Inventory modelling - Resource Specification versus CI

We need to model CFS, RFS, Resource and its Installed Base Item (IBI). Project is using OMT and CSM along with ITSM. There are 2 options:

  1. We can model CFS and RFS in OMT Service Specification and resource as Resource Specification. Further  Resource Specification can be related to Service Specification using OOB relationships. But if we do that then we cannot get the inventory in CI-IBI-Sold Product model.
  2. Alternatively we can model the resource as a CI which will be related to Sold Product via the IBI in Installed Products. But in this option modelling the CFS and RFS will be a challenge.

Please suggest on how to model the resource so that I can relate Resource Specification with CI.
