Description:
The current Customer Profile process in Materiel Mgmt. support a single profile / customer. There is a requirement to support multiple profiles based upon the type of materiel being pushed. For example: Equipment Fielding requires a different Distribution Code than Operating Materiel and Supplies. The Customer Profile process is also difficult to manage given that the Customer Profile records must be created for each ICP. For the Army PEIO ICPS, they are all the same.
Recommended:
1. Add a Customer Profile Type "dropdown" to the customer profile process and to the Customer Requisition Add process to enable the user to select the profile required to support the requisition. Initial drop down should be populated with: PPE - Plant Property & Equipment and OM&S - Operating Materiel & Supplies. Consider creating customer profiles by "Collection" with each ICP being able to define the "Collection" of Customer Profiles they wish to use, thus enable each ICP to have their own collection, or allow the Army PEOs to use a single collection (similar to how catalogs are aligned at the PA Site level).
Mission Critical:
GCSS-Army is to implement a change in Aug 2022 to enable fielding of OM&S. The user will be able to modify/update the Distribution Code in the requisition screen, but the chance of error to not input or update it to the correct value is high.
Benefits:
Ideally this change would improve the fielding process for ASA(ALT) allowing them to store/select multiple profiles / Customer (DoDAAC), thus reduce input and chance of error.
Users:
All uses who perform push requisitions will benefit by this change.
Completed – Release 2023.3.3 – 11 August 2023
