Tips and troubleshooting
Topic | Tip |
Logging in or Accessing the tool | User IDs will need a password change if you have not logged in for 90 days. A new User ID is needed if not logged in for a year. |
Finding the service identifier | If you have access to a Verizon invoice, the Service Identifier and Location ID are listed. Otherwise, you may search a few different ways for the Service Identifier while online. In Verizon Enterprise Center, hover over Service and click View Inventory under Manage service. In this section, the map can be very helpful to find the service. The link View Inventory has a search at the top and filter icons on the left.
Remember! You can change the search parameter by clicking on the Service Identifier dropdown. |
Adding service identifiers by typing them in | When you don’t see a service you are looking for, it could be that the service address has more than one Location ID. Or, it could be that the service is much older and it may not have a Location ID. Include these services by entering them manually and a Verizon representative will review them. |
Other ways to locate the service you want to change | If not finding service, try searching by service ID, circuit ID, telephone number, service address, location name, or location ID. Click on the caret to the left of the search field to change the way you search. |
Tracking the order | Once an order is submitted you will receive onscreen confirmation and email confirmation with a tracking number that starts with DR or CR. Search on that number in Verizon Enterprise Center by hovering over Orders and clicking on Pending orders under Status. If your order status list is empty, you may try to change the filter in the upper left of the table, or click on the funnel icon. You may also change the sequence of the columns and add new columns using the gear icon. |
