Manual fault Raising

If you have not received a valid Openreach Reference Number, this can be due to data integrity errors which can often be resolved by using the ORDI tool. More information on the ORDI process can be found at:

http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/customerzone/ciz/home.do

https://www.openreach.co.uk/cpportal/cpzone-ciz/information-and-user-guides

On occasions when the EMP fault raising platform cannot be used due to planned or unplanned outages, system failures, or if requested to by CSM it is permissible to raise a manual fault request. 

The completed proforma(s) should be attached to an email and sent to CSM at the address listed at the bottom of the proforma (auto populated when “Circuit Type” is selected). The fault requests will be validated and processed by CSM teams who will provide KCI updates via return email.  Notice will be given by return email for any requests that fail validation.

Please note: - emails must contain single requests (one proforma) only; multiple fault requests can be made but will require an additional email for each fault request proforma.
