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, 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: This is based on the current forecasted demand for all SPs who have forecasted a need for blocks in the next 6 months. NANPA: This is when a code request (pool replenishment and/or LRN) has been submitted by an SP, suspended by the PA, and is awaiting a response from NANPA. In Queue: This is when a code request (pool replenishment and/or LRN) has been submitted by an SP and hasn’t been processed by the PA.

Even though PAS may prompt the user with the Pool Replenishment Request screen the user should review the CO Code Demand section since there could be sufficient code requests pending that can fulfill the need for replenishment for the requested 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.
