How to Assign or Remove a Default Price Sheet for a Selected Cloud

After Service Manager has discovered cloud objects from the Operations Manager CI connector, you can assign an existing price sheet that applies default price values to all the resources of the cloud. This process is useful when you have many virtual machines so that you do not have to define prices for all the individual virtual machine parts. Once the default price sheet is assigned to a cloud, you can override the default values, on a per-user basis. For more information about overriding default prices, see How to Override a Default Price Sheet for a Specific VMM User Role.

To assign a default price sheet to a selected cloud

  1. In the Service Manager console, select Administration.

  2. In the Administration pane, expand Chargeback, expand Clouds, and then select All Clouds.

  3. In the list of clouds, select one that you want to assign a price sheet to and then under Tasks, click Assign Price Sheet.

  4. In <CloudName> form under Default Cloud Price Sheet, in the Action column, click Assign Price Sheet.

    Note


    If a cloud previously had a price sheet assigned, then assigning a new one automatically unassigns the price sheet that was used previously.

  5. In the Select objects dialog box, select a price sheet that you want to assign and then click OK.

  6. Click OK to close the <CloudName> form.

    Note


    If a cloud does not have a price sheet assigned, all virtual machines in the cloud will have a price of zero in chargeback reports.
