Project #3277   Air Time Un-billed / Display the From Number  

We now Display the ‘From Number’ for the Incoming calls, in the Toll Information Screen Air Time Unbilled. In the past, when the Incoming Calls were Displayed, the From Number was (000) 000-0000.  If you still see zeros or blanks than means the number was not sent to us.  Contact your Switch people to see why.

Project #3294 – Non-Recurring Charges Taxes     

Non-Recurring Charges did Not Correctly add Taxes in the Phone Number Information screen based on the Service Order Type 2 code. This has been Corrected.  

 

 

 

Project #3297   Require Disconnect Reason when an Entire Type of Service is Removed (Everything on a Tab)     

We now require a Disconnect Reason Code when Approving a Service Order and a Type of Service (Everything on a Tab) has been removed. 

 

For Example if a Customer has TV Service and it is removed or Disconnected, but other services such as Phone are not being removed, a Disconnect Reason will be required for the TV Service.

                       

In Service Order Entry, you will go into Recurring or Non-Recurring Charges – Select the TV Tab as shown in this example.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will check the ‘Remove Charge’ box and remove everything from the TV Tab.  (Remove all TV Service Information).

Then ‘Update & Close’.

 

You will be returned to the ‘Phone Number Information’ screen so you can Continue to Update this Service Order.  Once you click on Update you will get the ‘Approve Telephone Information’ screen requiring a ‘Disconnect Reason Code’ and option to enter a Comment.  This will be required when removing / disconnecting any type of Service for a Customer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enter the Disconnect Reason Code and a Comment if needed.  Click on Yes to Approve the Service Order or No to save and Not Approve the Service Order.

We have created a Security Level referred to as Power Users.  This Power User Level will allow you to Skip the ‘CPNI Authorization’ in Service Order Entry and 2007 Service Order Entry.  First, your Security Personnel will need to set you up as a Power User.  If they have any questions on how to do this have them contact us.

**Note:  You will have to select ‘Enroll me as a power user’ each time you go into Service Order Entry Session. 

If you have selected ‘Enroll me as a power user’ and the CPNI Authorization program still launches it is because your Security Personnel has not changed your authorization on the AS/400.  Please check with them.

 

 

 

 

Project #3330    Auto Disconnect / Ignore Certain Error Codes    

When running the Auto Disconnect program, after we send commands to the Switch we scan through those commands to see how many of them have generated an error.  If there is an error we display this to you.  However, if there are some errors that you do not wish to see you can setup new User Edit ‘DISCONNECTAUTO   NO-SWITCH-ERROR-3TLR’.

 

Setup User Edit:

            Field 1 = DISCONNECTAUTO

            Field 2 = NO-SWITCH-ERROR-XXXX (Enter Switch and the Code in place of the XXXX. Example ‘3TLR’)

            Field 3 through 8 = Enter the Key Words we will Look for in the Command.

 

** If a Command has All Key Words listed in Fields, 3 through 8, we will Not display this error as an error.

 

In the following Example, If we are sending Toll Restrict Commands to a Switch Type 3 and an Error on an ADO (Adding) of DTM (Deny Termination) the Error will be Ignored. 

 

 

 

You can setup Multiple User Edits as needed.  We will look at Each User Edit Entry as its own Command Combination.  If Multiple User Edits are setup, we do Not combine the User Edits.

Project #3259    A/P Expenses & Cash to G/L Default For Manually

Project #3357   New User Edit ‘ADJUSTMENT-%  TARIFF-ALL-MONTH’      

We have created a New User Edit called ‘ ADJUSTMENT-%  TARIFF-ALL-MONTH’.  This User Edit is used to Enter the Tariff Codes when Using the ‘Adjustment Based on a Percentage of Recurring’.  If doing an Add, the Tariff Codes entered will get 100%.  If doing a Subtract, the Tariff Codes entered will get 0%.

 

 

 

           Field 1 = ADJUSTMENT-%

           Field 2 = TARIFF-ALL-MONTH

           Field 3 through 8 = XXXXX.XXXXX.XXXXX

(Enter 5 Character Tariff Codes.  3 Tariff Codes per line with a decimal in

 between.  If the Tariff Code is not 5 characters, key in leading spaces). 

 

In the Example shown, If a Customer has Tariff Code ABCDE or XYZ or A789 as a Recurring Tariff Code, they would get 100% Adjustment on Adds and 0% on Subtracts on that Tariff Code.   

 

 

 

Once you Enter Tariff Codes in this User Edit and then run the Adjustment Program, From Start1 Menu; select #1 (Customer Information), then #13 (Add/Change/Remove Tariff Codes).  – Select Option #4 (Adjustment Based on a Percentage of Recurring).

Project #3276   Verisign Changed Format 

Verisign (Formally Known as Illuminet) has changed the Format of Files Sent.  Only one Company has informed us of this change.  We assume it is OK for us to Send the New Format.  Please watch your reports for errors.  This applies to Caller ID Name & BNS.  You can no longer do Calling Cards because it is Not in the New Format. 

 

 

 

Project #3308Verisign / Combine BNS & Calling Name Delivery into a File     

We have made a way for you to Combine BNS and Calling Name Delivery changes into one File to send to Verisign.

 

 

   First you will need to setup new User Edit ‘VERISIGN-COMBINE-BNS   WITH-CALLING-NAME’.

 

Setup User Edit:

Field 1 = VERISIGN-COMBINE-BNS

Field 2 = WITH-CALLING-NAME

Field 3 through 8 = Leave Blank

 

 

 

This User Edit will Automatically combine BNS Changes with Calling Name Delivery Changes. 

 

 

 

 

Once this User Edit is Setup, when you run the 911 Processing, where the Calling Name Changes are Processed, the BNS Change Process will Automatically run and combine with the CNAM.

** Please Contact Josh before implementing SMS Batch Messaging!

 

Setup User Edit:

             Field 1 = SMS-BATCH-DOMAIN

             Field 2 = Leave Blank
