NANC 198

Unique Cancellation Notifications

Origination Date :02/23/1998

Originator:Bell Atlantic & Sprint

Description:

It has been requested that the NPAC generate a unique cancellation notification in the case of a subscription version being cancelled.
Currently the NPAC sends the same informational notification to designate a cancel status, regardless of the circumstances leading to the cancellation. There is no way to differentiate between a cancellation that requires subsequent action (i.e. NEWSP did not send a corresponding subscription) and a cancellation requiring no further action (i.e. self-initiated Cancel). The result is, all cancel notifications must be reviewed to determine if any action is required.

8/10/98 -- Sprint has requested that the NPAC set the cause code to indicate that the NPAC automatically cancelled this SV because the New SP didn’t send up a matching CREATE (within the 18 hour window).

This change order is related to NANC 240.

Final Resolution:

Func Backwards Compatible: NO

The existing requirement should be enhanced to include the status change cause code when setting to cancel for this reason (new text in larger print italics).

R5-23.4 New Service Provider Fails to Authorize Transfer of Service

NPAC SMS shall set the Subscription Version status to cancel and the status change cause code to a value that equates to "NPAC SMS Automatic Cancellation Missing New SP Create" when the Final Concurrence Window tunable parameter expires and a new Service Provider has not sent authorization for the transfer of service.

Sep LNPAWG (Seattle), the group agrees that this change order should state that the cause code should be sent for this situation.

All SPs will discuss internally if they want a specific cause code (listed above) for this case, or if one of the existing cause codes (as listed in the SV data model), "1 - NPAC SMS Automatic Cancellation" is sufficient.

Oct LNPAWG (Kansas City), the group has decided to accept the change order, and would like the new functionality in larger print italics that is listed in the proposed new text for R5-23.4 (the existing cause code was NOT deemed sufficient).

This has been moved into the "Accepted" category, awaiting prioritization.

May 00 LNPAWG (Atlanta), group consensus is to move to cancel-pending.
