Description
The Army and USSOCOM is requesting that DPAS standardize the Army's data using the Army's Enterprise Materiel Master.  The import of the AEMM will provide for a complete list of attributes associated with a Stock Nbr, not just SB700-20 attributes - current Army Catalog import.  The solution must support Mfr Part Nbr Stock Nbrs that are > 15 characters.

Recommended
Create a process that will utilize the Army's AEMM Web Service to retrieve catalog data.  To ensure compliance, there must be methods within the application that prevents the Army user of the AEMM to not be able to create MCNs, Mfr Part Nbr, or be able to catalog an NSN Stock Nbr that does not exist in the AEMM.  For USSOCOM Catalogers, they need to be able to catalogs items that may not be in the AEMM and for USSOCOM, their catalogers must be able to utilize not only the AEMM Agency Catalog, but also their SOF MDR Catalog simultaneously. 

Mission Critical
Yes.  Army desires Total Asset Visibility within AESIP with all items being known by Stock Nbr / Nomenclature from the AEMM.

Benefits
Reduces the effort required to maintain catalog data, ensures common cataloging throughout the Army.

Users
Currently it is believed that the AEMM interface is limited to Army and USSOCOM users.
