Group: Manage Bill and Billing Procedures - Online Billing - Get Consumption
Description: CC&B creates the request for Usage to be sent to MDM. The request contains the bill segment period, as well as rate version break periods.
Note: For Online Billing, CC&B checks if a usage request already exists for the bill segment in a non-final state (either in Pending or Awaiting Data Sync, Awaiting Bill Determinants (BD) or BD Received State). If found, it implies that a user is regenerating the bill segment. The existing usage request is cancelled or deleted (if in Pending or Awaiting Sync status) and a new usage request is created for the bill segment being processed.
