MACD stands for move, add, change, disconnect: the everyday requests you make against a service, like upgrading a circuit’s speed, moving it to a new address, renewing it, or disconnecting it.
Raising a MACD request
A MACD is requested by opening a ticket. Use the Service Lifecycle support category and describe what you need, which service it applies to, and any dates that matter.
The Tickets area is admin-only. Depending on your plan and role, you may not see it. If you are a member, the quickest path is to ask an organization admin to open the Service Lifecycle ticket for you, or add the detail as a comment on the service so an admin can pick it up. For how tickets are tracked, see Tasks and tickets.
The change-order (MAC) flag
When an admin creates or edits a service, they can mark it as a change order (MAC). The flag records:
- A reason: upgrade, address change, renewal, or diversity.
- A type for the change.
Setting the flag records the change on the service itself, so the history of what changed and why stays attached to the service record.

Common questions
How do I request a move, add, change, or disconnect?
Open a ticket under the Service Lifecycle support category describing what you need. If you are a member and cannot open tickets, ask an admin to raise it for you.
Why can’t I open a ticket for a service change?
The Tickets area is admin-only. Depending on your plan and role you may not see it. Ask an organization admin to open the Service Lifecycle ticket on your behalf.
What is a change order (MAC) on a service?
When creating or editing a service, an admin can flag it as a change order with a reason (upgrade, address change, renewal, or diversity) and a type. This records the change on the service.
