TCID Edit Values

With this enhancement, IMA will acceptonly valid TCI codes in the TCID field.

The restriction is being placed on this fielddue to the high volume of invalid entriesoccurring in production.



Ver. 3 11-26-02 8

TCID Edit Values, Cont.

GUI users will receive a drop down list of valid values to choose from when enteringTCID.

Current valid values are:

04, 05, 06, 25, 30, 39, 45, 55, 65, 70, 71, 74,75, 76



Ver. 3 11-26-02 9

Edit Account Number (AN)With this enhancement, IMA will edit field entries toensure that valid Account Number (AN) data is passedto FTS.

• AN entries will be restricted. The user must designate the TN they wish to convert, change, or disconnect by entering a valid TN in the AN field, placeholders (000-000-0000) are no longer valid for these activities.

• Placeholders will continue to be valid for ACT = N LSRs and Unbundled Loop CLEC to CLEC conversions (ACT = V) when the manual indicator is ‘Y’.



Ver. 3 11-26-02 10

With this enhancement, IMA will check for invalid FIDand/or FID Data in the Feature Detail field. If thesevalues do appear in the feature detail of their LSR, thenIMA will reject the LSR.

RCU

COT

AC

Ver. 3 11-26-02 11

IMA Will Reject USOC NLUXG with Feature Activity N or TThe USOC NLUXG is grandparented and invalid in the SOP’s with an IN action code. When a CLEC adds thisUSOC in IMA, FTS errors the order in the SOP for theUSOC to be removed.

When a CLEC attempts to enter the USOC NLUXG onthe Resale Form with a Feature Activity of N or T, IMAwill reject the request with the following error message:

"USOC NLUXG is grandparented and is not availablefor new installation. Please choose a new package."



Ver. 3 11-26-02 12

UBL Dispatch USOC

There is still some misunderstanding aroundthe use of the proper use of the DSPTCHfield. CLECs often request a dispatch whenthey don’t need it, or don’t request it whenthey do.

With this enhancement, IMA will now decidewhether the dispatch USOC should beadded for many LSRs.



Ver. 3 11-26-02 13

UBL Dispatch USOC, Cont.

CLECs will not be able to populate anythingin the LSR DSPTCH field for UBL, when LSRACT = N, T, M, C, or D.

Dispatch is assumed when the LSR ACT =N, T, or M and IMA sends a dispatchindicator to FTS.

When the ACT = D or C, DSPTCH is neverused and the dispatch indicator is not sent.



Ver. 3 11-26-02 14

Due Date Supplemental Category 2With this enhancement, IMA will automaticallyprocess SUP 2 (Desired Due Date change)supplemental requests on orders that have beensubmitted to the SOP. SUP 2 LSRs that meet flowthrough criteria will be sent to FTS (providing theSUP 2 LSR passes all BPL edits).

Qwest internal systems will modify the new DesiredDue Date for any Service Order(s) associated withthat LSR.



Ver. 3 11-26-02 15

Due Date Supplemental Category 2IMA will only allow the following fields to be modified by theCLEC for a SUP 2 LSR: VER

“This is a SUP 2 LSR (due date change supplemental) – only.”

• APPTIME

• DFDT

• SUP

• EXP

User (EU) form. The EUMI field will allow CLECs to

indicate move activity associated with a migration. An

entry in the EUMI field will be required for select

products, when the ACT field contains a ‘V’.
