BudgetOrderService BILLING_SETUP_INCOMPLETE

[Justin]

Hi,

I'm attempting to add a Billing Account to a sub-account using BudgetOrderService. When attempting to create a BudgetOrder I'm faced with the following error messsage.

 

BudgetOrderError.BILLING_SETUP_INCOMPLETE : no billing setup found, may be in the middle of signup

I was able to create a BudgetOrder by first, using the WebUI to add a billing account and invoice for the sub-account, signing the agreement, then run the request again on the API. 

Is there an API endpoint that would allow me to automate Payment Setup for each sub account ( so the WebUI/manual intervention is not needed )? Or is there another way to create a BudgetOrder for a fresh sub-account?

Thanks in advance,

Justin

Hello,

If you like to use the BudgetOrderService via the API, the account should already be on consolidated billing. Also the mutate operation in this service is available only on a whitelist basis. If you are not using consolidated billing, you will not be able to manage the account budgets via the API. AdWords API does not support Payment. However, you can check this guide which elaborates Billing and Payments through the Google Ads UI.

If I am not currently on consolidated billing, will the mutate operation work at all? I've been white listed for the operation and it works once manually setting up the invoice for the sub account, then making the mutate operation to create a budget order. I'm not sure whether or not I'm currently under consolidated billing.

Thanks,

Justin

Hello,

Please note that to perform operation using BudgetOrderService.mutate, you will need to whitelist the MCC account making the API call. If you are not sure about consolidated billing setup, then please share the id of the Google Ads Manager account.. You can use 'Reply privately to author' option while responding.

Issue solved,

I needed to specify BOTH billingAccountId and primaryBillingId in my mutate operation. Previously I was only specifying one or the other.
