Pool Replenishment - CO Code Demand

When an SP/SPC user submits a block request in PAS for an NPA/Rate Center where pool
replenishment is needed and more than 1 block is being requested, PAS will bring up the Pool Replenishment Request screen. The Pool Replenishment Request screen shows the current status of the pool for the NPA and Rate Center for which the request is being made. It is important to review the CO Code Demand section of the Pool Replenishment Request screen. The CO Code Demand section show how many CO Codes are:
 

Needed: based on the current forecasted demand for all SP who have forecasted a need for blocks in the next 6 month. NANPA: if a code request (pool replenishment and/or LRN) has been submitted by an SP and suspended by the PA is waiting for NANPA’s approval of a code assignment. In Queue: if a code request (pool replenishment and/or LRN) has been submitted by an SP and has not been processed by the PA yet.

Even though PAS may prompt a SP/SPC with the Pool Replenishment Request screen the SP/SPC should review the CO Code Section since there could be enough code requests at NANPA or In Queue to fulfill the need for replenishment in that specific rate center.

For more information on submitting a Pool Replenishment Request and/or Split Request (receive a portion of the blocks from the pool and a portion of the blocks from a code for pool replenishment) please see section 5.3.1 step 3 of the PAS SP SPC User Guide.
