Requesting Usage Transactions

Usage transactions can be created via a request from the billing process.

To invoke a usage transaction request, the billing process invokes a Usage Transaction Request Inbound service script which invokes the Usage Transaction Seeder (D2-UsgTranSeeder) business object. This business object does the following:
  • Determines the usage subscription ID based on an external usage subscription ID
  • Determines the appropriate usage transaction business object to create. This uses the "How To Create Usage Subscription Related Information" processing method defined for the "Usage Transaction Creation" processing role on the service provider that represents the external system.

For a deeper functional understanding of Usage Transactions, refer to the About Usage Transactions section.
