Description
Navy has many Site IDs/Accountable UIC's set up in a regional concept. Under this concept the UIC is a Region (or Center) and Custodians are actually UIC's with APO's assigned to manage the equipment - to their custodian account. ISSUE: These APOs have role access to a custodian account can only initiate Custodian or Sub Custodian Inventories in DPAS. They cannot initiate a Custom, Location, Cyclic, or Sensitive Inventory, if they initiate one of these Inventories, they will not be able to access that inventory.
Recommended
Change the security set up in DPAS to permit Navy APO's to be able to generate inventories for all inventory methods available in DPAS to include custodian, location, custom, cyclic, and sensitive and be able to use the manage inventories process to reconcile only those inventories that belong to their custodian account, as well as use the update inventory process for assets only in their custodian account. Giving these APO's access to the UIC will provide them access to manage assets that do not belong to their UIC (i.e.; custodian account) so that is not the solution.
Mission Critical
both critical and mandated. Navy Custodians in a Regional or Center organizational set up are independent APO's and need full Inventory access only to their assets.
Benefits
Improves accuracy and accountability of assets.
