Hi, I have a question about creating an AdWords Campaign via AdWords API. I found the sample codes to create client accounts under my MCC account and create campaign under that created client account. According to the answer I got from AdWords support hotline, if a client account does not have billing setup, AdWords will bill its MCC account if consolidated billing is set up on that account. If consolidated billing is not setup on the MCC account, then the campaign will not run. If these are correct, it seems like I do not need to set a BudgetOrder in order for the campaign to run properly but according to an answer I found on this forum <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/adwords-api/Q7HDQqqfo3Y/05qDPC21BQAJ> :
"As you suspected, it is not possible to deposit money using the AdWords API. If the Manager account is whitelisted for BudgetOrderService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201802/BudgetService> and set up for Consolidated billing <https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375371?hl=en>, you could use the API to create budget orders for the client accounts. Please check this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/budget-order#creating_a_new_budgetorder> for more details. Let me know if you have any further questions." And the provided guide for BudgetOrderService, it seems like I do need to call the mutate method on BudgetOrderService in order to create a BudgetOrder to authorise the AdWords API created client account to bill the MCC account with consolidated billing, even if that billing account is used to create the client account; is that correct? Or it is not necessary to make this mutation call?
