  • 1.  Queries for discount modeling with Open API

    Posted Aug 08, 2019 23:20
    Hi All,

    After looking at document of TMF620_Product_Catalog_Management_API_REST_Specification_R17.5.0-1, we are not able to map some of discount types:

    1. Subscription discounts:
             It applies only to specific account that purchase it.
             For example, Grant 20% off on bill amount for the first six months of usage
    2. System/Global discounts:
             It applies to all accounts in the system.
             For example, a discount on all items purchased during a holiday period is a system discount
    3. How to configure discount which can be applied on total bill amount or total usage amount or total rental (recurring fee) amount.

    It would be very helpful if these can be clarified.

    Hi Anish
    It looks like what you need is an additional attribute - alterationType, which could be added to ProductOfferingPrice, and relevant only for a POP that is an alteration. It could have valid values that match your use cases, such as:
    • Subscription Discount
    • Market Discount
    • Bill-day Discount
    • more
    You can of course add such an attribute in a local extension to the model, but it may be worth considering a CR to add to the official specification.
    The behavior at runtime, such as at Sales, Order Capture, Bill Run, etc. would have to be implemented by the backend BSS systems to honor the catalog implementation.

    Hope it helps
