GSA/DLA Mass Mileage Upload |
MU |
AF: VSCOS |
Removed |
Description Currently, mass mileage can be uploaded via GSA Fleet file upload and DLA Fuel upload. GSA upload will update fuel usage as well as mileage. DLA will update fuel but no miles; however the odometer field is still mandatory for the system to accept the file. The issue is both GSA and DLA mileage inputs by users at the pumps are mostly incorrect (i.e. people make up numbers or use the tenth of a mile on the odometer; 1600.9 miles becomes 16009). Our Fleet Management and Analysis section needs to be able to collect and verify all mileage updates before loading into DPAS.
Recommended Separate the mileage mandate from the current GSA/DLA fuel upload capability. Create a bulk upload template for both GSA an DLA fuel uploads. For ease of upload, suggest utilizing current GSA bulk mileage upload spreadsheet that exists in the GSA Fleet Drive-thru website. Create a similar type mass upload sheet for DLA mileage uploads.
Mission Critical This is a mission critical change. Incorrect mileage can send scheduled maintenance dates well out of range as well as affect both vehicle End of Life and Priority Buy models. Both are key to the Air Force vehicle fleet replacement placement.
Benefits This feature will reduce the time it takes to input hundreds of mileage updates one by one as well as increase the accuracy of the data being entered. Our fleet has 83K assets, to have our FMIS be able improve fuel reporting efficiency and accuracy is vital to day to day mission success.
Users All Air Force Fleet Managers/Maintenance controllers and Material specialists utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.

LP and Warehouse Catalog |
Enterprise |
AF: VSCOS |
Done |
Description For the AF 85-90% of vehicle parts are purchased commercially off-the-shelf. DLA/USAF supply is scarcely used. Warehouse does not allow for (commercial) similar/duplicate part numbers from different manufacturers, which poses a challenge for 303 warehouses globally to operate from one Logistics Program (LP) catalog. It is very time consuming loading single part numbers with 26 data points.
Recommended Need capability to load duplicate (commercial) part numbers with different descriptions in the LP. Eliminate unnecessary data points when loading a part number. When loading NSN or part number from LP to warehouse catalog, disassociate selected number from LP for warehouse to manage as needed.
Mission Critical It is mission critical and is mandated
Benefits Process will expand parts catalog capability and allow future changes as new models of vehicles & vehicular equipment are introduced to the USAF vehicle fleet.
Users This option would benefit all M/U and Warehouse users.

Auto Save every 10 min minutes (similar to Word Docs) |
Enterprise |
AF: VSCOS |
Removed |
Description Currently, there is not a way for a user to back up data that has been inputted into DPAS M&U and are still trying to complete the transaction, before their 15 minute time is up. So any data inputted before clicking update is lost, and is very time consuming to re-enter. Especially, if the Work Order has numerous Sub Work Orders.
Recommended The ability to have DPAS M&U auto save (like Word Docs) every 10 min would be a great add on to the program. This will ensure that users have time to input information or make updates without worrying that they don't have time, and make a mistake or if they get called away mid-transaction. Also, the fleet management personnel might have to stop mid way during the profiling, utilization update or work order process to retrieve additional information.
Mission Critical This is critical, this will give adequate time for the user to input data accurately and without concern of losing information already inputted. Currently, the inability to save data is not user friendly to daily operations.
Benefits This would benefit users (having the security of not losing data); increasing productivity and maintenance leadership getting the most accurate and up to date maintenance information of assets in maintenance in a timely manner.
Users This SCR will affect the entire AF Agency, all fleet managers/maintenance controllers utilize up to date information for day to day fleet management purposes.

Maint Issue Open Action Update |
Enterprise |
AF: VSCOS |
New |
Description Material Control Officers usually work in different sections than personnel who request items from the M&U module and they need to be aware of any Maintenance Issue requests.
Recommended Maintenance Issue Request from M&U should display in the Open Warehouse Actions and Message of the Day Dashboard.
Mission Critical Materiel Control section is mandated per AFI 24-302 to "Initiate, monitor and follow up (as needed/required) on part requests". Initiating this change will highlight pending parts requests.
Benefits Displaying these requests in the open actions and message of the day dashboard will raise awareness and accelerate the purchase process.
Users This change will have a beneficial impact on all users that purchase and issue parts along with personnel that request the parts. |

Zone Option for ICN Inventory |
Warehouse |
AF: VSCOS |
New |
Description Vehicle maintenance personnel are required to pull inquiries that display items in multiple locations but within the same zone. Personnel with the 9090 role require access to this information and the ICN Inventory currently doesn't have an option to create an inquiry by zone.
Recommended Add an option to pull an ICN Inventory by zone.
Mission Critical Not mission critical or mandated.
Benefits This change will allow all personnel to pull inquiries for daily functions that are organized by zones.
Users This change will have a beneficial impact on all Warehouse users since it will enable them to access inventory listings for functions and processes that are organized by zones. |

Work Plan Type Cd Correction and/or Addition |
MU |
AF: VSCOS |
Done |
Description DPAS will not allow the use of Work Plan Type Cd "INSP" more than once on a work order. If a second sub work order is created with "INSP" an error message displays "2-Invalid entry: there is more than one INSP sub work order. A work order can have at most one INSP sub work order"
Recommended Allow multiple inspections to be inputted on more than one sub work order and/or create specific work plan type codes for "INCM/Incoming" and "OUTG/Outgoing" inspections.
Mission Critical This is mission critical as many inspections such as incoming, outgoing quality control and visual inspections are mandated per AFI 24-302 and T.O. 36-1-191.
Benefits Benefits of implementing this change will allow more accurate maintenance action classification reporting and fleet analysis.
Users All Air Force fleet managers, maintenance controllers and material control specialists utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.

Combining System Generated Work orders |
MU |
AF: VSCOS |
Removed |
Description Currently, when an asset is due scheduled maintenance/inspection, a system generated work order will open up for each individual maintenance/inspection due. As it stands right now, work plan(s) can be combined to one work order and the unneeded work order voided. However, the voided work order still self generated as "due" the next day.
Recommended Add feature to work order that will allow other system generated work orders to be combined and prevent another instance of the same maintenance/inspection from self generating again the next day.
Mission Critical Yes. The current configuration allows several work orders be open for the same asset leaving the open work orders screen clogged full of unnecessary "open" work orders and makes it difficult for vehicle managers to get an informed snap shot of what is currently open within the shop.
Benefits The benefits of implementing this change will reduce the "clutter" within the open work order screen/open actions screen and provide a clearer site picture of what assets are actually down for maintenance.
Users All fleet managers, maintenance controllers and materiel specialists utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.

SKO Build and Inventory With SKO Catalog Options |
Warehouse |
AF: VSCOS |
Removed |
Description Warehouse needs SKO listing and inventory/inspection improvement to be IAW AFI 24-302 requirements and AF Vehicle Management (VM) common tool accountability and management practice. The SKO catalog list and inspection list must be the same. ALSO An addition to SCR 1334. Along with using toolboxes/Individual Tool Kit (ITK)/Composite Tool kit (CTK), the Vehicle Management (VM) community also uses containers/Mobility Spares Readiness Package(MRSP) and pallets for mobility purposes. Having multiple SKO catalog options would be ideal for VM facilities and other DoD DPAS users.
Recommended Modify SKO catalog. Units should have the ability to build toolbox or kits (SKO) with display order and drawer location. See Attachment 3 (DW Form 01A) for recommended document appearance. ALSO We recommend removing current SKO option and adding the capabilities to select different types of SKO catalogs: ITK/CTK, MSRP and Pallet. Upon selecting add in the SKO Catalog screen, the system should ask which type of catalog the user is trying to create. All three options (ITK/CTK, MSRP and Pallet) will have the option to group items by compartments/drawers and still have the option for display order.
Mission Critical It is mission critical and is mandated. ALSO IAW 24-302 5.37.6. Maintenance team leads or their designees perform and document accountability procedures for ITK/CTKs or tool cribs in accordance with local Vehicle Management Operation Procedures (VMOPs), or on a daily basis, to ensure accountability of assigned tools and to prevent Foreign Object Damage (FOD). (T-1). Written inventories are accomplished annually by Materiel Control, jointly with the technician. 5.37.15 Powered hand tools may be issued to CTKs, tool cribs or ITKs. Ensure they are accurately accounted for due to their high replacement cost. 5.39. Materiel Control sub-receipts ITKs to the technicians using itemized inventory listings.
Benefits VM operations have SKOs with over 500 tools. Having SKOs with display order and drawer location enables members/personnel to easily locate and inspect tools. ALSO The option to have multiple SKO programs to catalog parts and tools for ITK/CTKs, MSRPs and Pallets will allow better accountability management and make the inventory process more efficient.
Users This option would benefit all Warehouse users. See attached document for visual explanation ALSO Not only will the Air Force component benefit from this SCR but all DoD and Federal services using DPAS and the SKO function. The capability will allow better tool, parts, equipment management/accountability and increase inventory efficiency.

Permanently attach Mx records for life of asset |
MU |
AF: VSCOS |
New |
Description Currently, when an asset is transferred from one UIC to another, all maintenance history/records is removed and does not follow the asset.
Recommended Ensure all historical maintenance records and attachments are electronically attached to the asset for its entire life cycle. Have MU mimic PA functions for records updates and attachment management.
Mission Critical Very mission critical. If the entire assets maintenance history is not available, it is difficult to identify maintenance trends and recurring issues. It also hinders researching previous Service Bulletins, Manufacturer's Warranties, One Time Inspections and Time Compliance Technical Orders that have been completed which could lead to potential safety issues.
Benefits Implementing this solution will ensure all historical data is available to maintenance managers for the life of the asset; in order for trends and safety issues to be easily identified.

Update Part Costing to Actual Asset Cost (not Catalog Cost) |
Enterprise |
AF: VSCOS |
New |
Description Warehouse capability is needed to update receive/accept process to be IAW AFI 24-302, chapter 5 requirements. Parts receipt and/or Form DD1348 costs must be loaded to document/account for funds charged to vehicles. Actual part cost also needs to reflect in "Unit Cost" field in M&U when Document Status reflects "Issued". Currently, this field reflects the catalog cost.
Recommended Modify Warehouse, Materiel Mgmt, Receiving, Receive and Accept process. Allow for price modification from parts receipt and/or Form DD1348 costs to reflect actual cost not LP list price. Actual asset cost also needs to reflect in "Unit Cost" field in M&U when Document Status reflects "Issued".
Mission Critical It is mission critical and is mandated per DoD 4500.36, Chapter 2b "The cost associated with this method of NTV support includes these cost elements...Direct and indirect costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the NTV". Accuracy of costing inputs sustainment budget and is calculated in FAST Cost per Mile, our End of Life and Prioritization Models.
Benefits Having actual part cost gives accurate accounting of items purchased and allows accurate reporting of operation and maintenance costs associated with each asset.
Users This option would benefit all Warehouse users. See hatched document for visual explanation |
