To amplify on Ludovic's answer, the Product Inventory API is indeed what you refer to as Customer Inventory, representing the nexus between items in the product catalog and the customers. We don't anticipate the need for an additional API.
Since we use the more generic RelatedParty as against Customer, you can use the API to query Products from the Inventory according to different cross-sections, such as Products owned by a Customer, Products used by an Individual, Products supplied by a particular Supplier, and more (assuming that your underlying API implementation supports the queries and that the appropriate information was set when creating the Product in the first place).
Hope it helps

Hello Jose Ricardo
Make perfect sense !
The relatedParty allow you to link product inventory to party (individual or organization) associated with a role (Customer, User, etc...).
Note that if you manage PartyRole (to simplify have an identifier for a Party playing a role) you could alsoassociate the partyRole identifier via relatedParty.
Hope it help.

Hi All,
I am looking for an API for Customer Inventory, and in fact it does not exist, at least with this name. Indeed looking at TMF637 Product Inventory Management API there is an association between "Product" and "RelatedPartyRef" that could be used for this purpose assuming that the related Party could be a Customer. In this make sense? If not, will this API be specified in the future? It seems there is not roadmap for this currently.
