by cost center per annum. The report details about the reservations that are made by Service Consumers for their cost center and the costs that are incurred for each reservation.

• Get VM Reservations By Cost Center

  This report provides information about the reservations that are made through a cost center in a particular month.

• Get VM Reservations For Month

  This report provides information about the reservations that are newly added and returned in a particular month.

  Note: Before you generate a report, generate an invoice-on-demand.

The following chargeback reports display the same information as the above reports but get the details from Reservation Manager:

• Get Server Costs By Cost Center - SSRM
• Get VM Reservations By Cost Center - SSRM
• Get VM Reservations For Month - SSRM
