@ApiService("SoftLayer_Billing_Item")
public static interface Item.Service
extends Service
Every individual item that a SoftLayer customer is billed for is recorded in the SoftLayer_Billing_Item data type. Billing items range from server chassis to hard drives to control panels, bandwidth quota upgrades and port upgrade charges. Softlayer [[SoftLayer_Billing_Invoice|invoices]] are generated from the cost of a customer's billing items. Billing items are copied from the product catalog as they're ordered by customers to create a reference between an account and the billable items they own.

Billing items exist in a tree relationship. Items are associated with each other by parent/child relationships. Component items such as CPU's, RAM, and software each have a parent billing item for the server chassis they're associated with. Billing Items with a null parent item do not have an associated parent item.
