Overview of Local Service Request (LSR) Process

CLECs can send orders to Verizon for processing. Once the CLEC collects all the necessary information from the end user and the pre-order functions concerning the product and/or service being requested, the service request is ready to be sent to Verizon. This service request is used by Verizon to perform the required steps necessary to provision the service being requested. Verizon supports LSR Ordering through a CLEC application such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or through the Verizon provided online End User Interface.

Verizon complies with the EDI standard as developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and adapted by the Telecommunications Industry Forum (TCIF). Verizon's implementation of the TCIF guidelines for formatting an EDI message can be found in the Verizon Order EDI Guide.

Verizon complies with the Local Service Request (LSR) guidelines as developed by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and the Ordering and Billing Forum (OBF) in the Local Service Order Guidelines (LSOG). Verizon's implementation of the LSOG for formatting an LSR for ordering can be found in the Verizon- Order Business Rules. This document applies to formatting an LSR for either the Verizon Local Service Interface or an EDI CLEC-built application.
