Hi Team,
A down payment is collected from the customer for a product with a high price. I would like your comments on the case regarding the transfer of the amount paid for the product to billing system by using TMF622_ProductOrdering.
Case:
When the product order (with TMF622) is issued, Down Payment (a certain amount of payment) is required for devices with high prices. The amount to be paid is calculated dynamically, taking into account the customer's credit profile/score. Payments are created by TMF676 and they are syncronized with billing system via Event pub/sub mechanizm (TMF688). It is not possible to keep the relationship of how much is paid for which product when the order is received to the billing system.
Since Down Payment mostly applied to instalment products.
I need to know how much is paid per products in order to calculate the montly installment fee based on unpaid remaing amount.
And, I also need to show incoming downpayment amounts on an item basis in the invoice PDF layout.
There is only PaymentRef on ProductOrderItem. However, shouldn't
the applied amount be on Order Item as shown below? If there is a payment on an item, I think it would be mandatory to known how much the applied amount is. Othervise PaymentRef relationship loose its functionalty.
