Description
During ADHOC testing of the DPAS-WM we attempted to perform an inventory gain as if for the purposes of having found an item during a directed inventory. The DPAS WM will not allow for the user to add material to the system other than through the receipts process. There are cases where it is DOD order to add material for other than receipted for reasons.
Recommended
The system must have the functionality to add material via the Inventory manager update process for gains associated with physical inventories. The lack of functionality on this end forces the user to ad the material via receipt only, which puts out a different SCS transaction than what is required.
Mission Critical
Yes, without this functionality DPAS-WM users will have to perform receipt transactions for gains associated with a physical inventory. While there is functionality to get the material in the system, this violates USMC policy on physical inventory.
Benefits
This update makes the DPAS-WM conform to USMC policy and allignes with SCS Financial Reporting requirements for gained and lost equipment.
Users
Adding this functionality will benefit the entire DPAS community.
