Change Request: Process Improvement

Description: 

ELMS currently does not allow for Transportation Account Codes (TAC) value set to be added to, updated, or values deleted from within the Material Management (MM) module.  Inventory Manager (IMs) are often provided TAC codes to be used when redistributing inventory to other services or other entities from within the Marine Corps.  The ability to add, update, and delete TAC codes is inherently the responsibility of the IMs using the Material Management module.

The ELMS Material Management (ICP) module shall enable Inventory Managers to Add, Update, and Delete Transportation Account Codes (TACs) within a controlled value set. Once valid TACs are available, managers can select a TAC when generating a 940R Material Release, which will be embedded in the transaction (segment N9, code "TH") and transmitted to the appropriate Remote Storage Activity (RSA) for further distribution. TAC control remains with the ICP when warehouses are linked. Refer to the attached BRD for additional details.

Mission Critical: This process improvement is to allow for the USMC Enterprise Help Desk to make quick updates to the TAC Code to support emerging mission requirements. The DPAS Support help desk ticket to add a TAC Code has been determined pose risks to MARCORLOGCOM Weapon System Managers meeting mission timelines, and hence a User Update Process for this field is required.

Benefits: -Meets MARCORLOGCOM’s business model.

-Ensures Accuracy of TAC Code Submissions to support interface with DLA Transportation Systems.

Frequency: Daily

Users: All MARCORLOGCOM Material Managers, and other DPAS Users who will use this process.
