    Hi Jeff

    Tricky one, this. It probably depends on your (the CSP) business practices.
    The simplest way would be to have an Individual (say the mother) playing Party Role of Customer, and the other family members playing Party Role of Product User - these other members would be RelatedParty on the Customer, and also RelatedParty on the Product that each of them uses.
    More sophisticated, but probably over-the-top, would be to treat the family as an Organization.
    Hope it helps

    Hello,

     

    I have a question regarding the use of PartyRoleGroup (SID) in the TMF669 API

     

    I've read through the documentation GB922_Common_v21.5.pdf (page 64).

     

    The problem that I see it, is that in the case I can not settle with one use case where I have an individual playing the Party Role as Owner/Administrator/Legal Owner, How do I create a PartRoleGroup that may or may not represent an Organization that has a legal standing or not?

     

    How can I return a group id instead of a PartyRole id in the TMF669 API?

     

    Appreciate any advice, thanks.
