Symptoms

On Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management 7.5.0 patchset 15, when usingConversion Manager Tool (CMT) in the following scenario:

• There are three accounts with hierarchy as below:
  
  Customer Account: HIJKLMN (POID:29071184)
  Billing Account : ABCDEFG (POID:29067712)
  Child Account : PQRSTUV (POID:29074914)
  
  
• The sample input flist for PCM_OP_CUST_COMMIT_CUSTOMER opcode would look like below :
  

  0 PIN_FLD_POID POID [0] 0.0.0.1 /plan -1 0
  ..
  0 PIN_FLD_GROUP_INFO SUBSTRUCT [0] allocated 20, used 1
  1 PIN_FLD_PARENT POID [0] 0.0.0.1 /account 29071184 0 --> ##Pointing to Customer Account HIJKLMN
  ..
  0 PIN_FLD_ACCTINFO ARRAY [0] allocated 20, used 6
  1 PIN_FLD_ACCOUNT_NO STR [0] "PQRSTUV" ------>##Child Account Number
  ..
  0 PIN_FLD_BILLINFO ARRAY [0] allocated 20, used 7
  1 PIN_FLD_POID POID [0] 0.0.0.1 /billinfo -1 0
  1 PIN_FLD_PARENT_BILLINFO_OBJ POID [0] 0.0.0.1 /billinfo 29066176 0 --> ##information of Billing Account: ABCDEFG
  1 PIN_FLD_AR_BILLINFO_OBJ POID [0] 0.0.0.1 /billinfo 29066176 0 --> ##information of Billing Account: ABCDEFG

• Currently, using CMT, one can only tag "ActSbsc id="12345" parenRef="56789" " which represents billing hierarchy i.e., by default tags PARENT as Billing account "ABCDEFG" in Account Hierarchy by getting reference from <parenRef>.
• Hence the current behavior by populating parenRef and payParenRef tag can be seen as below :
  

So the question is whether there is any tag where one can pass the group parent information in the CMT input XML similar to what is passed in COMMIT_CUSTOMER opcode, that is, there is a need to have a link only to fulfill Account Hierarchy, where its PARENT_BILLINFO_OBJ_ID0 and AR_BILLINFO_OBJ_ID0 will be different.
