Overview
Ripple now supports Payers that use AWS Billing Transfer — AWS's feature for transferring billing ownership to a different Payer.
MSPs proceeding with Billing Transfer migrations for AWS Partner Program incentive eligibility can continue using Ripple seamlessly throughout the transition.
Feature Details
Where to configure A Billing Transfer toggle and start month input have been added to the Payer Settings screen.
New fields:
Billing Transfer — Enable / disable toggle
Billing Transfer Transition Timing (Start Month) — Specify the month the transfer begins
CUR references during the transition month
For periods spanning the Billing Transfer transition month, Ripple references both the old and new Payer CURs simultaneously, ensuring:
Previous month's invoice calculation → references the old Payer CUR
Current month's graph and billing data → references the new Payer CUR
This ensures invoice accuracy immediately after the transition while correctly visualising usage in the new environment.
Cancelling a Billing Transfer
Billing Transfer can also be cancelled from within Ripple (on a monthly basis).
Use Cases
Migrating from CUR integration to AWS Billing Transfer for AWS Partner Program incentive eligibility
Consolidating management across multiple Payers or OUs using AWS-native features
Notes
AWS Billing Transfer takes effect from the start of the month. Access to both old and new CURs must be maintained until the previous month's CUR is finalised — typically around the 5th to 10th of the following month.
A new CUR must be created on the new Payer side for the transferred accounts. Historical data remains on the old Payer. If you need historical data reflected on the new Payer, a Backfill request to AWS Support is required.
Even with Billing Transfer enabled, processing will work correctly as long as the input information is accessible from Alphaus — standard CUR format is fully supported.
