Description
Need to streamline/improve the current Unit Issue Process. Current process was set up for multiple steps to be used by multiple individuals, whereas COMNAVSPECWARCOM armories typically operate with a single Database Manager processing all issues/receipts/moves/turn-ins.

Recommended
Streamline Unit Issue Process, simplify it to allow the following within a single (or very few) processes/screens. Ideally, NSW Armories would like the following streamlined approach to execute a unit issue:

1. Select UIC to be issued material
2. Select UIC Custodian (RO)
3. Select assets to be issued (user would like to be able to select assets by location, stock number, nomenclature, or serial number. Need the ability to have a variety of assets selectable by using any one or more of above filtering mechanisms.
4. Choose staging location for assets
5. Submit the issue
6. Print Issue Document for user to sign

1. Recommended Solution #1: Combine the 'request' , 'edit header', 'select assets',  'pick plan', 'material movement pick' and 'sign' into a single unified process.
2. Recommended Solution #2: Modify the DW04 form to allow the user the ability to view components of a managed kit or not. Additionally, need the form to accommodate more serial numbers than its current format. A typical NSW Platoon issue will contain roughly 600-800 serial numbers in a single issue.

Mission Critical
Mission Critical - Due to accountability mandate. Unit issues must be accomplished within the current time line in order to support COMNAVSPECWARCOMINST 8020.2A requirements. SEAL/SWCC OICs/AOICs are required to assume custody of all serialized armory assets issued. OIC/AOIC availability is limited due to training and deployment commitments.

Benefits
This will allow NSW Armories to maintain their current operational level of support with minimal impact to the amount of time it takes to process a SEAL/SWCC team load-out.

Users
Yes, this affects all users within NSW, not just Armory. Many of our departments within NSW operate their issuing processes very similar to the Armory.
