The telecommunication equipment order record includes a telecommunication equipment order number, a project number, equipment data, accounting data, schedule data, supplier data and shipping data. The creating includes populating the order record in response to input from a creator. The accounting data is transmitted to an accounting system for verification of the accounting data. A verification status is received from the accounting system. The verification status is positive if the accounting data is located in the accounting system and the verification status is negative if the accounting data is not located in the accounting system. The order record is released into an order database accessible by users in response to the verification status being positive and to a request from the creator. The order record is updated by the creator in response to the verification status being negative and resubmitted to the accounting system.
