Description:
Air Force is currently recording its COMSEC/Crypto Equipment asset transactions in CDAS; however, the AF is transitioning from CDAS to ILS-S in 2022. Once the transactions are recorded in ILS-S, the Air Force needs to provide those transactions to DPAS (most likely the Property Accountability module) for accountability and financial reporting. Currently, there are no capital assets in the population of COMSEC/Crypto equipment in CDAS.
Recommended:
Need DPAS to receive, process and store the image copies of the DLMS transactions associated with these equipment items sent from the ILS-S COMSEC/Crypto warehouse SRAN. These transactions will consist of receipts, issues, shipments, condition code changes, inventory adjustments and disposals. Any capital assets within this population of COMSEC/Crypto assets would follow the existing AF processes for capital equipment in DPAS. In addition, need DPAS to perform end of day/end of month reconciliation to ensure DPAS matches ILS-S. It is expected the population of DLMS transactions will include: 527R, 824R, 832N, 867I, 945A, 947I, 846P, 846R and 536L. Also, 527D and 856 transactions may be necessary to record due-ins and track shipments to/from the warehouse. The 832N would be used to add new stock numbers to the DPAS catalog; the transaction would include the NSN, the Manufacturer’s Part Number, serial number and other elements per the DODI 5000.64. Additional discussions between DPAS and ILS-S re: sending transactions to ADVANA will be required.
Mission Critical:
Asset accountability and financial reporting is mandated. Need by date is June 2022.
Benefits:
This would provide accountability and financial reporting for AF COMSEC/Crypto equipment assets managed by the AF CCSD personnel in San Antonio, Texas. This solution would comply with the AF’s policy directing DPAS as the AF’s APSR for Equipment.
Users:
This affects the COMSEC/Crypto warehouse users.
