Terms and concepts

The following are terms and concepts for billing transfers:

  • Inbound billing: Billing transfers that allow you to manage and pay for another organization’s consolidated bill.

  • Outbound billing: Billing transfers that allow an account outside your organization to manage and pay your consolidated bill.

  • Bill-transfer chain: A collection of billing transfers that are interconnected (e.g., Organization A transfers to Organization B, and Organization B transfers to Organization C).

Note

  • These quotas apply only to actions performed from the AWS Organizations management account.

  • AWS Organizations is a global service that is physically hosted in the US East (N. Virginia) Region (us-east-1). Therefore, you must use us-east-1 to access these quotas when using the Service Quotas console, the AWS CLI, or an AWS SDK.
