Hi Ashish
Either approach is acceptable, it very much depends on how you want to run your BSS and OSS business - more specifically, how soon do you want to create service/resource instances during the ordering process.

Hello Jonathan,
Just confirming on your above statement, realizing service.ID or realizing resource.ID in product inventory point out to Service inventory ID or resource inventory ID.
In such case we have to either create service/resource inventory and associate to party/customer prior to creating product inventory
or
patch product inventory later.(it seems this is correct as per TMF use case)
Is above understanding correct?

Hi Ragavi
The inventory models point downstream. So in Product Inventory (TMF637) we see that Product has references to realizing services (in TMF638) and realizing resources (in TMF639). Similarly in Service Inventory (TMF638) we see that Service has references to realizing resources (in TMF639). These are strong, foreign key references. I'm not sure what you mean by serial number, since not all entities will have a serial number populated.
Hope it helps

Hello,
The properties in TMF638 Service Inventory Management and TMF639 Resource Inventory Management are connected by their serial numbers. What connections exist between TMF638 Service Inventory Management and TMF637 Product Inventory Management?
