Allocate static costs or credits to a specific business unit to ensure actuals against your budget is accurate in CFP

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We have  a couple of active scenarios:

#1 we've got vendors who contribute to cloud cost that have no formal integration into Cloudability. In those instances the costs stay the same every month and its charged to a specific business unit, we want to be able to manually input line item against that business unit.

#2 we have a consistently high volume of credits from both of our main vendors (Azure & GCP) and are attributed to specific business units or cost-centers. When those happen we'd like to be able to input this manually if you can't grab it automatically. 

Being able to do these would allow for the monthly and yearly actual spend in Cloudability Financial Planning be an more accurate depiction of how each business unit is performing against their budgets. Currently without these CFP really isn't useful for us.
