AWS Billing Conductor introduced SKU-scoped pricing rules that allow customers and partners to specify exact custom rates for AWS services along with configurable usage tiers, replacing prior reliance on percentage markup or markdown against public on-demand rates. This enhancement facilitates precise modeling of negotiated commercial agreements across subsidiaries or customers.

The feature supports fine-grained pro forma billing configurations by directly entering rate and tier breakpoints, improving control and accuracy. Custom pricing configurations are available in all commercial AWS Regions except AWS China (Beijing and Ningxia). This update streamlines reflecting complex pricing arrangements in billing data.
