Hello community,
I would like a better understanding of TMF679.
Q1: The big question: is what SID entity is related to TMF679 resource model?
The API document states:
- "the API interact with Catalog and Inventory systems"
- "A Product Offering Qualification is created based on a product offers that are defined in a catalog"
- "The Product Offering Qualification management system has access to the commercial catalog system"
This looks like GB922 Product in SID.
However concept like eligibility, qualification and other synonyms are not mentioned in GB922 Product.
Q2 POQ vs POQItem
can we have some examples to discern one from the other?
Is a POQ the expression of the qualification rule, for examples:
Product ABC is not available for partners: A, B, G.
Product ABC is not available to less than 16 years old customers
Q3: TMF679 resource model has pricing and product BE's
TMF679 purpose is to get an eligibility status for a
product offering. Why would prices and product (in inventory) be useful here?
Q4: scope of POQ
the API spec (page 10) says:. "it [the API] allows to retrieve a list of productOfferings that are commercially available in the context of the interaction (defined by
place,
channel,
party,
product).
Q4a: place, channel
filtering of Place and (Sales?)channel is also supported by TMF620.
does TMF679 offer something different?
Q4b: Party
Can I assume that the Party (via PartyRole) could be the customer?
then we could have a rule like:
productoffering A is available to customer with age >= 18
Q4c: Product
Is this the "Product" ABE (product offering instantiated in the product inventory)
cheers!
