ASA(ALT) utilizes the DPAS PA module to perform Total Package Fieldings (TPFs).  The Supply Category Material Code (Sply Cat Mat Cd) is required, this field initially appears when receiving an asset into the PA module when entering data such as the NSN; however, is not visible in the asset’s record afterwards.  

Army is requesting that DPAS make this field visible in the asset’s record in the PA module, on the BASIC screen, for our management purposes including but not limited to queries, reports, etc.

 

Visibility of this code in the asset’s record ensures compliance with DoD and Army policy in that only equipment meeting the criteria as accountable property is recorded in the APSR (PA module). The presence of this code in the asset’s record enables the ability to establish and execute internal controls validating this policy requirement and audit readiness

 

This process will allow us to better manage our equipment within DPAS and support our TPF mission, as well as meet OSD/Army Policy.
