The Consumed Unit represents a provider-specified measurement unit indicating how a provider measures usage of a metered SKU associated with a resource or service. Consumed Unit complements the Consumed Quantity metric. It is often listed at a finer granularity or over a different time interval when compared to Pricing Unit (complementary to Pricing Quantity), and focuses on resource and service consumption, not pricing and cost.
The ConsumedUnit column adheres to the following requirements:
- ConsumedUnit MUST be present in a FOCUS dataset when the provider supports the measurement of usage.
- ConsumedUnit MUST be of type String, and the units of measure used in ConsumedUnit SHOULD adhere to the values and format requirements specified in the UnitFormat attribute.
- ConsumedUnit MUST NOT be null if ChargeCategory is "Usage", CommitmentDiscountStatus is not "Unused", and ChargeClass is not "Correction".
- ConsumedUnit MAY be null if ChargeCategory is "Usage", CommitmentDiscountStatus is not "Unused", and ChargeClass is "Correction".
- ConsumedUnit MUST be null in all other cases.
