Description Of Change

In a separate, systems CR, Eschelon has requested a systems change to address the issue of IMA edits for 7-10 digits for Customer Forwarding Number (CFN) floats for features on Centrex lines. Qwest should develop an interim process to address this issue until a system change is made. Qwest should allow CLECs to use 10 digits on all orders, with Qwest’s Center editing the order if 7 is appropriate. Although Qwest has provided a paper guide to use for this purpose, the guide is manual and out of date. Qwest’s centers have electronic, up-to-date access to this information and can more easily make the determination.
