Archived System CR SCR041703-02 Detail

Expected Deliverable:

McLeodUSA expects to receive individual responses to PON numbers via an electronic format. McLeodUSA also expects that the transactions will come back individually. This will allow CLECs to match up the information provided after the order to the individual user and pon that was submitted to make the requested change. This will make the FBDL transactions more consistent with the other EDI/GUI response transactions. It will allow CLECs and Qwest to manage the individual responses appropriately. This will allow multiple users to get their own response back to the pon they specifically sent in. This allows CLECs with multiple centers to bypass the issue of only one Fax number allowed per the process that it an issue today.

McLeodUSA expects this be implemented with an IMA release.

Project Meetings

- February 13, 2004 Email Sent to Stephanie Prull (Eschelon), Michelle Sprague (McLeod), and Tracey Koffron (McLeod): Hi All, RE: SCR041703-02 Individual Responses for FBDL SCR103102-01 Change to Comfirmation Completion Report for FBDL Responses This email is to follow-up from the January Systems CMP Meeting discussions. During the January meeting, these CR's were presented for approval to close. The CR's were deployed with the IMA 14.0 Release, on December 8, 2003. The CR's are currently in CLEC Test status. Stephanie, You asked that these remain open until you could test them. This follow-up is to ask if you have had the opportunity to test this functionality and are okay to close them. It was agreed, by the CLECs, that these could be closed off-line. If you are not ready to have them closed, can you advise of what problems you are encountering so we can investigate. Thank you. Michelle and Tracey, These CR's were originated by McLeodUSA (by Stephanie). Are you okay to close these CR's? Let me know if you have encountered problems that are not allowing you to close these CR's. I am attaching copies of these CR's. They contain the meeting minutes. Thanks to you all, Peggy Esquibel-Reed Qwest CMP CRPM -- Systems

- January Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/Eschelon asked if any one has used this functionality via FBDL EDI. Lee Gomez/Qwest responded no. Stephanie Prull/Eschelon stated that she needs to test this and stated that she would close the CR off-line. Stephanie stated that she should have tested by the 2nd week of February.

-- December 17, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/Eschelon asked that this CR remain open. This CR remains in CLEC Test.

September 19, 2003 IMA 14.0 High-Level Walk-thru Meeting Minutes Excerpt:

Functionality Description: Currently confirmation completion reports from Facilities Based Directory Listings (FBDL) are sent as faxes to the CLEC for GUI and as the secondary notification for EDI users (for EDI CLECs, initial confirmation is received via the DSRED 855 transaction). The current process of faxing AC responses back via the confirmation completion report is inconsistent with the way FBDL and EDI work. We would like to see automation of this process so that IMA common responds back via individual electronic responses at the CCNA Purchase Order Number (PON) level on all orders with a status of Confirmation (AT), Accepted with Change (AC), Acknowledged with Detail No Change (AD) or Rejected (RF). This will allow for better tracking of completion responses and less chance for misplaced information. CLECs would no longer need to look to faxes to receive additional information regarding their FBDL orders with a status of AC. This will streamline processes for the CLECs and Qwest allowing for better resolution of the FBDL responses that currently come via the fax (for orders with a status of AC). This would make response handling more consistent with other EDI products.

IMA will automate the process for both EDI and GUI users and will provide an electronic response back to the CLEC at the PON/LSR level for each FBDL request. Additionally, IMA will be modified so that when a PON/LSR is returned with a status of AT, AC or AD, the PON/LSR will be completed within IMA. However, when a PON/LSR is returned with an initial status of RF, the PON/LSR will remain in a pending status for 10 calendar days so that the CLEC will have the opportunity to correct errors. If the LSR is not corrected within the 10-calendar day timeframe, IMA will cancel the request. If the CLEC attempts to resend/resubmit the request after the 10 calendar day timeframe, IMA will notify them of the cancellation.

Questions & Answers: There were no questions submitted for this CR. Connie Winston - Qwest asked if there were any questions or comments. There were no comments, questions, or clarification requested.

-- September 12, 2003 Email Received From Alan Flanigan/Time Warner: Subject: SCR012003-02 IMA GUI CR Per our conversation, this CR is being resolved under the auspices of the another issue that will be worked in IMA Common rel v14.0. It can be considered as closed. Thanks. Alan Flanigan Time Warner Telecom Senior Business Analyst

-- September 12, 2003 Conference Call Attendees: Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) Discussion: Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest) stated the purpose of the call is to discuss the synergies of 5 CMP CR’s. Peggy stated that the 5 CR’s have synergies and would carry the same status as SCR103102-01. Peggy noted the 5 CR’s:

SCR103102-01 Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL responses, originated by McLeod. This CR is committed in the 14.0 Release

SCR012003-01 FBDL Errors after Order Completes. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR.

SCR041802-01 Partial Confirmation of Standalone Directory Listings. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR041703-02 Individual responses for FBDL, originated by McLeod. This CR would carry the same status as the 14.0 committed CR

SCR012003-02 IMA GUI Ability to Template Completed/Closed Orders. Peggy stated that this functionality will be delivered with 14.0 and asked Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) if he would agree to withdraw this CR, based on the functionality being delivered in 14.0.

Alan Flanigan (Time Warner) agreed to withdraw SCR012003-02. Alan will send a confirming email to Peggy Esquibel Reed (Qwest)

August 21, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR has a relationship & synergy with 14.0 work for FBDL (SCR103102-01) and will carry the same status as the 14.0 candidates, and will close with it. Connie stated that this would not be on the vote list for 15.0 because of the synergies with the 14.0 candidate. There were no questions or comments.

June 19, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Connie Winston/Qwest stated this would be discussed with the CR in the Design Walk-Thru portion of this meeting, Attachment N. This action item was closed, after the Attachment N discussion.

-- May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting Discussion: Stephanie Prull/McLeod USA reviewed the CR description. Connie Winston/Qwest stated that this CR is in Evaluation because Qwest is analyzing this request against an FBDL CR that is currently prioritized in the 14.0 Release. Connie stated that Qwest needs to determine if there is a relationship and needs to look to see how much is similar in order to LOE appropriately. There were no additional comments or questions.

- CLARIFICATION MEETING - April 28, 2003

ATTENDEES: Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA, Bonnie Johnson/Eschelon, Suzy Enney/Qwest, Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest, John Gallegos/Qwest, Lee Gomez/Qwest, Berkley Loggie/Qwest, Jill Martain/Qwest, Denise Martinez/Qwest, Shonna Pasionek/Qwest, Kimberly Powers/Qwest, Qiana Davis/Qwest, Terri Kilker/Qwest, Lynn Steckl/Qwest

REVIEW REQUESTED DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest reviewed the CR description: Currently all follow up responses in regards to a FBDL order comes via the confirmation completion report. McLeodUSA is requesting that all individual responses come back electronically to the individual PON not on an overall report. This does include IMA and EDI responses. This will allow the users to track their individual work without having to comb through a large report. This will eliminate the issue of CLECs having to use only one fax number for their information to be sent to. Expected Deliverable: McLeodUSA expects to receive individual responses to PON numbers via an electronic format. McLeodUSA also expects that the transactions will come back individually. This will allow CLECs to match up the information provided after the order to the individual user and pon that was submitted to make the requested change. This will make the FBDL transactions more consistent with the other EDI/GUI response transactions. It will allow CLECs and Qwest to manage the individual responses appropriately. This will allow multiple users to get their own response back to the pon they specifically sent in. This allows CLECs with multiple centers to bypass the issue of only one Fax number allowed per the process that it an issue today. McLeodUSA expects this be implemented with an IMA release. Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest asked if McLeodUSA had anything to add. Stephanie Prull/McLeod stated that she had no additional information. Lee Gomez/Qwest asked to confirm that on individual responses, McLeod is expecting the same data as appears on overall report; 1 PON, multiple errors at the PON level, etc. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated yes. Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA stated that she is fine with the initial, the problem is when there are corrections. Stephanie stated that this CR is more for the GUI, SCR103102-01 more for EDI. There were no other questions or comments. CONFIRMED INTERFACE: IMA Common CONFIRMED PRODUCTS: LNP, UBL, FBDL

ID ANY DEPENDENT CHANGE REQUESTS: None. SCR103102-01 (Change to Confirmation Completion Report for FBDL Responses) is a separate effort.

ACTION PLAN: Peggy Esquibel-Reed/Qwest stated that Stephanie Prull/McLeodUSA is to present this CR at the May 22, 2003 Systems CMP Meeting and Qwest will provide a response, to this CR, by May 14, 2003.
