Copying a Request

You can copy any request—submitted or unsubmitted—to create a new request.

  1. Click either the Submitted or the Unsubmitted tab.

  2. Sort and filter the listed requests as desired (see Searching For a Request).

  3. Click the PON for the request you want to copy.

  4. Select Copy to New from the drop-down menu to the right of the form flow diagram and click Go. A Copying Request To New Request screen appears.
     


     

  5. Change information in the Identification section to uniquely identify the new request. You must change at least one key field — CCNA, PON, or ICSC.

    Note: If you fail to change one of the key fields, a “Duplicate ASR” error message displays and the request will not be created until you correct the error.

  6. Change information in the Automatic Entry section if needed.

    Note: Automatic entry of information in the ASR form overrides any information you have entered.

  7. Click Create Request. If there are no errors, a new request is created and opens in editing mode. If you want to edit the request later, you can open it from the Unsubmitted tab, edit, and submit it. (See Submitting a Request.)

Note: When you perform a Copy to New, the new ASR will reflect a copy of only those items still "visible" in the ASR you are copying from. Previously canceled or deleted forms that no longer appear will not be copied. Since your copied ASR is considered "new", REF NUMs (or VC NUMs, UREFs) in your new ASR will be resequenced per the ASOG. You will need to double-check the MSL, ACI, ARI or VC forms that have been copied to clear any "cancel" indicators (LEGACT, CKTACT, etc.) that might be inappropriately set for a new ASR. The QTY, Remarks, and EXP fields are not copied to the new ASR. These fields are left blank and you must populate them appropriately for the new request.
