Extend Commitment Portfolio Support to Business Mapping–Based Views

Today, Commitment Portfolio in Cloudability only supports views based on account and vendor tag dimensions. This creates a limitation for customers like NTT, who want to manage commitments in alignment with their Azure enrollment (payer accounts).

Since views do not support filtering by payer account ID or payer account name, we created Business Mappings to bring in those dimensions. These business dimensions are then used to assign views to users and align them with their organizational structure.

While other Cloudability features work well with Business Mapping–based views, Commitment Portfolio does not—meaning any view not derived from account/vendor cannot be leveraged. This gap prevents customers from managing commitments in the way their business is structured.

Key points:

Customers want to align Commitment Portfolio with Azure enrollment / payer account structure.

Current limitation: Commitment Portfolio only works with account/vendor-based views.

Workaround: Business Mappings can introduce payer account ID/name, but Commitment Portfolio does not recognize them.

Commitments themselves are managed on the subscription level, so aligning views with payer accounts is critical.
