# Product Specification Resource Mappings
## Constraints and Limitations
Before using the TMF620 product specification resource mappings, refer to the following.
- While creating product specification, the record type is always `product` and not `class`.
- While creating product specification, the status is always `active` and isActive is `true`.
- While creating product specification, the life cycle status is always `Draft`.
- While creating bundle product specification relationships the incoming parent product specifications already exist in the EPC. If the parent product does not exist in the Salesforce CRM database then it results in failure.
- While creating product specification relationships the incoming relationship types are expected to be configured in EPC in advance.
- While creating product specification relationships the incoming related product specifications already exist in the EPC. If the related product(s) not exist in the Salesforce CRM database then it results in failure.
- The GlobalKey\_\_c is used as the ID for the product specification resource and the sub-resource.
- Custom metadata with label `TMForumProductSpecificationUseChildForBu`, decides the behaviour of BundledProductSpecification node. Default value is `false`, which means parent product specification to which the given product specification belongs to will be treated as the bundleProductSpecification. IP / DR will have mappings to reflect the parent product specification. Changing the value to `false` replaces the parent with the child product specification.
- Manually you have to change the mappings for the BundledProductSpeicification node. This change will have impact on all the APIs such as GET, POST, and PATCH.
- EPC product validation rules are applicable for both POST and PATCH.
- BundledProductSpecification - Incoming `id` and `name` of this node can only be matched with global key and name of the product. This is cannot be customized to change the matching criteria or to add additional matching criteria(s).
- productSpecificationRelationship - Incoming `id` and `name` of this node can only be matched with global key and name of the product. This is cannot be customized to change the matching criteria or to add additional matching criteria(s).
