What it is
Billing Period Status represents the state of the billing period (i.e., "Open" or "Closed"). This status helps FinOps practitioners determine if the Cost and Usage and Invoice Detail data for a given period is preliminary and subject to change, or if all anticipated invoices have been issued and the delivered data is finalized and ready for formal financial reporting and showback/chargeback processes.
Allowed values
| Open | The billing period is currently active or still being processed. Records may continue to be added or revised. |
| Closed | The billing period has ended, all anticipated invoices have been issued, and the delivered data is finalized. |
