Q)While creating new IN service, whether the existing Customer ID can be used (For example TVM SSA has around 50 such numbers  which are already billed manually from CDR using data manually taken from IN). For such cases, whether the existing customer ID can be used, instead of creating a new customer ID. (Eg:0471-2311130 cust ID 4011026881).

A) Yes. The existing customer id and Billing account can be used for creating the IN Service. But, disconnect the existing LL Asset available in CDR first (Which is actually an IN Connection as per the previous flow). for example, raise disconnection order for 0471-2311130 and complete it in dummy fashion. But if the customer wants to have Landline also then don't raise disconnection order. Simply create a new IN Service in CDR.
