    Hello!

    In document TMFC039_Agreement_Management_v1.0.1 part 2.3. Functional Framework Functions contains only finctions with Partner.

    In our cases we must create agreement with clients, partners, employes.

    Is it mistake in TMFC039_Agreement_Management_v1.0.1?

    Hi Vitalii

    A lot of focus has been placed by TMF in ZTP (Zero-Touch Partnership) and the various types of collaborative market. This perhaps could explain the emphasis on partners in the agreement functional area. But you are correct of course; agreements can be relevant between service provider and any other party role (customers, suppliers, dealers, employees, etc.). And indeed the Open API for managing agreements TMF651 is agnostic to the roles of the agreement participants.

    I'll try to bring this to the notice of the ODA component team.

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks for the feedback Vitalii, you are right, there are functional framework functions missing:

    Customer Framework Agreement Approval 1180
    Customer Framework Agreement Definition 1179
    Product Agreement Storage 363
    Product Agreement Implementation 361
    Contract Management 653
    Partner Agreement Creation 1042
    Partner Agreement Storage and Searching 1043
    Partner Agreement Implementation 1044
    Partner Agreement Tracking 1045

    Please advise if you see any other function missing.

    BEst,

    GAetano

    Gaetano Biancardi, thanks for fast answer!

    I have search GB1033_Functional_Framework__Excel_Format_v23.5.0.1.xlsx for keyword "agreement".

    How about

    • Product Agreement Specification Design 360?
    • Contract Management 653?

    Ciao Vitalii,

    Contract Management 653 > should also be added to the TMFC039 Agreement Management 

    Product Agreement Specification Design 360 > It's already part of TMFC001 Product Catalog Management, and it should reside there

    BEst,

    GAe
