Before you create or update a cost center, if you're unsure of how spending will be allocated to the cost center, see Asignación del centro de coste para diferentes productos.

Creating a cost center

Nota:

An enterprise can create up to 250 cost centers.

Create cost centers to monitor and manage expenses for specific organizations or repositories. Multiple organizations, repositories, and users can be assigned to one cost center.

When you create a cost center, you can add organizations, repositories, or users. The cost center will then track spending for the selected entities.

  1. En la esquina superior derecha de GitHub, haz clic en la fotografía de perfil.

  2. En función de su entorno, haga clic en Enterprise o en Empresas y, a continuación, haga clic en la empresa que desea ver.

  3. En la parte superior de la página, haz clic en Billing and licensing.

  4. Click Cost centers.

  5. Click New cost center in the upper-right corner.

  6. In the text box under "Name", enter a name for your cost center.

  7. If your account is billed to Azure, you have the option to add an Azure ID. Your credentials will be verified against Azure to ensure the Azure IDs associated to your account are available.

  8. Under Resources, select the organizations, repositories, and/or users that will be a part of the cost center.

    Nota:

    A resource (organization, repository, or user) can only be assigned to one cost center at a time. If you add a resource that belongs to a different cost center, it will be moved to the new cost center and you will be notified.

  9. Click Create cost center.

Adding a budget to a cost center

After you create a cost center, you can add a monthly budget and receive alerts from the cost center to monitor your spending and usage. See Configuración de presupuestos para controlar el gasto en productos medidos.
