IBM Cloud - Structured Ideas
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Post your ideas
Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and vote them if they matter to you
Post an idea
Vote ideas that matter most to you
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea
Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notifications on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.
For more information on this idea portal, see this Think-Write-Submit blog.

Reminder: For any defect or support needs, use the "add ticket" section under the Cloud account menu. For technical Q&A, use Stack Overflow and tag with "ibm-cloud". For Q&A about the Cloud offering and getting started, use IBM developerWorks Answers. Thanks!
NOTE: All IBM employees must enter Ideas through this Ideas Portal.

Further to the above comment, IBM is taking steps to unify all billing mechanisms across IaaS and PaaS services. This unification is related to a larger effort of IMS modernization is being targeted at 4Q19/1H20.
Two points:
This kind of clarity/break-down is indeed available. However, the usage data generated by Cloud IMS component gets transformed as it is passed on to the SLIC/CFTs invoicing system. The behavior observed here is likely a result of that.
That said, this level of clarity is available for download from the IMS Invoice Portal. The CFTs invoice is prepared solely based on this input, and Avaloq is highly encouraged to use that for its purposes.
