    I am working on TMF637 Product Inventory management system in that I need to relate the entities of  software product so I need to capture information such subscription details, plan types etc...
    And also incase of hardware products I need to manage number of products in spare and products under repair . Is there is any other domain which covers all of these ?

    Hi Ragavi

    Some clarifications might be useful here:
    • Product Inventory (TMF637) stores instances of products that have been assigned to customers (or perhaps to other party roles). You would not store your stock details in the product inventory
    • You could use a Resource Inventory (TMF639) to manage various network and tangible resources, including stock. But recently we released a new(-ish) API dedicated to stock management, TMF687
    Bear in mind that the inventory APIs are driven/controlled/backed by the corresponding catalog APIs, where you create specifications (templates if you like) for the inventory items.

    Hope it helps
