Description
The Air Force is migrating its management and accountability of its IT assets to DPAS.  As part of that effort, there is a requirement to identify and report the custodians of IT to the Air Force's AFWAY system.

Recommended
Create a Web Service Interface that will provide AFWAY with the data it requires.

Mission Critical
Yes.  This data is the only method that authorizes the IT Custodians to have visibility of IT orders in AFWAY.

Benefits
Providing information concerning the IT Custodians in DPAS to AFWAY will permit the IT Custodians to have visibility of IT orders within AFWAY.

Users
All Air Force IT Custodians

Partially Completed – Release 6.3.3 – 22 February 2019

Completed – Release 7.0 – 20 April 2019

Description
Currently, there is no way to enforce Air Force DPAS M&U users to input Est Labor Hours on  Sub Work Orders when creating a Work Order. This is a mandatory function for user to input Est Labor Hours which leaders use for workload planning, scheduling maintenance and productivity assessments. This is also necessary so current information can be seen and sent to LIMS-EV, for leaders to view and use in vehicle maintenance production decision making processes. The failure of users not updating Est Labor Hours is preventing LIMS-EV from providing an accurate picture on workload productivity and Direct vs Est Labor Hour Variances. We propose making the Est Labor Hour data field a mandatory input when opening work orders in DPAS.

Recommended
The ability to ensure that all users are inputting Est Labor Hours in a Sub Work Order is crucial. When creating a Sub Work Order this field needs to be a mandatory and an error message needs to pop up when there is not a number in the Est Labor Hour field when no labor hours are entered.

Mission Critical
This is critical.  Enterprise Fleet managers count on viewing this information in order to make informed personnel decisions. This is mandatory for Mx Activities so the most current and accurate information is sent to the Enterprise Leadership view in LIMS-EV.

Benefits
This would benefit Air Force leadership by getting the most accurate and up to date maintenance status of all Air Force assets as well providing a viable performance indicator.

Users
This SCR will affect the entire AF vehicle site, all Air Force Fleet Managers/Superintendent and FM&A personnel utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.  

Description
Currently, the open work order dashboard displays all open work orders but does not provide enough information to quickly and accurately pull an Estimated Time In Completion (ETIC) report.

Recommended
Add available fields: LIN/TAMCN, Maint Grp ID, Equip Pool, Approval Date, Team, Remarks as well as a download feature (PDF & Excel) from the main open work order dashboard.  Also add filters on all column headers.  This will allow managers to sort the ETIC sheet as desired and print the information as it is displayed on the screen.  See attachment (below) which details basic requirement.

Mission Critical
Critical.  The current process does not give a Vehicle Fleet Manager the ability to look at the open work order screen and get an accurate depiction vehicle maintenance status of assets within the shop. 

Benefits
Benefits of this solution enable Vehicle Fleet Managers with the ability to check the status of their maintenance actions within a few clicks of the mouse.

Users
All Air Force Fleet Managers/Maintenance controllers and Material specialists utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.

Description
The current design of the association of Master Issue List (MIL) to UIC requires 1 association record for every MIL-UIC combination, and does not allow the user to create a MIL that is available for every UIC in their Logistics Program regardless of the addition of future UICs.

Recommended
Create a checkbox on the Master Issue List Add/Edit screen that indicates this MIL is for all UICs.  Setup the screen such that if a user does select any UICs, it unchecks the box.  Set the database and code up such that no association records are required for MILs that have been set up to be available for all UICs.

Mission Critical
mission critical.  As more and more Master Issue Lists are created and associated to more UICs, the performance of that association will continue to degrade without this feature.

Benefits
Performance of the system.

Users
All users.

Completed - Release 6.1.40

Description
Our current system allows attachments at the asset level however DPAS Warehouse only allows attachments at the Stock Number or Transaction level. The Proposed Improvement will allow us to create attachments at the ICN level and then migrate them over from eTIMS to DPAS.

Recommended
Allow Attachments at the ICN level through Inventory Update and During the Receiving Process for the following file types:

• jpeg,
• pjpeg,
• png,
• x-png,
• gif,
• pdf,
• MS Office (Word, Excel, Power Point)

Mission Critical
Mission Critical. Our warehouse is a central issue, shipping, and storage facility with owners and managers who are off site. Attaching files to an asset is crucial to communication and selection of the correct assets from locations across the globe.

Benefits
Allows us to successfully migrate from eTIMS to DPAS, Improves accuracy of data, shipments, and decisions for parties who are not in the same geographical location as the warehouse.

Users
All users can benefit from being able to attach records, pictures, files to an ICN.

This is the same as SCR 01126.

Description
Navy is undergoing FIAR audit.  Auditors are asking for the city and state be added to  asset universe reports to better define the actual physical address location of an asset.   Navy Major Commands and their subordinate UIC's are manually adding city and state to asset reports for reporting to the audit community which is a heavy lift burden.  Navy has a need to have City and State added to the Location table in order for CPO's and APO's to better account for and report asset physical address location for audit purposes. Navy needs a system wide solution instead of using a combination of manual workarounds. 

Recommended
Recommend City and State Fields be added to the Location Table and make these fields mandatory entries when adding or updating locations.   There maybe other solutions that are available that are not considered and Navy is willing to discuss those options. Also need City and State added as fields to the Inquiry/ Asset Management / Asset and Master Data/ Location modules for reporting purposes.

Mission Critical
Mandated. This SCR is a result of the DOD FIAR Audit efforts. Auditors are requiring BSO's to add City and State field to the Asset Universe Reports to identify actual physical address of the asset. 

Benefits
Adding these fields will add visibility of the actual physical address location of an asset relative to inventory and financial accountability.

Users
Would affect any users of the Property Accountability module DoD wide.

***

Per follow up communication from Boone with Navy PP&E/William Aldrich with Navy FMO, this is on hold/suspended temporarily pending further internal discussion between PP&E/FMO.  They intend to follow up by end of next week stating whether they want to amend the existing submission, or retract the existing SCR and resubmit something completely different down the line.

No Longer Required.

Description
The upcoming work report does not reflect the dates that are entered in the scheduled preventive maintenance screen. The scheduled maintenance that has the "last maint date" as the setting is showing on the report, but the "set schedule date" is not showing on the report.  In the past this report would show both dates and now it will only shows the one date. We would like this fixed so that we can properly report upcoming work orders to customers to properly project maintenance requirements. At this time we are using an additional spreadsheet to track information that DPAS should be reporting to us.

Recommended
That when a upcoming work report request is submitted that the report once received actually accurately reflects what is in the scheduled preventive maintenance schedule. That if a date change is made or a new schedule for is made for any equipment (new or existing) that that upcoming work report will update these changes within twenty four hours. This used to work.

Mission Critical
Critical accurate forecasting ensures customers know when they need to have equipment dropped off to be serviced (work order completed).  

Benefits
Keeps equipment maintenance up to date, reduces the possibility of equipment being out of compliance and possibly being deadlined, especially mission critical equipment such as forklifts, etc.

Users
I believe it probably affects all M&U concerned individuals

Description
Problem: Tracking utilization is very important in Fleet Management. The new Utilization Report Extract tracks and reports utilization, but needs to be updated for all assets loaded into DPAS. Currently, the report defaults the Util Target Monthly to 1000 for FAST Reportable vehicles and all FAST Reportable Vehicles Util Target Monthly isn't 1000. Also, the report defaults the Util Target Monthly to 0 for all other assets reporting utilization.

Recommended
When an Agency or Service is developing the DPAS catalog there are mandatory fields that are required to have data inputted; Yr SVC Life and Util SVC Life.
Each and every asset placed in DPAS must have a SN created, regardless of agency.
One agency may use 8yrs/200,000 and another 10yrs/250,000 (not saying either is right or wrong), but there must be values inputted. Everything is driven from these two fields.
  Using the two fields the calculation should be:

• Util SVC Life (250000)/Yr SVC Life (10)= Util Target Annual (25000)
• Util Target Annual (25000)/12 (months)=Util Target Monthly (2083)

The formula is agency neutral, it is the data in the fields that drive the end result.
This should be the case regardless of type of asset.
And that value should populate the Util Target Monthly in the MAM, as well as the report.
These values are already being utilized to develop the Utilization Report Extract.
Once the Util Target Monthly is calculated and populated request that it be greyed out for all users (this value will be calculated from the information gathered from the catalog), as well as the Minimum Objective Percent and Objective Percent.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical because it supports tracking proper use of assets and tracking of under utilized assets correctly.

Benefits
This will benefit all activities in DPAS by reducing time and error in reporting. Having DPAS perform the calculations allows the system to work for the user. It removes the human factor from having to perform calculations which can introduce errors.

Users
This should affect ALL users utilizing DPAS.

Description
For AFE a QC is an inspection of an inspection.  currently we can create a QC from an inspection, but from there the two inspections are in no way related in the system.  If I complete an inspection at the end of the month and the QC is not completed until the beginning of the next month, it screws up the % reporting for two months. It shows a shortfall for the month the inspection was accomplished and an overage for month the QC was accomplished.

Recommended
make the completion date of the QC default to the completion date of the inspection it was created from.

Mission Critical
critical.  our percentage reporting is worthless without it. Manual tracking systems have to be implemented until this is corrected.

Benefits
many man/hours scouring QC results inquiry matching up inspection with QCs and manually calculating percentages.

Users
All AFERMS

Description
The CBRN gear formatting as currently designed is confusing to the users with the on-hand quantity being duplicated on all NSNs within a warehouse. It also takes to long to produce the report when it includes all the individual warehouse tabs.

Recommended

1. Modify the format of the report to include the On-Hand Quantity = 0 for each Warehouse.
2. Remove the additional Warehouse tabs on the report and only show the Summary page.

Mission Critical
Yes. This report is used to track CBRN gear through the LP.

Benefits
.

Users
Yes.
