Definition

Set this flag if you know that this communication number is not to be used.

Example

A customer has told a Call Center that he or she does not want to be called under a particular telephone number. Set this flag for this telephone number.

The Call Center example also shows why you should set the flag rather than delete the communication number. The system recognizes the caller from the inbound telephone number. The number is still required in the system to support processes for inbound communication even though it may no longer be called.

Similar examples apply to other communication methods, such as fax or e-mail.
