Reimport Billing

The Billing Reimport option is available on the details page of a data source in FinOps for Cloud.

This feature allows you to manually reimport your billing data starting from a specific date into FinOps for Cloud. You can manually reimport data if:

• Your billing data has not been imported as expected.
• You have made configuration or permission-related changes that require reimporting data to reflect those updates.
• You need historical billing data from months that were not previously imported.

Performing a billing reimport

{% hint style="warning" %} Before performing a billing reimport, note the following points:

• Importing billing data from the specified date overwrites the existing billing records. This can cause discrepancies or interruptions in current billing data.
• The reimport process is irreversible. Once the process has been initiated, it cannot be stopped. Additionally, the process could take some time to complete, depending on the amount of data.
• The new billing data will be imported during the next billing import report processing. {% endhint %}

1. In FinOps for Cloud, navigate to the Data sources page.
2. Select the desired data source.
3. On the details page of the selected data source, select Billing reimport.
