What it is
Allocated Method Details provides information about how resources are allocated when usage records are split to support cost allocation requirements. Allocated Method Details consists of a valid JSON object which contains an array consisting of key-value objects describing the one or more factors that determined the split cost allocation. Each object consists of FOCUS-defined property keys but can be extended to provide additional details about the allocation.
