# How Does Discount Attribution Work?

Discount attribution plays out in various scenarios.

## Multi-Account Setup

The first scenario occurs in a multi-account setup. During a purchase plan, Archera allows you to choose whether to acquire commitments in the master payer account or distribute them across the individual covered accounts. Opt for the option that aligns best with your specific use case.

## Individual Savings Vehicle Attribution

The second scenario involves attributing individual savings vehicles to specific pieces of infrastructure. In this case, Archera can utilize the existing attribution from AWS, Azure, or GCP — or we can customize the attribution to fit your needs.

This is particularly useful when you want to apply specific savings vehicles to particular infrastructure components. For example, you might want to apply a Compute Savings Plan to all Windows-based infrastructure and utilize Guaranteed Commitments for the Linux portion.

Feel free to reach out to us to explore the possibilities of custom attribution at <support@archera.ai>.
