Ability to filter out GCP credits in Container

We have a Public Sector Subscription Agreement (PSSA) with Google Cloud Platform for one of our GCP BIDs. This agreement means that we paid a fixed amount each month for the duration of the agreement. Any usage charges were credited out and we were only invoiced for the fixed amount. This process has created multiple issues for us when viewing consumption data in Apptio Cloudability as our costs often show as 0 from the credits.

We have a business mapping, TransactionType, that helps us filter out the credits on Dashboards in order to see the consumption of the accounts. However, the issue continues to appear in the Containers section in Cloudability because there is no way to filter on Business Mappings in Containers. Since we cannot filter out Transaction Type =”Credits” in Containers so our total cost is either $0 or negative, as seen in the screenshot attached.

We would like the ability to filter out the credits so that we can see our consumption/usage in the clusters. Currently, the only filters available are Cluster and Namespace.
