The sum of all the costs for all service targets that missed their goals and are related to the agreement are calculated for the review period and shown as an amount and currency.

Unknown Time

(Performance-monitoring service targets only) The total time during the review period when no data was available to calculate the status of any service targets related to the agreement.
