Document Understanding User Guide
Metering and charging logic
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.
- For licensing information for modern projects, check the Metering and charging logic page from the Document UnderstandingTM 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 [Preview] Document Understanding and AI Center consumption dashboard page.
