VFO Entry – Resale New Install
Introduction This document provides the necessary information for the required fields and the steps to enter a resale new install request – a new loop request and a Convert to a Port request.
Important Note: Orders will vary depending on the service and features requested. This job aid is only a guideline. Refer to LSOG guidelines for a complete description of fields.
Preorder An address validation is required when issuing a resale or loop new install LSR request. The address validation can take place via the Pre-order tab or the EU form when generating the order.
In this document, steps for address validation on the EU form are used. See the Preorder document for validating address using the Preorder tab.
Resale Orders -Overview of Telephone number assignment
Telephone numbers for new resale install requests can be assigned in two different manners – by the system or by accessing Telephone number assignment (TNA).
Allowing the system to assign numbers: T is selected from the NOTYP drop-down. N is entered in the TNS field. See example below. If system assigns the TNs on order - CLEC has to do a subsequent order for
directory listings. The system assigned telephone number is provided on the Confirmation
form.
Selecting a telephone number from TNA. The PON must be saved before TNA is activated. The user must copy and paste the TNA telephone number into the TNS field. TNA can be accessed only once per LSR. If the user needs to add additional
telephone numbers after exiting TNA or if issuing Sup, the system must assign the numbers (as shown above)
Note: A link to accessing and utilizing TNA is included in the actual steps within this document.

A second DL form is required with the LACT of I (install) and the new listing information. The O and I action in this scenario will insure that the old listing is removed.
After completing the DL form go to step 22. ELT is A (retain listing as is) or B (do not retain listing)
