Ordering a Subscription with the Pay as you go (internal) billing type

The Resource consumption data is retrieved from the Service side on a regular basis, but the Resource prices are stored locally. For more information about Charges, see Pay as you go. Charges generation. The actual algorithm of calculating the Resource consumption depends on the Service (see Services. Operator Guide).
