Archived System CR SCR062802-02 Detail

Pre-Order Validation will provide the capability for Qwest to receive the data files from the customer and edit the information not only on OBF ASR Industry Standard guidelines, but also rules specific to Qwest. Also included in the Pre-Order Validation process will be the capability to validate address information and CFA information. If there are errors, information will be sent back to the customer immediately for resolution. The return file will identify the errors incurred and will also include specific information related to valid address and CFA matches.
