Work with Commitment Manager

This page explains how to work with Commitment Manager, including viewing, editing and deleting.

Note

Commitment Manager may display different information from other features, such as invoices and reports, because invoices and reports reflect your actual spending whereas commitments only show the portion of spending eligible for the commitment. See also Commitment Manager terminology.

  2. For the commitment you want to view, select View details.

    Note that:

    • The total amount of the commitment will be evenly spread out between the months throughout the contract period.

    • Commitments can start or end mid-month. For example, a period from January 15, 2023 to January 15, 2024 should include 13 columns, the first covering the second half of January 2023 and the last covering the first half of January 2024.

View commitment spend​

You can view your commitment spend against the committed goal and track your progress. By default, the graph displays total eligible spend, commitment value, and forecast. If your billing account includes Marketplace spend this is also shown.

  • You can filter the graph by selecting any combination of these options.

  • By hovering over the graph, you can see a summary of the monthly commitment spend. The example below shows that for January 2025, the monthly commitment was $262,528, but the total eligible spend reached $468,831. This means the commitment amount was surpassed. Of that total, $97,376 was Marketplace spend.

    If your commitment includes Marketplace spend, you can see a detailed breakdown for the month by selecting a specific figure. The example below shows that, for April 2025, the total Marketplace spend for the month was $9,894.17. The Eligible (from remaining) is $9,894.17 which is the portion of the Marketplace spend that is eligible to be applied towards the Marketplace commitment. Once the Marketplace commitment is met, then Eligible (from remaining) will be $0.

Add a true-up invoice​
