# Consumption Groups

These are the business units of the company or organization responsible for cost management and budget control. **Consumption Groups** are a Lighthouse feature designed for cloud cost management and budget control.

Organizations typically manage the costs of cloud resources and services centrally. However, different departments use these resources, creating the need to allocate costs to the departments that actually use them.

Use Consumption Groups to perform cost **showback** and **chargeback**, promoting accountability for cloud spending. This provides cost visibility and helps the company manage the high costs of technology in the digital age.

**Before Starting**:&#x20;

First of all, we need to finalize the Organizational Map and all the parts related to the showback, the business units and cost centers responsible for the allocations must be well defined and, as recommended, documented in a table.

When you click **Close**, the configuration will be applied to the consumption group.

**Create a New Consumption Group**

**Step 1**: And add new Consumption Groups, by clicking on the highlighted button.

**Step 2**: Enter the name of the consumption group and the custom fields, then click **Continue**.

**Step 3**: Click **Add relationships**

<figure><img src="https://1687673077-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZ9sinLUl52lDK1vg6b8g%2Fuploads%2FtJWqvJ3JutJwPuCggBZt%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f3be96b6-24a0-4de2-9a8e-cabe187d627d" alt="" width="440"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 4**: Inform the data to add the Consumption Group relationship.&#x20;

* **Relationship (Optional)**: Consumption group immediately above in the hierarchy&#x20;
* **Competencies**: Inform the scope of the consumption group relationship&#x20;
* **Behavior**: Choose the type of consumption group behavior:&#x20;
  * **Relational**: Use this option to create a hierarchy relationship.&#x20;
  * **Rule Grouper**: Use this option to group the rules and inform:&#x20;
    * **Context of rules**:  The origin of the rules, for example: Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP.&#x20;
    * **Rules**: Relate the rules to the consumption group, which rules from the Organizational Map you will link to the corresponding Group.
* **Create automatic relationship**: When selecting a relationship option, the system will enable this option to create an automatic Parent relationship with the consumer group immediately above in the hierarchy. So that the cost existing in the child Consumption Group is automatically reflected in the parent Consumption Group (i.e. always one level above in the hierarchy).
