# Reimport Billing

The **Billing Reimport** option is available on the details page of a data source in FinOps for Cloud. 

This feature allows you to manually reimport your billing data starting from a specific date into FinOps for Cloud. You can manually reimport data if:

* Your billing data has not been imported as expected.
* You have made configuration or permission-related changes that require reimporting data to reflect those updates.
* You need historical billing data from months that were not previously imported. 

## Performing a billing reimport

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before performing a billing reimport, note the following points:

* Importing billing data from the specified date overwrites the existing billing records. This can cause discrepancies or interruptions in current billing data.
* The reimport process is irreversible. Once the process has been initiated, it cannot be stopped. Additionally, the process could take some time to complete, depending on the amount of data.
* The new billing data will be imported during the next billing import report processing.
  {% endhint %}

To manually trigger a billing data reimport:

1. In FinOps for Cloud, navigate to the **Data sources** page. 
2. Select the desired data source. 
3. On the details page of the selected data source, select **Billing reimport**.
4. Choose the start date from which you want historical data imported, then select **Set**.
5. Select **Schedule import** to start the reimport process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.finops.softwareone.com/system/data-sources/manage-data-sources/reimport-billing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
