I want to associate cost with objects like, CPU, RAM, Power or DS with VMs to so I can get a report of how much it is costing and create a chargeback report. Is there a ways to do it

The only way I know of to do such a thing would be to add a label for the price per each item (i.e. PricePerCpu, PricePerRAM, PricePerVms, etc) and populate it with that data. After the labels are created and populated, go to the search for * on vms. Next, export the data, and select the attributes and labels you want. Once the results are exported to excel, you will have to multiply out the Price label and the item count in a new field. Hope this helps!
