Have you pulled the inventory (*.ndi) file and looked at it with a text editor? Have you opened a support case directed to the Content Team yet?

Glad to see the discussion here since, on older FNMS versions, "Inventory Device Type" does not reliably differentiate virtual devices in AWS from EUC devices. Both are categorized as "Computer". Operating System, Manufacturer and Model are helpful attributes to filter on when you are stuck on 2019 R1, as we are for now.

I think that Partners content was purged. It was a dead end anyway. One was announced at one point, but it never materialized. John confirmed that it was never released.

I doubt this has changed.

Is this a known issue across all releases? All currently supported releases? It might be helpful to clarify scope.

Yeah. I imagine two scenarios: one where we know the BOM, as we do with the examples provided; and another where the BOM is not known, so submissions to the content teams get profiled incorrectly. This, of course, complicates purchase data processing. Automation may not be possible without verifying with reseller or other authoritative source that the SKU data is at the "lowest" level of BOM.

We have no guidance from the vendor or reseller at this point. This is not an issue that is unique to Mulesoft/Salesforce. The worst offender is likely Cisco in my personal experience. I had occasion to look at the raw PO data for this SKU today: L-LIC-DNA-ADD. We had already submitted this SKU to the content team, and they have processed it as Maintenance. However, looking at the PO data I now see:
Cisco DNA Subscription License for Routing Part number: L-LIC-DNA-ADD PRODUCT INCLUDES: SDWAN-CLOUD, PNP-CAPVBOND, SW-NETWORK-PNP-LIC, ISR4300-DNA, SVSDNA- C-ADV, DNA-C-10M-A-3Y, C1-VWAAS-6000-T, C1-ISRWAAS-2500-T
So, the parent SKU contains all those children SKUs. Without the complete bill of materials, no one would ever be able to make sense of it, though.

Hi, does anyone have any experience with deciphering and determining how to relate what appear to be parent/child SKUs in Flexera for Mulesoft (a Salesforce company)? I know I've seen this kind of ambiguous roll up with Cisco products before, but I have no experience working with Mulesoft (reseller = Carahsoft) SKUs.
From the SKU structure, one can infer that the child SKUs are "lower" in BOM than the longer parent SKU, but I think it is inappropriate to think that the parent "contains" the child.
In these scenarios, do practitioners process both levels or ignore one in favor of the other?
We had previously submitted the SKUs to Flexera content team for processing, but I think they (as we Texans would say, "bless them for trying") probably profiled them incorrectly.
Detailed example from PO:
- Part No. 100-0001-67 (qty :1) Anypoint Platform Base Subscription
Production vCore (qty : 2) Pre-Production vCore (Qty : 4) Salesforce.com, Inc. - 100-0001
- Part No. 100-0003 (qty :14) Additional Production Core/vCore MuleSoft - 100-0003 - Part No. 100-0003 (qty :4) Additional Production Core/vCore MuleSoft - 100-0003
Thanks,
David

Is there any practice or experience within this group for capturing or integrating or enriching NIGP Code data at the purchase end of the asset lifecycle?
