Abstract: Disclosed is a system that prevalidates service orders that are placed by an inter exchange carrier with a local exchange carrier for connection of the inter exchange carrier with a business customer. An integrated prevalidation system and service order system is disclosed in which prevalidation requests are performed using the data that is entered for the service order. Prevalidation responses are then used to ensure that the order will be correct when submitted, thereby avoiding, the necessity for expensive supplemental orders. Further, the present invention allows for stand alone prevalidation requests which enable a provisioner to determine availability of circuits, and to determine location information and equipment identification directly from the LEC databases. Further, the present invention is capable of reconciling the database of the inter exchange carrier with the database of the LEC to avoid submission of incorrect service orders. Further, auditing reports can be generated whenever a prevalidation response has been accepted and a service order acknowledgment has rejected the service order. These reports can be used to audit and obtain credit for the necessary supplemental orders which may follow. Also, prevalidation requests are reserved to prevent submission of conflicting service orders.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种系统，其将由交换运营商放置的服务订单与本地交换运营商进行预验证，以将交换运营商与业务客户连接。 公开了一种集成的预验证系统和服务订单系统，其中使用为服务订单输入的数据来执行预验证请求。 然后使用预验证响应来确保订单在提交时是正确的，从而避免了昂贵的补充订单的必要性。 此外，本发明允许独立的预验证请求，使得供应商能够确定电路的可用性，并且直接从LEC数据库确定位置信息和设备标识。 此外，本发明能够协调交换载体的数据库与LEC的数据库，以避免提交不正确的服务命令。 此外，只要接受了预验证响应并且服务订单确认拒绝了服务订单，就可以生成审核报告。 这些报告可用于审核和获得可能遵循的必要补充订单的信用。 此外，保留预验证请求以防止提交冲突的服务订单。
