# Enabling AWS Billing Data

Enable billing data in the DuploCloud Portal

## Prerequisites

To enable the billing feature in DuploCloud, ensure the following:

* **Enable billing data export in AWS:** Follow the steps in [this AWS guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/what-is-cur.html) to enable cost and usage reports.
* **Apply cost allocation tags:** These tags are required for DuploCloud to organize and retrieve billing data accurately. For more details, see the [DuploCloud cost allocation tags documentation](/docs/automation-platform/overview/use-cases/cost-management/cost-allocation-tags.md).
* **Access requirements:** You must be logged in as `root` (or an equivalent IAM user with full billing permissions) on the AWS account that manages cost and billing for your AWS organization.

## Enabling Billing Data in DuploCloud

1. In the DuploCloud Portal, go to **Administrator** -> **Billing**.
2. On the right side of the page, click **Enable Billing Feature**. Billing data will display after the next data sync.<br>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/overview/use-cases/cost-management/enable-billing-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
