Description:
Today, the DPAS-PA module utilizes iRAPT for external Dispositions/Transfers. Not all activities utilize iRAPT for equipment transfers. There are activities that use DPAS-PA that want to report transfers actions via DAAS using the DLMS 856S - Shipment Advice (DPAS to Non-DPAS Property Book Transfers). For DLA Disposition Services Actions, the transfers should be reported via DAAS using the 856S.
Recommended:
Modify the DPAS-PA Address Directory process to allow for equipment transfer/disposition to notify the gaining party using the DLMS 856S in addition to the current iRAPT capability. When the notification for the party that identified by the Address is via DLMS 856S, generate the 856S and place the transaction into the DLMS Outbound folder. The DLMS 856S will mark the materiel intransit pending the receipt of the 527R (Materiel Receipt Acceptance). Upon receipt of the Materiel Receipt Acceptance, close the Intransit and drop the asset from the property book. In some instances, the gaining party may not be able to accept the 856S or generate 527Rs. To support those instances, DPAS must provide a process to enable the losing party to close the intransit and drop the materiel from the property book.
Mission Critical:
Yes. As DPAS is implemented by other parties, such as SOCOM which has equipment transfers to other Services that use systems other than DPAS, there is a need to support other methods of notifying the gaining party of the equipment transfer
Benefits:
Improves Accountability of equipment by enable notification to the gaining activity as well as tracking equipment intransit.
Users:
This change will be available to all users of the DPAS-PA module. As a minimum, it should be used for all "Turn Ins"/ "Disposal Actions" with DLA Disposition Services.
Completed – Release 6.0 – 27 April 2018
