ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
As with most of the entities related to an account (e.g. bills, payments), the first 5 digits of the ID is inherited from the first 5 digits of the Account ID.
This helps when running various batch jobs multi-threaded as the entities are not split and processed by different threads.
With the introduction of Usage entity, the ID is not inherited from the Account ID. When running C1-USGDF multi-threaded, this means we could be processing different usages for the same account at the same time. This can cause issues related to concurrency.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
Usage Id should follow the same pattern as other entity ids to avoid threading issues.
