Metering and charging logic (Flex Plan)

This section includes specific information about the metering & charging logic for AI units, depending on the used activity, and explains the AI unit cost per page for extractors, OCR engines, classifiers, and other components. More details about AI Units can be found here and details about licensing can be found here.

Tip:

• For licensing information for modern projects, check the Metering and charging logic page from the Document Understanding^TM User Guide for Modern Experience.
• To track your AI units consumption at organization and tenant level, check the AI units consumption overview dashboard pages.
• To track AI units consumption for Document Understanding and AI Center projects, check the IxP AI Unit consumption dashboard page.

Note:

The charges apply per extracted page and per extraction method, meaning that, for example, both Form Extractor and Machine Learning Extractor are run, then the charges would be 1.2 AI units.

Note:

For training costs, check the AI units page from the AI Center guide.

Note:

Classification charges are capped at maximum 5 units per document.

Extraction	AI unit cost per processed page
RegEx Extractor	0
Form Extractor	0.2
Machine Learning Extractor	1*
Forms AI	1
Customer-Managed third party Extractor	0.1

Note:

The Machine Learning Extractor consumes one AI unit/processed page, even if the extracted information is not to be found on that page.

Other Components	AI unit cost per processed page
Validation Station	0
Classification Station	0
Taxonomy Manager	0

Generative features

Depending on the version of the activity package you are using, there are slight differences related to AI units consumption. The consumption models are detailed in the sections that follow.

Note:

Generative prelabeling does not consume AI Units when:

• calling a public endpoint from a session hosted on Automation Cloud
• calling a skill deployed in Automation Cloud™ from a Document Manager session hosted on Automation Cloud Generative prelabeling consumes AI Units when:
• calling a public endpoint from a session hosted on Automation Suite
• calling a skill deployed in Automation Suite from a Document Manager session hosted on Automation Cloud

Activities version 24.12-preview and newer

This consumption is applied when using PredefinedGenerative projects with the following::

• IntelligentOCR newer than 6.23.2-preview.
• DocumentUnderstanding.Activities newer than 2.13.2-preview.
• Document Understanding API v1.1.

Consumption:

• 1 AI Unit per processed page (includes Generative Classification and Generative Extraction)
  Note:

  When enabled, Generative Validation adds 1 AI Unit, bringing the total consumption to 2 AI Units per processed page.

Activities version older than 24.12-preview

This consumption model is applied when using:

• IntelligentOCR up to 6.23.2-preview with PredefinedGenerative projects;
• DocumentUnderstanding.Activities up to 2.13.2-preview with PredefinedGenerative projects;
• Document Understanding API v1.0 with Predefined projects.

AI Units consumption for generative features in activity versions older than 24.12-preview is detailed in the following table.

Generative feature	Consumed AI units
Generative Classifier	0.2 per operation
Generative Extraction	1.2 per operation
Generative Validation	1 per operation

1-25	0
26-50	1
51-75	2
76-100	3
101-125	4
125+	5

Note:

Classification charges are capped at maximum five units per documents.
