Description
Currently the DPAS Warehouse module provides no method for scheduling a review of materiel being returned from an Individual/Unit/Armory Return as it does within the Receipts process.
Recommended
There is a requirement to have DPAS schedule a review of materiel being returned from an issue. SPECWARCOM's current system allows the warehouse to schedule an "Assessment" for each serially managed item being returned as part of the receipt/return. During the Assessment process, the user can change Condition Cd, may make a minor repair, and record utilization (Rounds Fired, Miles Used, Hours run, etc.). When a repair is made, the warehouse worker is given a screen of the BOM of the item. They select what parts were used and the system subtracts them from inventory making a record of what was performed on the item. In addition, should the item be beyond local repair, they can mark the item as to be shipped out for repair. A similar function needs to be incorporated into DPAS's Individual, Unit and Armory returns process. It is seen as enabling a QC function for these types of returns and providing additional capabilities with in. By performing the Assessment after the receipt, it allows the Unit to perform a return more quickly and allows the Warehouse to work the assessment as they have time.
Mission Critical
This capability needs to be a part of DPAS in order for SPECWARCOM to transition its Armory/Visual Augmentation System warehouses to DPAS.
Benefits
Enables SPECWARCOM to eliminate their current system which is costs several million dollars a year to maintain. This SCR is being submitted on behalf of Navy/SPECWARCOM.
Users
There could be other applications of this capability by other users of the DPAS Warehouse module. For Example: The USMC CSP has Generators and other systems that require reviews and records to be maintained.
