Question is why for assets like guest_storage we do not get all the information from API response for estimated invoice [API used: 'BillingItem' 'getNextInvoiceChildren']. E.g. The resourceTableId is missing altogether in the estimated billing invoice json.

Json dump for estimated invoice: For guest storage: Estimated bill id: 185101227

Billing API dump: 

{'modifyDate': '2019-03-01T19:28:37-06:00', 'recurringMonths': 1, 
'id': 293978447, 'setupFee': '0', 'recurringFee': '0', 'lastBillDate': '2019-03-01T19:28:37-06:00', 
'nextBillDate': '2019-03-31T23:00:00-06:00', 'createDate': '2018-04-06T20:33:41-06:00', 
'oneTimeFeeTaxRate': '0', 'laborFeeTaxRate': '0', 'parentId': '', 'cancellationDate': '',

'laborFee': '0', 'oneTimeFee': '0', 'setupFeeTaxRate': '0', 'categoryCode': 
'guest_storage', 'allowCancellationFlag': 1, 'serviceProviderId': 1, 'orderItemId': '', 
'nextInvoiceChildrenCount': 0, 'recurringFeeTaxRate': '0'}

On the other hand, we have the information in some cases

For hardware Asset:

Estimated bill id: 185470395

  • I seems that the billing item "185101227" does not have a resource attached, that's why it does not show you the "resourceTableId". – F.Ojeda Mar 14 '19 at 22:35
  • Thanks for the reply. One of the cases I opened from control.softlayer.com said: "Ancillary services, add-ons, storage, etc do not need/have a resourceTableId simply because the system was designed this way". I will proceed with both the inputs and see if I get stuck anywhere. – Ananya Chatterjee Mar 26 '19 at 14:21
