Assets are created, stored, and displayed in a parent-child structure that is based on asset offer types.
Customer assets consist of the following offer types:
Promotion: The marketing definition of an offering. Promotions include discounted prices and contractual terms. This is typically a top-level asset, known as the root asset.
Bundle: A group of services and simple products that are sold as a package.
Service: A group of related services that are sold as a package.
Simple: An individual product. Simple products have the billing service type of the parent service offering.
Example 1-1 shows the parent-child relationships between the asset offer types.
