-  * **Define AWS Cost Categories:** You can [create cost categories](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/create-cost-categories.html) to organize your cost and usage information. Use [AWS Cost Categories](https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-cost-categories/) to map your AWS costs and usage into meaningful categories. With cost categories, you can organize your costs using a rule-based engine. The rules that you configure organize your costs into categories. Within these rules, you can filter with using multiple dimensions for each category such as specific AWS accounts, specific AWS services, or specific charge types. You can then use these categories across multiple products in the [AWS Billing and Cost Management](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/billing-what-is.html) [console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/view-billing-dashboard.html). This includes AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, AWS Cost and Usage Report, and AWS Cost Anomaly Detection. You can create groupings of costs using cost categories as well. After you create the cost categories (allowing up to 24 hours after creating a cost category for your usage records to be updated with values), they appear in [AWS Cost Explorer](https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-cost-explorer/), [AWS Budgets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/budgets-managing-costs.html), [AWS Cost and Usage Report](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/what-is-cur.html), and [AWS Cost Anomaly Detection](https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-cost-anomaly-detection/). For example, create cost categories for your business units (DevOps Team), and under each category create multiple rules (rules for each sub category) with multiple dimensions (AWS accounts, cost allocation tags, services or charge type) based on your defined groupings. In AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets, a cost category appears as an additional billing dimension. You can use this to filter for the specific cost category value, or group by the cost category.
