Description
Materiel Control technicians need to be aware of all open items that require their attention. Currently, not all Inspection Types display as Open Warehouse Actions on the Message of the Day dashboard. Also, the ICN Inventory inquiry does not display previous and upcoming inspection dates for all Inspection Types.

Recommended
Currently, the DPAS Warehouse only displays upcoming and open inspections with a "INSPECTION" action code. This capability needs to be extend to the rest of the Inspection Actions (cannibalization, inspections, Quality Control, Maintenance, Test, Calibration, Other, Assessment). Additionally, Warehouse Inventory Inquiries only display date information for "Inspection", "Test", "Calibration", and "Maintenance" Inspection Actions. This feature also needs to be implemented for the rest of the Inspection Actions.

Mission Critical
AFI 24-302, 5.41.2.6. Materiel Control ensures Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) tools are scheduled for calibration and certification according to TO 00-20-14-WA-1. Use a visual display board or computer-generated listing to keep the current status of all TMDE requiring calibration.

Benefits
Displaying all items requiring user action under Message of the Day will allow better management of warehouse operations and prevent any overdue calibrations/tests. Inventory inquiries with all previous and upcoming inspections will help meet AFI requirement.

Users
The entire Air Force component and other services will benefit from having better visibility of all items requiring user action and from having an inventory that displays inspection information for all Inspection Types.
