scope:

UOM-ASR Volume II describes the detailed analysis of the informational and behavioral model within a Unified Ordering Model. In addition, it defines at a more detailed level of the business requirements and systems requirements needed to conduct ordering activities efficiently over an electronic interface. This includes a blending of the pre-ordering, service request and post-confirmation activities.

Specifically, UOM-ASR Volume II-Analysis describes access service ordering as defined in:

• UOM-ASR Volume I

• Access Service Ordering Guidelines (ASOG)

• Multiple Exchange Carriers Ordering and Design (MECOD)

• Design Layout Report (DLR) Guidelines for Access Service

These business requirements are developed and maintained within the Ordering and Billing Forum (OBF) under the auspices of the Ordering Solutions Committee/Access Service Ordering Subcommittee.

UOM-ASR Volume II Analysis contains both the Informational and Behavioral Models that provide the reader a broad understanding of Service Ordering. Specifically, each model provides a dimension to the overall process:

• Informational Model describes the data relationships.

• Behavioral Model describes the data as it acts with stimuli/events over time.

Purpose

The document is intended to assist providers and customers in the process of conducting the analysis phase of their development steps to realize an electronic, unified ordering system.
