Carrier of Record is meant to show which Carrier "owns" the Product (phone number). For example, on Phone Numbers or DID lines, the Carrier of Record would be set to the LEC or Provider that provided the number.

Carrier of Record is informational only and NOT used for any Care Provisioning. All provisioning activity is driven by the Carrier information set on Charge & Plan Inventory records.
