Description
The DPAS DLMS Outbound processor checks to see if the DLMS transaction is to be routed internally based upon the RIC or DoDAAC To. When the RIC or DoDAAC To exists within DPAS, the DLMS transaction is move to the DLMS Inbound folder rather than being placed in the DLMS Outbound folder. With DLA planning to use the DPAS Warehouse module for the management of VA PPE, there is a requirement to feed Transportation Request transactions to VSM which will have the same RIC as the DPAS warehouse (same organization operating VSM and DPAS).
Recommended
Modify the DPAS DLMS Outbound processor to check outbound generated DLMS 940R transactions for a Distribution Code (Industry Code = AK) of '111'. When true, place transaction in the DLMS Outbound folder for DAAS to pickup.
Mission Critical
Yes. Without this change, DPAS is unable to route Transportation Request transactions (DLMS 940Rs) to the transportation system when they utilize a RIC that exists within DPAS. This SCR is being submitted in support of the DLA VA PPE project.
Benefits
Enables transaction to be electronically sent to a Transportation Management System. Without this change, it is not possible when the systems share the same RIC.
Users
This change will only impact customers of the Warehouse module that also operation a separate transportation system that requires the use of the same RIC as the Warehouse. It will have no affect on any other customer.
