CHAPTER 6.0 - Manual Clarifications

6.22 RPON [Related Purchase Order Number] In Clarification

Explanation The CLEC has indicated on the LSR that there is a Related PON. The RPON associated with this LSR is currently in clarification. The RPON in clarification must be resolved before this LSR can be processed.

Example:
If a CLEC were to submit two LSRs with Related Purchase Order Numbers (PONs) - Z000111 and Z000112 - each LSR would reference the other's PON in the Administrative Section of the Local Service Request form in the RPON field. A clarification received for Z000111 that states "RPON in Clarification" would indicate a clarification was generated in conjunction with Z000112, the Related Purchase Order Number. Before PON Z000111 can be processed, the clarification associated with Z000112 must first be resolved following the steps outlined below.

Resolution

Review your LSR to identify the RPON. the RPON field is located in the Administrative Section of the LSR form.

Resolve the clarification generated by the Related PON.

Verify that the original PON corresponds with the Related PON. This could include ensuring that the RPON field is appropriately populated on both LSRs.

Resubmit both LSRs within one hour of each other.
