Description
Currently, the way to document a publication for an asset is in the Property Accountability module and you complete this by the assets National Stock Number. This cannot be seen anywhere within the Maintenance & Utilization module. There needs to be a location in the Maintenance & Utilization module to add publications for an asset that can be viewable when creating/updating work orders and be viewable in all Asset Inquires.

Recommended
Create a Publication tab to the Maintenance Asset Master(MAM) record for all assets. This will be under the Details Tab of the asset. The fields will be similar to the PA module (Publication Nbr, Publication Title, and Publication Date fields) currently. With enough room to add multiple numbers and titles as needed. The publication information will be updated when profiling an asset and can be updated at anytime. This Publication Tab will also be viewable on a Work Order after the Asset Id is selected. These fields will be able to be selected to view in all Asset Inquiries in M&U as well.

Mission Critical
This is critical.  Fleet managers count on viewing all of an assets information to be able to make informed decisions to manage Air Force fleets around the globe.

Benefits
Allowing publications to be viewed in the MAM, Work Orders, and Inquiries will enhance DPAS M&U usage for all. Enabling users to be able to find relative maintenance information on a asset during it's life cycle. This will also aid in asset data integrity.

Users
This SCR will have a mission enhancement for all DPAS MNU users who provide maintenance support day to day.
