Generate a chargeback export

Engineering produces an evidenced export for Finance to accept. See Docs authority & product state.

Run the documented chargeback export happy path on a clean tenant and verify the generated export manifest.

Use the SaaS FOCUS export path. For self-hosted deployments, use the same /domains/cost/exports/focus path on your own instance host.

Steps

Role: Engineer with export access; FinOps owns allocation policy.

1. Select the accepted period and allocation policy.
2. Inspect coverage, unknown spend, and the 0.80 chargeback confidence floor.
3. Generate the chargeback-eligible export.
4. Verify the manifest, record count, period, policy version, and checksum.

Success evidence

The export and manifest are complete, reproducible, scoped to the selected period, and marked chargeback-eligible for Finance review.

Recovery

Resolve failed eligibility, missing evidence, or manifest mismatches at the named source or mapping step. Generate a new version; do not alter an accepted artifact in place.
