Open APIs

hi everyone,

I need some help on this below question

I have requirement to display the individual usage details using TMF 635

1.COTS GUI-90 days

2.Self-care portals- customer preference 0 or 90 days

3.Invoice -customer preference 0 or 90 days

is this possible based on type of application, the TMF API can produced the results (like any filter-based criteria) or same output to all the applications and applications need to be filter based on their requirement 

Hi Poshetty

It is indeed possible to use the TM Forum Open APIs for the use cases you have described along with the filtering based on customer preferences.

TMF635 is being deprecated from V4 onwards and has been replaced by separate APIs for Product/Service/Resource Usage.  In your case (1), TMF767 Product Usage Management could be used to provide detailed-level usage of a product.  For (2) there is the TMF677 Usage Consumption Management API which is a less-detailed, consumption summary, of the usage typically used for a self-service portal.  For (3), the TMF678 Customer Bill API would provide the filtered details of an invoice/bill.

For the filtering parameters/capability in TM Forum Open APIs, please take a look at the TMF630 Design Guidelines Part 1 and Part 6.

Good luck!

Hi Dan d'Albuquerque as  of now , we are using below API info for the same, so how this TMF767 is going to be different than existing TMF 635

EX:if customer purchase 10 voice mins pack.

TMF 635 -will provide each individual usage events (voice/sms/data) -Ex:10 voice minutes with detailed CDR info
TMF 677-will provide the promo pack aggregated usage at promo pack level -EX:10 voice minutes/used 5 voice mins
TMF 678 -will provide the promo pack charges for the defined promotions with promo charge -credit and debit (charge of the pack)

Hi @kallem poshetty

TMF767 Product Usage Management is V5, TMF635 Usage Management is V4 and will no longer be maintained from V5 onwards.  The resource representation is pretty much identical.  The reason for the split, i.e. Product/Service/Resource Usage, is for the ODA separation of concerns.
