Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
Currently each DPAS warehouse is required to have a unique RIC (Mandatory when external reporting is required) and / or DoDAAC. This value is used for routing DLMS transactional data between DPAS Warehouse Mgmt. and DPAS Materiel Management Mgmt. modules and to / from external systems. There are times where a DPAS Customer has an organization that has a requirement for multiple warehouses to manage different commodities that is not desired to have them commingled e.g. spare parts, tool crib, un-issued materiel with no avenue to acquire additional RICs. Note: The Department is running out of 3 character RICs with plans to replace the RIC with DoDAAC once logistics system are fully DLMS compliant (eliminate support for MILS format).
Recommended:
The proposed change will have DPAS implement the Planning / Maintenance Organization (Shop Service Center) name value as part of the warehouse business key. By including this value, DPAS will be able to use this value along with a RIC / DoDAAC to route DLMS transactions enabling an organization to have multiple warehouses without having each of them having a unique RIC / DoDAAC.
Mission Critical:
This change will enable an organization to have multiple DPAS warehouses which will enable them to have multiple Tool Cribs, Parts/Supply Rooms, Issuing locations, etc.
Benefits:
This SCR is identified as phase 1 of the DPAS effort to add flexibility to its Warehouse Mgmt. module. With this change DPAS customers will be better able to manage its different types of inventories / different physical locations within an organization. Additional efforts are planned to provide greater flexibility in configuring a DPAS warehouse.
