Overlapping commitment

Overlapping commitments are commitments that share applicable charges during overlapping commitment periods.

There are two overlapping-commitment models:

  • Nested commitment: A parent-child structure in which a child commitment is associated with a parent commitment

  • Waterfall commitment: A model in which overlapping commitments are processed sequentially.

    Note:

    The Waterfall commitment model will be supported in a future release.

Enable overlapping commitments

To enable overlapping commitments, navigate to Billing settings > Billing rules and configure the commitment billing rule. For information about the enablement setting, see Billing Rules - Commitment.
