Description:
There are times when there is a need to add addtional items to a managed kit. Today, DPAS provides the capability for managed kits to be considered a complete kit when items are missing, but DPAS does not provide the capability to add additional items to a managed kit. The DPAS Kitting process should provide the capability to add additional items (items not listed in the SKO catalog) to a managed kit.
Recommended:
1. Modify the SKO Catalog for managed kits to denote whether additional items are authorized to be included in the kit.
2. Provide for the selection of additional items during the Kit build/update phases when the kit authorizes additional items to be included.
3. The completed kit form that lists the items in the kit should display the additional items and denote that these items are additional items (not part of the standard kit configuration).
Mission Critical:
This functionality is needed as often times the Army has are requirement to provide additional items in a kit.
Benefits:
This change will enable kits to be assembled with more items than the SKO catalog identities.
Frequency: Weekly
Users:
This feature will be utilized by the ASA(ALT) PMs in fielding of the next generation of equipment to the U.S. Army. It is believed that other DPAS users that are managing kits would benefit.
