Hi Rahul
This thread might be of interest to you. https://engage.tmforum.org/discussion/quantity-in-productorderitem-in-tmf-622?ReturnUrl=%2fbrowse%2fallrecentposts
To summarize, if the product is serialized, trackable, and/or high value (mobile phones), you'll probably want to save the instances in the inventory, and each instance will be a separate entity (no need for quantity). If the product is low value (accessories, consumables), you'd use the quantity in the order, and you would not save the instances in the inventory.
For WiFi router, it's a judgment call - you need to consider business use cases that relate to the device after installation to decide whether or not to persist in the inventory.
Hope it helps

Hello,
I need to model tangible product offerings, e.g. WIFI Routers, which can be sold in multiple quantities on the sales channel.
How to model such a product offer, so that each instance of the WIFI Router can be uniquely identified on the sales channel? What is TM Forum recommendation to identify multiple instances of the product (under the productoffering) on the sales channel, shopping cart and Product Offer qualification.
