Open APIs

Hello,

Has anyone used 648 API for MACD quotation?. 

For example, Modify, we will need to generate the previous and new quote items and all the pricing/commercial changes (e.g. iremove/add promotion, penalty or incentives if breaching some contract term).

Dor Disconnect, we will need to show Early Termination Charges or any pending charges in the quotation to show the customer and get their approval/signature.

Thanks and best regards

Hi Matthieu,

Thanks for your response. Will look at the Shopping Cart API.

In a related question, should we consider a quote/shopping cart API or document management API if we need to generate a PDF/HTML quote to send to the customer?

I don't know what a document management API does, but I understand we generate PDF out of our BSS like this:

• Ingest and Validate the JSON structure (provided by your Cart/quote/order API)
• Map JSON Content to a PDF Template: Apply predefined rules to map JSON elements such as attributes in resources or array to the corresponding fields/tables in the PDF template.
• Generate and Validate the PDF File

but maybe other approaches exist.

Hi Matthieu,

Thanks for the prompt response.

I am referring to TMF 667 Document Management API for quote or agreement docs generation. It need to includes all the Clause/T&C, appendix etc

Best regards

Hi,

The API for Quote management should be 648, for the Product Configuration it is 760 / for the cart items it is 663. For MACD operations, as Mathieu suggested, the action (ADD, DEL etc.) attribute at the line item level should be used. You can define this in the quote or even in the catalog against every item in the catalog, depending on your Architecture pattern.

The document management is for a different purpose and if the Quote summary is to be stored as a document in the document server or elsewhere, the 667 can be used to post this document. But for quotation management it is 648 and 760 and/or 663 depending on the nature of your operations. For recommendations there  is another API.

Regards,

Jag

Hi Jag,

Thanks for the response. In our project, we need to send the customer a PDF version of the quote pack for review. The PDF must include the quote, standard legal T&C, relevant product and rate information, etc. We are contemplating using 667 for the PDF generation, taking information from 648 (quote), 620 (rate), and 667 (product marketing and legalese stuff). Alternatively, we need to extend 648 to include non-quote items.

Any thought?
