Description
MDA is a Research, Development & Test organization supporting all of the US Military Service Branches. Assets are often transferred to the Military not knowing if those same assets will return to MDA for an upgrade, refurbishment or even re use. MDA would like to have the ability to reuse the same National Stock Number, Serial Number and Asset ID as previously sent to another organization.

Recommended
MDA request the ability to receive an asset back into DPAS without having to change the National Stock Number, the original Asset ID and/or the Serial Number. All the information will remain the same even after the asset has been sent to an outside agency.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical. MDA should be allow to use the same National Stock Number, Serial Number as well as the Asset ID. The same assets are being sent back to MDA with the same fields as the asset was sent to the services or outside location.

Benefits
It would save everyone time having the ability to return assets to DPAS with the original fields. It would also insure depreciation, history and the overall uniqueness of the assets remains the same.

Users
This would affect all users within our component and agency. This would affect all users within our component and agency.
