3.1.4 Allocated Resource Name

The Allocated Resource Name is a display name which cost is being allocated to in a Data Generator-Calculated Split Cost Allocation. The Allocated Resource Name is used to understand what the cost is being allocated to in charges where the service provider is allocating costs to something other than the charge's ResourceID, as is the case for allocated charges.

AllocatedResourceName adheres to the following requirements:

• AllocatedResourceName MUST be present in a Cost and Usage FOCUS dataset when the service provider supports data generator-calculated split cost allocation.
• AllocatedResourceName MUST be of type String.
• AllocatedResourceName MUST conform to StringHandling requirements.
• AllocatedResourceName nullability is defined as follows:
  • AllocatedResourceName MUST be null when AllocatedResourceId is null.
  • AllocatedResourceName MUST NOT be null when AllocatedResourceId is not null.
• AllocatedResourceName MAY duplicate AllocatedResourceId when a separate display name is not applicable.

The display name of the object to which cost is allocated in data generator-calculated split cost allocation.
