17、esents the Ordering and Billing Forum (OBF) Billing Committee requirement to create a document of CABS Auxiliary Report Specifications (CARS) not associated with the CABS Billing Output Specifications (BOS). These procedures were cooperatively developed in the OBF. They were written in response to O
18、BF Issue 474. All changes to this document must be presented to the OBF General Session and accepted by consensus. The OBF Billing Committee is responsible for the on-going maintenance and distribution of this document based on resolved issues. The OBF is a voluntary group of provider and customer p
19、articipants who convene to identify, discuss and resolve issues, which involve the ordering and billing of access services at a national level. The term access may encompass Interstate, Intrastate, and Local. The OBF functions under the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) autho

21、e The CABS Auxiliary Report Specifications (CARS) are guidelines for providing standard reports and/or standard mechanized file layouts, where appropriate. These standards will not be documented in the CABS Billing Output Specifications (BOS) (this is a Telcordia copyrighted document). The following
22、 guidelines apply to report outputs that are documented in CARS. CARS will not be used for the development of industry standard report outputs for data that can be derived from the bill or CSR. Implementation of CARS outputs, such as timing, content, media, etc. will be negotiated between the indivi
23、dual customers and providers. 2.2 CABS Auxiliary Report Specifications Revisions This document will be updated as necessary based upon resolved OBF Issues as identified by the OBF Billing Committee. All text revisions will be identified by a “|” in the right margin. The “|” will be placed to the imm
24、ediate right of each line of revised text. 2.3 Related OBF Issues OBF Issues incorporated into the CARS document are displayed as Appendix A of this document. 2.4 Organization of the Specifications These specifications are divided into sections that document the details necessary for each report and
25、/or mechanized file. Within each report section, the following components are included: 1. Intent of the report/file, including OBF Issue 2. Report/file description 3. Distribution 4. Data element requirements for the paper report 5. Report format 6. Mechanized file record requirements (if applicabl
26、e) 7. Data element requirements for mechanized file (if applicable) CABS AUXILIARY REPORT SPECIFICATIONS Issue 8, September, 2006 Resolved OBF Issues that have been incorporated into this document are included as Appendix A. Appendix B provides definitions for the mechanized file data elements and A
27、ppendix C the mechanized file detail records. 2.5 Data Element Requirements Defined within each report section are the data elements, data attributes, and additional pertinent information necessary for the standard report. Data element requirements for the mechanized file records are documented with
28、in the text of each report section and defined in Appendix B. 2.5.1 Mechanized File Records Resolved OBF issues incorporated into this document will specify if mechanized file records in tape format are available as a report medium. Each report section will identify if tape format is available as a
29、report medium and, if applicable, document the detail record required for the report. All detail records identified within the report sections are contained in Appendix C. 2.5.2 Tape Description A tape report may be provided on a separate file or included as an addendum to the Billing Data Tape. Whe
30、n provided, the tape will contain records that are fixed length (225 bytes) and will use labels consistent with standard IBM Operating Systems. 2.5.3 File Organization Each file will consist of a pack of data. A pack consists of a pack header record followed by detail record(s) followed by a pack tr
31、ailer record. A pack header record consists of customer and provider identification data along with control information. The detail records contain the same information that is displayed on the paper report. The pack trailer record consists of record counts and other control information about the pa
32、ck. CABS AUXILIARY REPORT SPECIFICATIONS Issue 8, September, 2006 2.5.4 Data Format In general, the following rules apply to individual data fields, unless otherwise stated in the report section: Fields are defined as alphanumeric (X) or numeric (9). Alphanumeric fields will be left justified and bl
33、ank filled. Numeric fields will be right justified and zero filled. Signed numeric fields will be decimally aligned and will contain appropriate positive or negative identification in the zone bits of the right-most character. Dates are presented in the format, year, month, date (CCYYMMDD); e.g., Ju
34、ly 14, 1999 would be “19990714”. CABS AUXILIARY REPORT SPECIFICATIONS Issue 8, September, 2006 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIALLY BLANKCABS AUXILIARY REPORT SPECIFICATIONS Issue 8, September, 2006 3.0 NPA/NXX LINE NUMBER RANGE TO END OFFICE DATA 3.1 Intent of Report/File This report/file is requested, per O
35、BF Issue 474, to identify the NPA/NXX Line Number Ranges (LNR) that are associated with each CLLI code. This data will apply to all Types of Accounts having usage data. (This data was expanded from FGB, C, and D only with OBF Issue XXXX.) and represent the NPA/NXX LNRs that could have contributed to
36、 the usage accumulation on the CABS bill during the billing period. Due to various conditions, e.g., NPA/NXX LNR changes during the month, the report may not represent the actual NPA/NXX LNR that are found on the CABS bill. NPA/NXX LNR data will be a snapshot of that which is reflected on the Provid
37、er Company Names End Office Table at the time of billing. This snapshot may include the CLLIs, NPA/NXX LNRs that appear on the current bill, or may include an entire “dump” of all CLLIs and NPA/NXX LNRs on the LECs End Office Table. For each CLLI code, all NPA/NXX LNR data should be grouped together
38、. Each NPA/NXX LNR should be associated with only one CLLI-the CLLI where billing occurred, unless historical data is provided. If historical data is provided EFFECTIVE DATES and END DATES are required on the multiple entries. The current entry will have no end date. Line number ranges that have bee
39、n unbundled will not be included in this data. The NPA/NXX LNR data may be provided at least once a month. Each provider will determine the day of the month this data will be provided and notify the customer; the schedule will remain constant from month to month. NPA/NXX LNR data may be provided sep
40、arately from each processing center within a company or provided on one report/file which includes the entire company. This will be negotiated between the individual customers and providers. The information provided by the end office company in a multiple bill meetpoint environment will not be provi
41、ded by the other companies on the route. There will be no requirement for the presentation of NPA/NXX LNR data where no requirement exists to file these in NECA #4, for example, host/remote. The NPA/NXX LNR data provided via CARS outputs should not be used as the sole basis for filing billing claims
42、. The bill remains as the official document for filing any claims. CABS AUXILIARY REPORT SPECIFICATIONS Issue 8, September, 2006 3.2 Report Description The provider may provide the NPA/NXX LNR to End Office Data to the customer in either paper or tape format. It will be the responsibility of the cus
43、tomer to contact the provider and request the appropriate medium. The tape report may be provided on a separate file or included as an addendum to the Billing Data Tape. When tape is chosen by the customer as the report medium, it will be the responsibility of the provider to specify whenever the re
44、port will be on a separate file, or included as an addendum to the Billing Data Tape (BDT). In no case should more than one file be included on a single physical tape. That is, if the report is appended to the BDT, the Category 70 records should follow the Category 10 records (and Category 40 record
45、s if present) and precede the 99-99-99 file trailer record. A single physical tape must never contain more than one file trailer record. 3.3 Distribution The NPA/NXX LNR to End Office report/file should be produced at least once per month. If the providers end office table is updated more than once
46、a month and historical data is not provided, the report/file should be produced per table update, or on a bill period basis, or in accordance with other negotiated schedules. Distribution of the NPA/NXX LNR to End Office report/file should occur within ten (10) calendar days after the negotiated sch
47、eduled date(s).
