  • 1.  TMF648-Quote-can quote item contain other quote items?

    Posted Jun 21, 2022 07:10
    Hi There,

    I was looking at the resource model in page 9 of the pdf - TMF648_Quote_Management_API_REST_Specification_R19.0.0.pdf . See the screenshot below of the extract I would like to know more about. It looks like a QuoteItem can contain a QuoteItem within itself.

    However, if I go with the swagger and generate an open API yaml from here - TMF648_QuoteManagement/TMF648-Quote-v4.0.0.swagger.json at master · tmforum-apis/TMF648_QuoteManagement it appears a Quote will have an array of QuoteItem but a QuoteItem can't have another QuoteItem within it. Can someone clarify the discrepancy or maybe I'm missing something here.

    Hi Ganapathiram
    I advise you, and all Open API practitioners, ​to access Open API assets only from the Open API table. I'm not sure how often or reliably the Git repositories are updated.
    In this link, referenced from the Open API table, you can see that QuoteItem includes an array of child quote items:
            "QuoteItem": {
            "type": "object",
            "description": "A quote items describe an action to be performed on a productOffering or a product in order to get pricing elements and condition.",
            "properties": {
                "quoteItem": {
                    "type": "array",
                    "items": {
                        "$ref": "#/definitions/QuoteItem"
                    },
                    "description": "A structure to embedded quote item within quote item"
                },

    Hope it helps

    Similar associations exist in several APIs using the "Item" pattern with respect to products: TMF663 Shopping Cart, TMF648 Quote, TMF622 Product Ordering;
    in TMF679 Product Offering Qualification, this seems to be missing:

    Is this an error or is there a reason for not having this association?

    Hello Lutz
    We have an open jira on this topic (https://projects.tmforum.org/jira/browse/AP-2698) for next release. We want to split POQ in 2 resources (like we did for ServiceQualification) for check & query. 
    We have not yet decided to add this 'nested' capability because we have to figure out how it will work with alternate proposal. As you know in POQ response you can have alternate proposal if the product offering requested are not qualified . We have some doubt about usability of the API if we add the nested there.

    Hope it helps
