If we extrapolate this "requirement", the API TMF645 should not return the cost. It should only return the Service feasibility results. The results should be applied to the Order configuration / Shopping cart and evaluated against the catalog rules (for configuration and pricing).
Based on the attributes in the response of 645, the above action i.e. pricing and configuration evaluation will price the cart correctly.
If you have the price being returned as part of 645 for whatever reason, then in those cases the cart evaluation & pricing should not happen and implementing both will result in an incomplete / non eligible Order configuration / cart configuration.
It is good to follow this Architectural principle even for OffNet scenarios.

Hi Greg
Yes, the requirement is to return a number of options for service delivery with associated costs.

Hi Milind,
I believe I have seen Product Spec costs in SID (model is not at my fingertips) but don't recall same for service and not sure if it was associated with resource either.
My guess is that "money" is a concern of the Product domain.
Are you trying to support a use case for qualifying based on service costs (vs pricing to customer)?

We have a requirement to return costs for various options as part of service qualification API call 645. This means we need to add the resource for cost in the 645 resource model?
What is a recommended extension pattern ?
There is no cost associated with the Service in the SID as far as I can tell.
