Hi,
in TMF 622 Product Ordering API I am wondering how to establish a connection from productOrder resource to a previous reservation of resources. For appointments there is an optional reference from productOrderItem to Appointment. This could be used, for instance to carry the reference to an appointment between customer and technician in the order. For reservations, however (like reservations of ports, lines, MSISDNs and other limited resources ), such a relation is missing (or I haven't found it).
I would expect a list (0..*) of ReservationRef from TMF 622 productOrderItem to TMF 685 Reservation Resource, each containing id, href, name, role and some @type/@baseTpe/@referredType attributes (since there could be more than one reservation and different types of reservations).
Hence, a reservation (or, more precisely one or more reservations of different types) could be created e.g. within order capture phase (or, in other cases, order processing phase) and the corresponding reference submitted to the productOrder within the productOrderItem for which the resource reservation was carried out.
Looking forward to your feedback.
