IMA edit for Ineligible FID associated to USOC
(UR 3698, CR 45388)

With this enhancement, IMA will modify its
current
acceptance edit for the PIC and LPIC fields to
verify that
the CLEC has provided valid data values. Valid
data
values for the PIC and LPIC fields are DFLT,
NONE
or valid numeric codes (codes with less than 4
numeric
are left padded with zeros). Invalid values
provided by
the CLEC for PIC/LPIC are 0000 or four
blanks/spaces.
IMA will check that the values entered by the
CLEC for
IC and LPIC are valid by matching the NPA/NXX of
the
associated TN.

With this release, IMA enhances the current
re-send
functionality to allow duplicate copies of
current and
previous IMA notices (Rejects, Errors,
Jeopardies,
Confirmations, Completions, and PSONs) to be
transmitted back to the CLEC as a re-send.
The date and time of the original submittal is
displayed
on the duplicate or re-sent notice.

IMA BPL will perform the edits listed below to
validate that the SANO,
SASN, AHN, ROUTE, and BOX fields in the End User
Location/Access
Section will be performed by IMA BPL
If the ROUTE and SANO fields are both populated
by the CLEC, then BPL will return the following
error message
ROUTE and SANO cannot be used together.
If the AHN field is populated then an _at_ sign
must be the first entry for the SASN field or the
BPL will return the following error message
_at_ must be first character in SASN when AHN is
populated.
If the ROUTE field is not populated by the CLEC,
but the BOX field is, the BPL will return the
following error message
Route must be entered when BOX is populated.

If the product types Private Line, EEL/UNE
Combination, PRI/UNE-P
ISDN Resale Facility, or UNE-P DSS Facility then
the following edits to
validate that the SANO, SASN, AHN, ROUTE, and BOX
fields in the
Primary LOC and Secondary LOC tabs are populated
correctly.
If ACT N,W,or V, and the CLEC populates both
the ROUTE and SANO fields, BPL will return the
following error message
ROUTE and SANO cannot be used together.
If ACT N,W, or V, and the CLEC populates the
AHN field, then the _at_ sign must be the first
entry of the SASN field or the BPL will return
the following error message
_at_ must be first character in SASN when AHN is
populated.

With this enhancement, IMA will check the Local
Service Freeze Repository before
rejecting/accepting
LSR.
Today, this edit is located in the SOP so the FOC
may
have already been sent to the CLEC when it is
discovered that the account has a local service
freeze
that needs to be lifted.
IMA will reject LSR if any line on the account
has a local
service freeze to another provider.

With this enhancement, IMA will develop the
ability to
identify and reject, through a BPL acceptance
edit,
duplicate LSRs that request UBL, LSNP, and LNP
products. In some cases, CLECs shall be allowed
to
submit LSRs, which appear to duplicate one or
more
UBL, LSNP, and LNP requests in the IMA database,
provided they populate the appropriate fields.
These LSRs can be tracked in FOM by viewing the
values displayed for the new indicator DUPLICATE
LSR INFO in the Indicator Information frame of
the LSR
View screen shown in FOM.

With this enhancement, IMA will validate that
correct Hunting information
and format is listed on the LSR by the CLEC per
the Hunting activity listed
on the CSR.
HTQTY field must be populated on the LSR when the
LNAV, D, or X and
IMA BPL identifies the line as a part of Hunt
sequence by
Verifying if any of the TNs listed on the LSR
Request is on the CSR with a TN FID and is
Associated with a HTG or HSO USOC on the CSR.
OR
Verifying if any of the TLIs on the LSR request
is on the CSR with a TLI FID and is associated
with a HML FID on the CSR.

When Hunt Group Activity (HA) C, D or V, and
the
HNTYP 5 (Series), the BPL will validate that
the Hunt
Group Identifier (HID) on the LSR matches the
actual
HID on the CSR for every TN that is included in
the
HTSEQ field. If any of the TNs HID on the CSR
does
not match the HID on the LSR then the BPL will
reject
the request back to the CLEC. If HTG or HSO is
missing on the CSR for the TN being checked, the
BPL
will allow the LSR to be submitted by the CLEC,
but the
LSR will need to be processed manually.

When Hunt Group Activity (HA) C, D or V and the
HNTYP 4
(Multi-Line), BPL will validate that the Hunt
Group Identifier (HID)
listed on the LSR matches the actual HID on the
CSR for every TLI
on the LSR Hunting section and TER on the HTSEQ
combination.
For all the TLI/TER combinations, if any of the
TLI/TERs HID on the
CSR does not match the HID on the LSR then the
BPL will reject
the request back to the CLEC.
If HML is missing on the CSR for the TLI/TER
combination being
checked, the BPL will allow the LSR to be
submitted by the CLEC,
but the LSR will need to be processed manually.

This candidate implements a new LSR field from
the LSOG 6
mandate, New Construction (NCON). The NCON field
will be
utilized on the End User (EU) and Resale Private
Line (RPL) order
forms in IMA (EDI and GUI). Use of the NCON
field will identify
that the LSR service address involves new
construction or a new
location within an existing service address and
cannot be validated.
Business rules for use of the NCON field will
mirror the rules
governing use of the Address Not Validated (ANV)
field.
Consequently, the ANV field will be removed.

Order Impact
The NCON field will be added to
the End User (EU) and Resale
Private Line (RPL) forms. The
NCON field will provide a drop
down list with valid values of
ltblankgt
A New service address and
B New location within an existing service
address.

NOTE Use of the NCON field will be primarily
limited to New Installation (N) and Outside Move
(T) activity, when the service address cannot be
validated.

View 1000 CFA Units at a time in the IMA GUI (UR
3460, CR 44863)

This enhancement will
create a new CFA Inventory
tool in the IMA PostOrder
GUI. The CFA Inventory
tool will function much like
the PreOrder Validate CFA
tool, except that it will allow
CLECs to view data for up to
1000 individual CFA units at
a time, using group level or
unit level queries.

The new CFA Inventory, CFA Groups and CFA Units
screens
accessed via the CFA Inventory tool will provide
the same
functionality as their PreOrder counterparts,
plus provide new
functionality as follows
The CFA Inventory screen will allow a range of up
to 1000 CFA Units to be entered in the FIRST UNIT
and LAST UNIT fields.
The CFA Groups screen will allow multiple rows
(representing a maximum of 1000 CFA units) to be
selected.
The CFA Units screen will allow up to 1000
individual CFA Units to be viewed.

Currently, the CLEC must use C T or V
activity for existing features in the Service
Detail
section of the LSR. With the introduction of
this
change, the CLEC will be able to send all
activity as new, whether its a new, or existing
feature. The CLECs will also be able to
continue to process their Conversion orders as
they do today.

This candidate will only result in a change to
the customer if they
decide to use this process in place of the
existing process.
The final outcome would be that a CLEC could
issue an LSR in
IMA to Convert As Specified (V or Z) to UNE-P
POTS, and indicate
the service they want to have after the
conversion by using either V
or N. They will be able to do this regardless of
whether the feature
currently exists on the CSR or not. The order
will be created in
FTS by removing all features not requested on the
LSR, and
retaining or adding those features that the CLEC
has specified on
the LSR.

Currently when retrieving a CSR, IMA requires the
name and address fields to be populated. With
this
enhancement, IMA will no longer require name and
address of the end-user.
The screen used for CSR Retrieval in IMA PreOrder
will
be changed so that name and address fields on
this
screen will no longer be of bold type indicating
a
required field.
These fields will become optional.

With this enhancement, IMA will add the APP
(Application) date to the PSON (Pending
Service Order Notice).

This enhancement will modify the IMA GUI to allow
copy and paste functionality. By using the
Control C
and Control V keyboard commands, data can be
copied from most PreOrder/Order display and input
fields and pasted into any editable PreOrder
/Order
field.
NOTE Copy and paste functionality will not be
enabled for PreOrder and Order fields that have a
non-editable drop down list (e.g. State).
NOTE This candidate applies to all PreOrder and
Order screens in the IMA GUI.

Create IMA Field To Indicate LSR Is Change
Activity UR 3630, CR 44902
Currently CLECs must use a work-around to submit
an LSR when a conversion has taken place,
however, the CSR has not updated to reflect the
conversion and the CLEC needs to place a
subsequent order. This enhancement will allow
the CLEC to submit their LSR as an ACTC, which
would be the correct activity type and would not
be required to be marked manual handling.
This material may be used only for CLEC internal,
informational, non-commercial purposes. No other
use of the material is permitted without the
express written consent of Qwest. ?Qwest

Create IMA Field To Indicate LSR Is Change
Activity UR 3630, CR 44902

Order Impact
There are three new fields that have
been added to the LSR form
1. Conversion in Progress (CIP)
2. Conversion Service Order 1 (CSO1)
3. Conversion Service Order 2 CSO2

The CLEC will populate the CIP field with a Y
whenever they are issuing a subsequent LSR and
conversion activity has just completed on the
account. The CSR has not been updated to reflect
the conversion.
This material may be used only for CLEC internal,
informational, non-commercial purposes. No other
use of the material is permitted without the
express written consent of Qwest. ?Qwest

31
Change Validated Address Drop Down List (UR 3632,
CR 44868)

This enhancement will change all of the Validated
Address drop down lists in
the IMA GUI, so that the most recently validated
address appears at the top
of the list.
The following PreOrder screens will be impacted
Address Validation by Street Address, Review Full
CSR, Review Partial CSR by WTN, Review Partial
CSR by ECCKT, TN Availability, Design Services
Facility Request, High Capacity Facilities
Request, Convert POTS to Unbundled Loop Request,
POTS Facility Request, ISDN Facilities Request,
Raw Loop Data Query by Address (assigned or
unassigned) and Loop Qualification Request.
The following Order screens will be impacted
End User Form and Resale Private Line Form

With the implementation of this candidate, IMA
will derive and auto-
populate LSO data on the LSR form for those
products where LSO
data was previously a required/conditional entry
for the CLECs.
The LSO field will become an optional entry for
the CLECs.
If the CLEC chooses to enter LSO data for those
products where IMA
will derive and auto-populate LSO, IMA will
compare the CLEC
provided LSO to the IMA derived LSO. If the LSO
values differ, IMA
will overwrite the CLEC provided LSO with the LSO
derived by IMA.
IMA LSO auto-population will occur upon LSR
submission.
Additionally, the edit preventing the LSO and
APTCON fields on the
LSR form from both being populated will be
removed.

This candidate will provide links to the Qwest
LSOG for all ordering form
fields in the IMA Order GUI. Each ordering form
field label will provide a
link to associated field level information in the
Qwest LSOG.
By double clicking on the field label, a separate
browser window containing
the associated Qwest LSOG information will be
launched. After viewing
the Qwest LSOG information, the user will be able
to return to the
associated order form.
NOTE Field labels within the order forms will
retain their current appearance. Double clicking
on the field label will launch a browser window
with the associated LSOG information.

Eliminate Requirements to Provide Tie Cable
Specifications (UR 3650, CR 45325)
Correct cable gauge information included with the
CFA is a requirement for processing Unbundled
Loop and Loop Service with Number Port requests.
If this information is not passed via the service
order, it then requires manual intervention.
Additionally, if the cable gauge information
provided on the request does not match
information within Qwest legacy systems, the
order will also require manual intervention. This
candidate will resolve the issue by allowing
CLECs to enter either cable gauge information or
a place holder in the CFA data on the LSR and
Qwest will retrieve the correct value from the
legacy system and place it on the associated
service order, thus eliminating errors. CFA

35
Allow Appointment Schedule Change on DD Supp (UR
3681, CR 45322)

This candidate will modify the IMA Order GUI to
allow submission of
DD Supp on requests with scheduled appointments.
The CLECs will
be able to reserve a new appointment for their
request and submit a
DD Supp to IMA, without contacting Qwest to have
the original
appointment canceled.
Upon receipt of the DD Supp, IMA will
automatically cancel the
original appointment and update the request with
details of the most
recent appointment reserved for the CCNA/PON via
IMA
Appointment Scheduler.

This enhancement will modify CFA
data fields in the PreOrder and
Order IMA GUI. The PreOrder CFA
Validation screen will provide drop
down lists for each of the CFA data
fields. The drop-down lists will
contain data for the last 10 validated
values (minus duplicates).

NOTE The most recently validated values will
always appear at the top of each drop-down list.
With this new functionality, the user will be
able to populate CFA data fields by selecting
from the drop-down list, selecting from the
drop-down list and editing the selected value or
entering a new value.

CFA Validation Fields in the IMA GUI (UR 3683, CR
45323), Cont.

The Loop Service (LS)
and Loop Service with
Number Portability (LSNP)
forms in the Order GUI will
be modified with drop-
down lists for the CFA
fields.

Presently, a CLEC submitting a migration order to
UNE-P
POTS or STAR services with an Activity Type of V,
W or
Z must provide the end user Name, Telephone
Number
and Service Address.
With the implementation of this change, the CLEC
will
have a new option of only providing the end user
Name
on the order or if they wish, they may continue
to issue
the orders as they do today.

Currently, there are two reasons why service
might be suspended
a seasonal suspend, and a suspend for non-payment
(deny).
While two activity codes exist (one for each
suspend reason), there
is only one restore activity, which is B. This
can cause issues
because FTS handles the restoral requests
differently based on the
initial reason for the suspension.
For IMA this enhancement, the new Qwest specific
field Restore
Type (RSTTYP) will be added to the IMA GUI, FOM
and EDI to
differentiate between the type of suspension
being restored.

Order Impact
For the new Qwest
Specific field (28a), IMA
GUI will display a
dropdown menu list with
the following choices
S restore from seasonal suspend
D restore from deny
