  • 1.  Queries for Product Offering Price from Product Catalog Management API

    Posted Jul 23, 2019 04:00

    I have been referring to the document of TMF620_Product_Catalog_Management_API_REST_Specification_R17.5.0-1 where
    I am unable to map some of the properties used in our system to ProductOfferingPrice resource in API:

    1. "Revenue Code" at price level which is used by account receivable for accounting when the charges are billed
    2. "Recurring Advance/Forward fee" and "Recurring Arrear fee" which is used during billing process to consider rental period in bill
    3. "Proration" which is used during billing process to make sure the charges in the bill are prorated properly as per the configuration
    4. If the operator wants bill to be generated with minimum of xx amount irrespctive of any product offering subscribed by the customer, then how to map "Minimum Bill Commitment Charge".

    Hi Anish
    Possibly the best way to solve these would be to extend the model to add these attributes. You have multiple ways of doing this:
    • Add a list of characteristics, and then set the characteristics to meet your requirements
    • Add the fields explicitly (strongly named and typed)
    I am not sure what you mean by proration at the level of the catalog. Typically proration would be done per individual customer invoice by the billing system. Unless you want to specify in the catalog if a particular price is prorated or not (i.e. to define a proration policy).

    If you think that any of the above fields could be generally relevant, we could consider adding them to the core Open API model, this would require discussion.

    Hope it helps

    Hi,

    Was checking the latest TMF620 version 5.0.0 to see if any of these points have been addressed, but not much luck. Is there anyone working on this or open for anyone to contribute?

    Regards

    Srinivas
