To cancel an order on the Openreach portal:

1.    Login to the portal

2.    Enter the Siebel order reference into the relevant dialogue box:

3.    Confirm you’ve selected the correct order, and then click on the “Cancel” button to proceed.

4.     Confirm a cancellation reason and then submit the request.  

If you are cancelling your own order (eg: a new FTTP provide order for your company), then you should use the cancellation reason:  ‘Order cancelled by operator.’

If you are cancelling an order as the Losing CP, (eg: a managed cease order placed by another service provider), then you should choose the most appropriate reason from the list of other reasons:

9111 - CURRENT CP INFLIGHT ORDER

9120 - NO AUTH TO TRANSFER

9150 - CUSTOMER NEVER CONTACTED

9160 – DELIBERATE ATEMPT TO MISLEAD

9170 - PURCHASED A DIFF PROD

9180 - FAILURE TO CANCEL

9190 - END USER NOT MOVING

5.    Upon submission, our system will validate the request, issue the necessary cancellation instructions to any open tasks in our operational orchestration tools and you’ll be issued KCI 1519 confirming that the cancellation has completed.

Openreach desk-based teams cannot manually cancel an order if you request cancellation after the point of no return.  If this is required, we will trigger an order delay that will trigger an automatic cancellation after a few days of inactivity.  Additional KCIs will be issued notifying the reason for automatic cancellation.
