Manage cost periods in Generic SaaS

Learn how to add and delete cost periods for SaaS subscriptions in SAM Core on Snow Atlas.

Add cost periods​

A cost period is valid until a new cost period is added. Hence, if the cost for a license or a subscription plan changes, a new cost period must be added. It is possible to add both older and future cost periods. However, it is only possible to add an old cost period if there is imported user data for this period.

  1. On the SAM Core menu, under Applications, select Generic SaaS.

  2. On the Total monthly cost tab, and in the SaaS service providers table, select the applicable service provider.

  3. On the Total monthly cost tab for the service provider, and in the SaaS service providers table, select the subscription type to which you want to add a cost period.

  4. On the Total monthly cost tab for the subscription type, select Edit cost periods.
