When navigating to Inquiries and then Issue/Return Activity, issue, return, and charge transactions are not visible by default and require expanding the arrow for each transaction to view the details.

 

 Configure the Issue/Return Activity screen to display issue, return, and charge transactions by default, eliminating the need to expand the arrow for each transaction. The current Issue with Return Details view is close to the desired outcome; however, the goal is to display all transactions line by line without requiring users to expand each entry to view returns, issues, or charges. All existing columns—such as cost, issuer, item, and related details—are already correct and should remain unchanged.

 

 

 

Frequency: Daily

 

Users: This system is used daily to review and manage issue, return, and charge transactions as part of regular operational workflows. Users rely on it to quickly access complete transaction details, verify accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and support timely decision-making. Because the system is a routine part of daily work, clear visibility of all transaction types is essential to ensure efficient reviews, reduce delays, and maintain accuracy across ongoing operations.

ELMS sends Property Accountability and Warehouse materiel / assets to Advana as part of its Asset Feed each Saturday and the first of the month.  It does not send materiel / assets that are managed by Contractor Operated Inventory Control Points (C-ICPs) or materiel managed by External Remote Storage Activities e.g. DLA, Army, Navy, etc. that are being reported to the ELMS Materiel Mgmt. application.  Including this materiel in the data feed will provide full visibility to the owners.

 

1. Add materiel / assets to the ELMS Advana Asset Feed that are not managed within ELMS, but are reported to ELMS Materiel Mgmt.  Client Cd 'C', 'E' and 'R' apply.
2. Make the same extract available to other entities that utilize the same feed e.g. Vantage, LDS/MDR, SOLMAN, NSWC, etc. should they wish to receive this data as part of the ELMS feed.

DAF CICPs send 846P and 846R transactions into ELMS each day and month for a two-part reconciliation.  First part consists of 846P transactions providing an end of day transaction count.  The second part consists of 846R transactions providing an end of day inventory report.  If either part fails reconciliation, ELMS flags with a red indicator.  The reconciliation depends on users to trigger follow-up actions to correct situations causing the failure.  DAF recommends automating those follow-up actions to enable a system-to-system reconciliation that removes user intervention.  This will enable more accurate and complete inventory balances and their supporting transactions in ELMS.  This will improve financial reporting accuracy for the DAF.

 

Recommend that ELMS ICP module adds automated follow-up actions for reconciliation failures.  For the end of day transaction counts: if the reconciliation fails, ELMS should send a transaction history request to the CICP’s system for the failed transaction set.  The CICP’s system will return all the transactions for the failed transaction set for that day (marked with W1 in the appropriate action code field).  ELMS will identify the missing transaction(s) and process those as if they were received that day.  This will clear the reconciliation failure and potentially reduce the number of end of day/end of month inventory balance mismatches.  For the end of day/end of month inventory balances: if the reconciliation fails, ELMS will send inventory request transaction(s) to the CICP’S system for the mismatched stock numbers.  The CICP’s system will return the end of day/end of month inventory position by stock number.  ELMS will use those inventory balances to create 947I Inventory Adjustment transactions to update the balances to match the CICP’s system balance.

• To verify a cadet’s account history prior to issuing an item, staff must navigate to the Return screen, then switch back to the Issue screen.

• Item cost and charge information is not visible during the issue/return process and must be accessed through other systems or screens.

• These steps add approximately one minute per cadet and significantly slow down operations during high-volume periods.

 

The requested functionality includes creating a single unified Issue and Return screen that combines both processes into one interface, allowing staff to remain in Issue or Return mode—or perform issuing, returning, and charging simultaneously—after scanning a cadet’s CAC card, eliminating the need to switch tabs. Upon scanning, the system should immediately display the cadet’s full issue and return history on the same screen, including currently issued items and prior transactions, enabling staff to prevent duplicate issues such as issuing a second ruck when one is already on record. The interface should also provide item cost and potential charge transparency by displaying pricing information as each item is scanned, recording those costs in the cadet’s history for audit and accountability purposes, and reducing confusion or disputes over replacement or loss charges. Overall operational efficiency should be improved by enabling account verification, pricing review, and item issuing or returning from a single screen, reducing processing time per cadet. Additionally, the system should reintroduce an account lock or alert feature similar to the legacy system, with prominent red warnings for locked accounts (ex, “Lost saber – replacement already issued”) and the ability for staff to add notes to cadet accounts, helping prevent duplicate issues, conflicts, and frustration for both staff and cadets.

 

The process of improvement focuses on streamlining and enhancing the Issue and Return workflow by consolidating functionality into a single, unified screen. By combining issuing, returning, and charging actions within one interface, staff can complete all related tasks without switching tabs, reducing complexity and errors. Immediate visibility of a cadet’s full issue and return history upon CAC scan improves decision-making and prevents duplicate item issuance. Displaying item costs and potential charges at the time of scanning increases transparency, strengthens accountability, and minimizes disputes related to lost or replacement items. Operational efficiency is further improved by enabling account verification, pricing review, and transactions from a single screen, reducing processing time per cadet and increasing throughput. Reintroducing an account lock and alert mechanism with prominent warnings and staff notes enhances control, prevents repeat issues, and supports consistent enforcement of policies, resulting in a more efficient, accurate, and user-friendly system overall.

When an asset comes in for routine or non-routine maintenance and the asset is under warranty current capability within work order provides the ability to mark the work order as being “Serviced By” external organizations. However, the current capability is limited to only marking that the asset is being serviced by an external organization and does not accommodate the ability to show the asset as being shipped to the external organization and print the DD1149 for shipment. It also leaves the associated WM Inventory record in WM Inventory even though the ICN is no longer on hand but is instead shipped to the servicer.

ASA(ALT) current applications provide functionality specifically for Inventory/Asset Modifications for both Kits as well as for end items (un-kitted). These Modification work orders provides for the ability to make modifications to numerous end items which may or may not result in a re-identification of the stock number associated to the end item. DPAS does provide re-identification functionality within Warehouse, but this functionality is manual and can only take place on a one-at-a-time basis. There is also no functionality within DPAS that manages the progress of these MWO projects.

Currently there is no representation of warehouse inventory within associated M&U Maintenance Activities. These assets are needed in M&U in order to accommodate the creation of ad hoc work orders as well as to schedule preventative maintenance and work plans.

 

Proposed Solution (M&U and Warehouse):  Provide a method in Warehouse to specify when a MAM record should be created in M&U for existing ICN’s and during Receipt. M&U should use the ICN as the Asset ID. M&U needs to also add the standard Condition Codes to MAM and use the Condition Code from warehouse. In the case when the MAM record represents a Kit in Warehouse, M&U will need to include the ability to display the component inventory of the kit (component inventory would not be a MAM record). Warehouse should continue to trigger updates to M&U as ICN information changes- Warehouse should continue to trigger updates to M&U as ICN information changes: 1Stock Number. 2 Condition Code. 3. Any other shared parameters.  Proposed Solution (Warehouse Only): Use the Warehouse Inspection Action process as a means to schedule preventative maintenance.  Modify the warehouse Inspection process to auto generate a Quality Control request. Add functionality to the Inspection Action process to accommodate the addition of work plan steps   Utilize the Warehouse Inspection Assessment functionality within QC as a means for the users to order parts when required

Currently when generating a physical inventory in the ELMS Warehouse module you cannot select the following filters when using all inventory mode’s location, Condition Codes, Owning DoDAAC, Project Code, or Purpose Code. If a single warehouse has locations with multiple Condition Codes, Owning DoDAAC, Project Code, or Purpose Code the user can’t generate the physical inventory for each property owner. This is a big issue for property accountability. Each property owner should be able to sign for their property and only their property.

 

Add the following data elements to the generation of a physical inventory when using the inventory mode location.
Condition Codes, Owning DoDAAC, Project Code, or Purpose Code.
