Description:
The identified capability gap is the absence of a single APSR-controlled process to identify retail materiel excess above authorized retention, complete required screening and approval, protect the offered quantity, and generate and track the required DLMS 180M Customer Asset Report through DAAS. Reliance on manual or disconnected processes increases the risk of inconsistent calculations, duplicate offers, incorrect routing, and incomplete transaction traceability.
USMC retail supply activities, supporting commands, ICP/PICA personnel, and interface-support organizations are affected. Without this capability, excess materiel may remain unavailable for enterprise redistribution, accountable balances may not reflect pending offers, DAAS or ICP responses may not be correlated to the original report, and policy compliance and auditability may be weakened.
he capability gap was identified while modeling the Level-4 retail excess process against DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 11; MCO 4440.31E; and MCO 4400.201, Volume 6. The process occurs whenever a retail activity identifies serviceable or economically reparable NSN materiel above its authorized retention quantity. Historical transaction volume, rejection rates, and processing time require baseline collection during requirements decomposition.
Recommended: Implement an APSR workflow that calculates and validates reportable retail excess, performs configurable screening and approval, controls the offered quantity, derives ICP/PICA routing, generates and transmits the DLMS 180M through DAAS, processes transaction status and rejects, and supports cancellation and follow-up. The expected outcome is a controlled, traceable, policy-compliant retail excess reporting process.
This SCR registers requirement to support the excess Customer Asset Report process. Key requirement features include; 1. Identify reportable excess using authoritative inventory, availability, retention, and open-offer data., 2. Validate NSN, unit of issue, condition, quantity, and Materiel Returns Program eligibility., 3. Complete required redistribution screening and approval., 4. Prevent duplicate commitment or disposition of offered quantities., 5. Derive the responsible ICP/PICA and transaction addressing.
6. Generate and transmit a compliant DLMS 180M/FT Customer Asset Report through DAAS., 7. Process routing status, rejects, cancellation, and follow-up transactions., and 8. Maintain complete transaction history, accountability, and management visibility. Additionally, DLM 4000.25 identifies the NSN-based Customer Asset Report as a DLMS 180M with Transaction Type Code FT, performing the functionality historically associated with the FTE transaction, and requires electronic transactions to be routed through DAAS. MCO 4440.31E requires serviceable or economically reparable assets above the retail retention limit to be reported to the wholesale manager in full unit-of-issue quantities.
