ABSTRACT: The generation of an Automatic Message Accounting (AMA) Translation Audit Record (TAR), under clearly defined circumstances, will significantly reduce the amount of manual effort required to verify billing system information with customer line translations.

This document provides the view of Telcordia on generic requirements for the generation of an AMA Translation TAR that is triggered by Recent Change Memory Administration Commands (RCMACs). The document addresses all customer line translations including, but not limited to, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN)-capable, and CLASS features. Requirements are defined to account for changes to the customer's line translations through maintenance commands, and to initiate office-wide generation of audit records.

Revision 1 contains the new requirements for mapping the switch's internal routing guide to Billing AMA Format (BAF) layouts.
