Group: Manage Bill and Billing Procedures - Batch 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 Batch 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, then Batch Billing skips the service agreement being processed (as this might be waiting for a sync request to be completed). Otherwise, a new usage request is created for the bill segment being processed.
