[edit] Note 1: Lead-To-Cash (L2C)

This process starts when a customer expresses a need which can be met by an existing CP service, agreeing and delivering what's required, and ends once the customer is billed and CP the receives initial payment.

It includes “pre-order” or “order” management & “financial attribution” (including billing) in the NICC B2B requirements document. It is second behind T2R in NICC B2B’s priorities.
