# BillingPlan.fetchByMerchantBillingPlanId

The `fetchByMerchantBillingPlanId` method returns a `BillingPlan` object whose ID, assigned by you, matches the input.

## Input

*srd:* sparse response description, a SOAP string (which must be a JSON object), in which you specify the elements you want returned.This parameter enables the calling system to constrain a `method` call to return only components you specify. This gives you greater control over returned content, and improves response time within the Vindicia platform by reducing the processing needed for the call.

Some fields are required, either practically or in the WSDL, and will be returned regardless of the `srd`. A null `srd` returns the complete response.

*merchantBillingPlanId*: your billing plan ID (`merchantBillingPlanId`), which serves as the search criterion.

## Output

*return*: an object of type `Return` that indicates the success or failure of the call.

*billingPlan*: the `BillingPlan` object whose `merchantBillingPlanId` matches the input.

## Returns

In addition to those listed in [The Return Object](The_Return_Object), this call returns:

| Return Code | Return String |
| - | - |
| 404 | No BillingPlans found for Merchant Billing Plan ID input-merchantBillingPlanId. |

## Example

```

$bpMerchantId = '12345';
 
// Create a billing plan object
$plan = new BillingPlan();
 
// now load a billing plan record into the Billing Plan object
$response = $plan->fetchByMerchantBillingPlanId($bpMerchantId);
if($response['returnCode'] == 200) {
$fetchedBillingPlan = $response['data']->billingPlan;
 
// process fetched billing plan here
}
```
