A method includes retrieving a first data set from a billing system
configured to facilitate a billing operation associated with a network.
The first data set includes a plurality of billing records, which
includes a first billing record associated with and including a field
identifying a first circuit from a plurality of circuits included within
the network. A second data set is retrieved from a configuration
management system configured to facilitate an operation associated with
the network. The second data set includes a plurality of configuration
records, which includes a first configuration record associated with and
including a field identifying the first circuit. When the field
identifying the first circuit included in the first configuration record
differs from the field identifying the first circuit included in the
first billing record, a correct identifier associated with the first
circuit is determined. When such a discrepancy exists, a report is
produced.
