PA Change Order Recommendation

• Change Order 31 dated September 17, 2004
• SP Enhancement Expand Query Options for
  Donation Report
• This change order 31 proposes that PAS be
  modified to provide an additional query options
  for the Donation Report. The only query option
  currently available is by NPA and gives the
  information from all of the OCNs listed on the
  User Profile of the SP requesting the
  information.
• The NOWG believes that this change order benefits
  the industry in giving SPs a way to further
  define the search criteria. The SPs would be
  able to obtain only the specific information
  related to their OCN(s) rather than getting
  everything in an NPA and having to re-sort to
  find their information. 
• The NOWG recommends that Change Order 31 be
  implemented at the same time as Change Orders 32
  and 33.

PA Change Order Recommendation

• Change Order 32 dated September 17, 2004
• SP Enhancement Modify Process for Deleting PAS
  Work Items
• This change order 32 proposes that PAS be
  modified to provide additional options for
  deleting work items from an SPs inbox. The
  current method is one item at a time.
• The NOWG believes that this change order benefits
  the industry in giving SPs a way to delete items
  from their PAS inbox in multiples instead of the
  current one at a time which is quite time
  consuming for carriers heavily involved in
  pooling. 
• The NOWG recommends that Change Order 32 be
  implemented at the same time as Change Orders 31
  and 33.

PA Change Order Recommendation

• Change Order 33 dated September 30, 2004
• SP Enhancement Modify Search Forms/View Form
  query
• This change order 33 proposes that PAS be
  modified to enable service providers to view only
  the forms that are related to a specified
  thousands-block when specifying the NPA-NXX-X as
  the search criteria. In addition, a new
  NPA-NXX-X column will be added to the Search
  Forms/View Form query results screen.
• The NOWG believes that this change order benefits
  the industry by having the NPA-NXX-X on the
  Search Forms/View Forms query. As it is today
  when you specify a particular NPA-NXX-X to query,
  PAS generates everything that was submitted on
  the same PAS Tracking Number. (SP is looking for
  a particular NPA-NXX-X in a submission that was
  for a 4 block request. The PAS report generated
  is for all 4 blocks with no indication which is
  which. See Sample Report) 
• The NOWG recommends that Change Order 33 be
  implemented at the same time as Change Orders 31
  and 32.

PA Change Order Recommendation

• Change Order 34 dated September 30, 2004
• SP Enhancement Modify Part 1A Report
• This change order 34 proposes that PAS be
  modified to add a column on the Part 1A Report
  entitled Part 3 Effective Date
• The originator of this request was attempting to
  find a way to determine when the Part 4 would be
  due for block assignments. Since the Part 1A
  report is the only report currently available to
  SPs in PAS, this was an attempt to secure all of
  the information in one place. Note The
  originator withdrew their request. 
• The NOWG believes that the purpose of this change
  order will be better served with a Part 4 report
  that was proposed in change order 25. Change
  order 25 was not recommended for approval by the
  NOWG due to the fact that the PA had not built-in
  enough flexibility in the search functionality
  used to create SP reports.
• The NOWG suggests that the PA should create a new
  change order (incorporating NOWG recommendations
  from 25 and 34) for a Part 4 report that lists
  not only the LERG effective date, but also the
  date the Part 4 is due for each block assignment.
  The report should also indicate if the Part 4
  has been received or not. (Indication could be
  as simple as the date the Part 4 was received and
  this field should be blank if the Part 4 has not
  yet been received by the PA.) 
• Based on the above, the NOWG does not recommend
  that this change order (34) be approved.

7
PA Change Order Recommendation

• Change Order 37 dated December 7, 2004
• INC Issue 458 Reduce Aging Period for
  Returned/Reclaimed Blocks
• This change order 37 proposes changes to PAS to
  reduce the aging period on returned/reclaimed
  blocks from 90 days to 45 days. There are no
  changes in scope of the PA responsibilities, just
  system changes to various timers in PAS
• The resolution to INC Issue 458 will require a
  programming change to system timers in PAS.  The
  NOWG supports this change order because the
  industry will benefit if blocks are available for
  (re)assignment sooner rather than later.
