Description
The Material Management > Material Release Order module does not allow for manual input of document numbers to reflect transactions such as equipment exchanges for depot level repairs and the Warehouse Management > Doc Number Range > Serial Number Range does not allow for ALPHA characters, only numeric.
The result is that when these transactions occur, outside systems (R-Supply > STARS > eRMS) must be used to generate the actual document number with proper coding which the exchanging depot also uses to ship replacement equipment back to the requesting unit. The system produces a different document number which incorrectly accounts for the transaction and the material release1348s produced cannot be used for shipment because they do not have the correct doc numbers.
Recommended
Request the option to manually enter a document number in the Material Release module (just as there is in the Material Management > Receiving module) so that during equipment exchanges they can be properly reflected in the system and the 1348s produced can used in for shipment of equipment.
Mission Critical
It is mandated that proper transaction documentation be maintained for receipt, release and tracking of equipment exchanges.
Benefits
Improves accountability, accuracy, financial reporting, tracking of sensitive assets.
Users
This would affect all Naval forces as well as those from other services.
