Hi Neema
To my understanding, in the TMF-prescribed architecture, the responsibility for decomposing Product into Service is in the Commerce Layer of ODA - in other words in the BSS level. This is demonstrated by the fact that Product Catalog (TMF620) includes implementing service and resource for Product, while Service Catalog (TMF633) "knows nothing" about Product.
It can be expected that some Product Order Handling component (which implements TMF622) will look at the product catalog to understand how the products in the order map into services, and then submit service orders (TMF641) for those services.
I'm not sure whether there is enough information in the Open API model currently to guide the POH component how many Service Orders to submit, the mapping logic might not be simple.
There's probably room to enhance the Open API model in the future.
Hope it helps

Hi All,
Can someone provide an insight on the creation of the TMF641 ServiceOrder payload from TMF622 Product Order payload. Or rather I would like to know whether corresponding to one ProductOrder is there a single ServiceOrder or multiple ServiceOrders?
