Archived System CR SCR051203-01X Detail

Description of Change/Exception:

Currently if the Service Center receives 2 versions of an order back to back they will respond to the newest version only. This is inconsistent with the way the system works today if an order goes auto-flow. Today by the service centers not responding to all versions this does not allow the CLECs to sync up their responses or makes it look like they are not receiving responses from Qwest for some of their orders.

Expected Deliverables/Proposed Implementation Date (if applicable):

McleodUSA expects that for every transaction we send we will receive some sort of response whether it’s via the system or the Service Centers. We expect this process to be changes acrossed all centers and all platforms. We expect this to be implemented ASAP.

Meeting attendees: Donna Osborne-Miller-AT&T, Stephanie Prull-McLeod, Curt Anderson-Qwest, Monica Manning-Qwest, Woldey Assafa-Qwest, John Gallegos-Qwest, Gregg Wachter-Qwest, Laurel Nolan-CRPM Qwest

Description of CR: Nolan-Qwest reviewed the CR description, expected deliverable, and impacts. She asked Prull-McLeod if there were any changes or additions. Prull-McLeod stated that there were not. Nolan-Qwest then asked if Qwest has any questions about the CR. Gallegos-Qwest asked if the response should be given when the LSR is submitted or if this was to occur only on supped orders. Prull-McLeod stated that they wanted the functionality when an 850 or 860 order was supped. She stated that they currently only get a response from Qwest on the supped order and not on the first submission. She continued that any time an order is changed to inactive that they wanted a response from Qwest. Assaft-Qwest stated that this would only happen on supped orders. Gallegos-Qwest confirmed that this request only applied to supped orders. Prull-McLeod stated that was correct. She stated that she could change the CR to make it more clear. Gallegos-Qwest stated that 'versioning' applied to lots of different things. Nolan-Qwest stated that Qwest needed to make sure that the CR was correct prior to starting the review. Manning-Qwest stated that during the original product/process clarification call that the team talked about notifications and determined that it might be best if it was automatic. Wachter-Qwest addressed the current manual process and that Qwest needed to do some further investigation on the processes tied to the active and inactive buttons. Prull-McLeod stated that they currently got responses through the flow-through system and that it was very fast. Wachter-Qwest stated that the ISC had the ability to also change the inactive and active buttons. Nolan-Qwest asked if there were any questions or concerns. None.

Meeting adjourned.

Clarification Meeting May 23, 2003 1-877-572-8687 3393947# PC051203-1 Versioning Process Change

Attendees Stephanie Prull – McLeod Monica Manning – Qwest Wendy Green – Qwest Woldey Assefa - Qwest Cindy Macy – Qwest

1.0 Introduction of Attendees Attendees introduced 2.0 Review Requested (Description of) Change Stephanie Prull – McLeod reviewed the CR. Stephanie explained that Qwest does not respond with an EDI transaction to the older version of an LSR when a newer version comes in when the LSR goes to manual. A response is sent when the LSRs are flowthrough. Cindy Macy – Qwest asked Stephanie why she didn’t identify the CR as a system CR with EDI impacts. Stephanie advised she wasn’t sure how to submit the CR as the process to have the SDC respond is a manual process but the response she needs is an EDI transaction. Monica – Qwest confirmed that Stephanie is looking for a mechanized EDI notification, but the generation of the notification does not have to be automated. Woldy, Wendy and Stephanie discussed possible EDI transaction sets that could be sent. The group discussed FOC or Rejct or Cancel but felt that these would impact the most current version of the LSR and that would not work. Possibly a new transaction set that makes that version of the LSR Inactive, but doesn’t affect measurements and the most current version of the LSR.

RE: SCR051203-01X Versioning Process Change

Qwest has reviewed the information submitted as part of Change Request (SCR051203-01X). Based upon the scope of this CR as agreed to in the Clarification Meeting (held July 9, 2003) Qwest is able to provide an estimated Level of Effort (LOE) of 2325 to 3875 hours for this IMA Change Request. SATE impacts are 10 to 15 hours.

At the next Monthly Systems CMP Meeting, CMP participants will be given the opportunity to comment on this Change Request and provide additional clarifications. Any clarifications and/or modifications identified at that time will be incorporated into Qwest's further evaluation of this Change Request.

This Change Request is an eligible candidate for the IMA 15.0 prioritization vote.

Sincerely, Qwest
