Budgets¶
Budgets provide insight into spending across entire accounts, allowing users to create and plan a budget scoped to their account, clouds, tenants, users, or groups.
Creating A Budget¶
Navigate to
Operations > Costing > Budgets
Create a new budget and enter in the following:
Name
Description
Scope: Here you can choose which construct this budget is tied to (Account, Tenant, Cloud, Group, or User)

Multi-year Budgets¶
Some organizations may need to create multi-year budgets or may need to set a fiscal year period. By default, annual budgets are tied to a calendar year (January - December) but Morpheus offers the flexibility of setting a fiscal year period when needed. When selecting a value from the YEAR dropdown in the add/edit budget modal, select “Custom” rather than one of the discreet years from the list. After selecting Custom, START DATE and END DATE fields allow the user to input any desired fiscal year period. Users can enter a period of up to three years using the start and end date bookends. The entered period must be one, two or three full years, partial years are not permitted.
In the example below, I’ve created a three-year budget:

Cloud Budgets¶
If you scope a budget to a cloud visit the cloud summary page in Infrastructure > Clouds > Select Cloud > Summary

To edit the budget just select EDIT
