## Contents


 ** Method **   <a name="awscostmanagement-Type-CostCategorySplitChargeRule-Method"></a>
The method that's used to define how to split your source costs across your targets.   
 `Proportional` - Allocates charges across your targets based on the proportional weighted cost of each target.  
 `Fixed` - Allocates charges across your targets based on your defined allocation percentage.  
>`Even` - Allocates costs evenly across all targets.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `FIXED | PROPORTIONAL | EVEN`   
Required: Yes

 ** Source **   <a name="awscostmanagement-Type-CostCategorySplitChargeRule-Source"></a>
The cost category value that you want to split. That value can't be used as a source or a target in other split charge rules. To indicate uncategorized costs, you can use an empty string as the source.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.  
Pattern: `[\S\s]*`   
Required: Yes

 ** Targets **   <a name="awscostmanagement-Type-CostCategorySplitChargeRule-Targets"></a>
The cost category values that you want to split costs across. These values can't be used as a source in other split charge rules.   
Type: Array of strings  
Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 500 items.  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.  
Pattern: `[\S\s]*`   
Required: Yes

 ** Parameters **   <a name="awscostmanagement-Type-CostCategorySplitChargeRule-Parameters"></a>
The parameters for a split charge method. This is only required for the `FIXED` method.   
Type: Array of [CostCategorySplitChargeRuleParameter](API_CostCategorySplitChargeRuleParameter.md) objects  
Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 10 items.
