Regarding your reference to the TMF635 Usage Management API, there is a new TMF727 Service Usage Management API v4/5.
Are there any plans to create a TMFxyz Resource Usage Management API as well? I can see that the ODA team have separate components for each of these which I guess makes sense. If so, will TMF635 become the Product Usage Management API?
Thanks!

TM Forum's Business Process Framework (eTOM) groups processes by domains (Product, Service, Resource, etc.) and the Information Framework (SID) and Open APIs are are also modeled around these domains. With the Usage Management API (TMF635) we may manage usage as reported by network elements, or ODA Components, within those domains. While a 5G Converged Charging System (CCS) may be able to report Rated Product Usage a 5GC AMF, residing wholly within the Resource domain, would not and as such would report Resource usage.
