Viewing a Monthly Statement
When you are logged on, the service uses your name and email address for authentication. However,
any related bill is based on the Service ID you supplied when you opened your account.
A Service ID is typically bound to an organization account, which can have multiple users and multiple
service IDs. (Note, a single person can be an organization: for example, an administrator who creates the
account and allows access to others). A statement shows the combined information for everyone using a
particular Service ID.
The monthly statement is delivered as a downloadable PDF.
1. Log into the Texas data center.
2. From the vCloud Air home page, select Tools > Billing and Payments. Each row displays a
separate service ID.
3. Click View Statements to see a list of statements. From the list you can download a PDF, or
export the statement to .xsl or .csv format.

separate line item.
