TMForum is global association of telco and tech companies. Members of this alliance consist of several organizations and leaders in the communications and digital service providers (CSPs), telephony, cable operators, network operators, cloud providers, digital infrastructure providers, software suppliers, and equipment suppliers space. One of the primary goals and responsibilities of this forum is to maintain a set of: Frameworks, Recipes, Standards, and Blueprints to help align and unlock value and new opportunities in this ecosystem - holistically referred to as the Open Digital Architecture (ODA).
As of 2024, Broadleaf has joined TMForum as a member and will be contributing to and building out framework capabilities to adopt TMForum specific standards.
TMForum has very specific requirements around API implementations, and with those requirements come a lot of net new concepts.
In Broadleaf, we have separated these TMF-specific concepts into a series of extension modules that sit on top of the base Broadleaf framework. The details around module structure are explained in this article.
As an example, TMF687 provides a standardized mechanism and API in support of Stock Management concepts.
In Broadleaf, stock management concerns are handled through Inventory Services.
When you deploy Inventory Services and the broadleaf-tmforum-inventory-services module is available alongside it as an included dependency, additional endpoints and TMForum specific domains will be available for use.

version: [x.y.z-version]Once you’ve added this to your manifest, you can just run ./mvnw clean install flex:generate to update your flex packages accordingly.
If you are not using a manifest-based project, you will need to manually define the TMForum Extension Maven dependency in every Flex Package that you are running (e.g. browse, cart, processing, and supporting if running the Balanced Flex Package).
