You can create cost centers to attribute usage and spending to business units, improving accountability, forecasting, and cost allocation.
If your account is billed through Azure, you can add an Azure subscription to a cost center to bill usage to a different Azure subscription than the enterprise default.
To get started with cost centers, see Utilisation des centres de coûts pour allouer les coûts aux unités commerciales.
Cost center allocation
To allocate spending to a cost center, you add repositories, organizations, or users to the cost center. Any usage that is not assigned to a specific cost center is categorized as "Enterprise Only" spending on your enterprise's "Usage" page.
- For metered products like GitHub Actions, cost centers are charged based on the repositories or organizations in the cost center, as this is where the usage takes place.
- For license-based products like GitHub Copilot, cost centers are charged based on the users in the cost center. If a licensed user isn't assigned to a cost center, costs for the license either default to "Enterprise Only" spending or are assigned to a cost center based on the user's organization membership. This depends on the product.
