Support for multiple Google Cloud billing accounts in the same Flexera Org

Note:This feature is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.

Additional support around Google Cloud Platform (GCP) accounts are now added in the Flexera Cloud Cost Optimization platform.

Google Cloud Platform allows customers to enable BigQuery billing export for multiple billing accounts. In addition, Google can issue new billing accounts when changes occur to how customers are billed.

In the Flexera Cloud Cost Optimization platform, population of the Bill Source dimension has now changed, as follows:

Changed From	Changed To
google-<projectID>	gcp-<billingAccountID>-<unique-32-characters>

The following provides an example of this change:

Changed From	Changed To
google-myProj	gcp-012345-678901-ABCDEF-abc123def456abc123def456abc123de

This allows for on-boarding billing data from multiple Google Cloud Platform billing accounts into the same Flexera organization, even when the actual billing datasets are in the same Google project.

To achieve this within Flexera One, navigate to Administration > Cloud Settings > Settings, and then on the Billing Configuration tab click the ADD A CLOUD BILL button.
