    Why is On Demand Cost and Committed Cost in Commitment Manager not equal to the total Cost in Reporting Section of the Payer Account for a particular service for example AWS EC2?

    The discrepancy between On-Demand Cost and Committed Cost in the Commitment Manager versus the total Cost in the Reporting Section can occur due to several factors:1. Different Calculation Methodologies: Each section might use unique approaches to compute costs, leading to variations in total cost representation.2. Commitment Coverage Complexity: Not all services may be equally covered by commitments, creating variations in cost calculations.3. Service Eligibility: Some cloud services might have different commitment rules or partial coverage, impacting cost totals.4. Timeframe Differences: The analysis period might differ between Commitment Manager and Reporting Section.To resolve these discrepancies, I recommend:
    - Carefully comparing detailed cost breakdowns
    - Verifying service and commitment configurations
    - Checking the specific services and timeframes being analyzed
    - Consulting Apptio Cloudability support for a precise reconciliation of the cost differencesThe key is understanding how each section calculates and allocates costs, which can reveal the source of the variations.
