In the event you backordered DID's
When you place an order which includes a backorder, the system creates a ticket which is sent to the BluIP Provisioning Department to be processed and also sends an email to notify the partner.
Each time a ticket is updated, the system will send an email notification. Tickets are also available for viewing at the customer level by selecting the Tickets tab in Orion.
Tickets remain in the account forever, however after 7 days with a status of "resolved" the ticket will be closed. To view closed tickets, filter the Ticket list by selecting "Ticket Status" and filter by typing in "Resolved" in the drop down box.
The Provisioning Department will order the DID's from one of our providers and add to BroadSoft
Once the number(s) are added, the Provisioning Department will update the ticket and the system will send the Partner an email with the DID number(s) that were added
It is now the Partner's responsibility to configure the number(s) in BroadSoft following the steps above in Section 2.
