Can you set up a budget and use amortized costs instead of actuals to monitor?

    Hello @Cody Cleveland ,

    Happy to help but you may need to elaborate.

    While ACM supports switching to the amortized cost view to break down reservation purchases into daily chunks distributed over the duration of the reservation term, using it to monitor budget & forcasting isn't supported (assuming this is what you are asking)

    Perhaps a better understanding of your business scenario driving the need for budgeting with amortized costs instead of actual costs will help us provide better guidance. Dont hesitate to clarify or elaborate on your question if this is not what you need.

    FYI, you can always share your feature ideas and up-vote the Cost Management feedback forum.

    Thanks for the response. I believe you answered the question. We cannot used amortized costs instead o actual costs when creating budget alerts?
