01262 Add Segregation Cd to Warehouse and Materiel Mgmt Warehouse SOCOM New

Description
The current DPAS Warehouse and ICP architecture does not provide for the delineation of property beyond Owning DODAAC and Project Cd. 
The Project Cd is somewhat controlled by DoD (several restrictions on what is user controlled) and is limited to 3 characters. 
The Owning DODAAC is limited to 6 characters and must be a valid DODAAC when routing transactions through DAAS. 
USSOCOM, as a Source of Supply is somewhat unique in that it with the Services' Special Forces to determine equipment requirements and in some instances secures funding from the Services to acquire the equipment. 
When this occurs USSOCOM requires the capability to "Segregate" the inventory to know how many are allocated to each special force along with what program the materiel/equipment belongs to.  
Reportable Commodity Types will not suffice as the same Stock Nbr exists within multiple programs. 
  We conferred with EBSO concerning the possibility of expanding the Purpose Code (similar usage, but currently only 1 character),  and the Project Code (3 characters) to prevent adding a new attribute. 
That was vetoed stating this would impact all DoD users and possibly the current DLMS to MILS conversion.

Recommended
USSOCOM is preparing a DLMS PDC to add a new Industry Cd value to allow for the Segregation of the equipment in inventory. 
General concurrence has been given by EBSO for the new Industry Code pending receipt of the PDC and staffing. 
USSCOM desires the segregation code to be available for use with all DLMS transactions that flow between ICP and the RSA. 
Currently USSOCOM has in excess of 1K Segregation Codes.
The Segregation Cd must be table driven with a user process that is role based to allow for the Add Update and Delete of the values. 
The Warehouse and ICP inventories must be Searchable and viewable by Segregation Code. 
Screens that are modified to allow for the input/selection of a Segregation Code e.g. Receiving, Update, Issue should provide intellisense as well as a drop-down along with a Browse selector for selecting the correct Segregation Code.
It is recognized that some users of the DPAS application may not want to use the Segregation Code, but USSOCOM believes for its wholesale warehouses it is a must, thus there must be system controls to force the selection of a Segregation Code when applicable. 
It is requested that this SCR be developed in concert with the DLMS PDC to ensure the characteristics of the Segregation Code are the same. 
  Lastly, it is noted that DPAS does not currently have the standard DoD Supply Chain Purpose Code attribute as part of its inventory attributes. 
Consideration should be given to adding it as part of this SCR. 
Purpose Cd is "Service" defined as will be the Segregation Cd. 
The 2 values will mirror each other in functionality, except for it length and actual values. 
The benefit of having the Purpose is that all DoD Supply Chain system recognizes the Purpose Cd attribute. 
EBSO appears to be planning to limit Segregation Cd to use by USSCOM / DPAS.

Mission Critical
Yes - USSOCOM is unable to implement DPAS to manage the inventory in its Lexington warehouse without this change.

Benefits
With numerous programs and various sources of funding, this permits USSSOCOM and other users of DPAS to segregate its inventory as they need.

Users
This will affect all users of the Warehousing and Materiel Mgmt modules.

01261 Additional Physical Inventory Methods Warehouse SOCOM New

Description
A number of the USSOCOM activities are using the DPAS Warehouse module as their APSR for personal property vs. a true Warehouse type operation. 
As such, DODI 5000.64 is their guidance for conducting Physical Inventories as opposed to a the traditional DOD Warehouse physical inventory policy found in DOD 4140.1-R. 
DODI 5000.64 provides for alternative methods/periods for conducting Physical Inventories other than 100% / year. In addition to 100% Physical Inventories, there is a need to be able to request / conduct Ad Hoc Inventories e.g. Serial Nbr, CIIC, etc., and to be able to plan and conduct a Cyclic Physical Inventory where the system computes a % of the inventory to be conducted / period while ensuring all items have been inventoried within the cyclic period.
Consideration should also be given to allowing for the update of the DOLI via  activities where the item would have had to have had a positive siting e.g. Assessment, Inspection, Work Order etc. 
Lastly, due to the nature of how the warehouses are being used, there are items within the inventory that do not meet the DODI 5000.64 threshold for accountable property. 
The system should provide for a method to exclude certain items from being subject to a Physical Inventory.

Recommended
Modify the Physical Inventory process to enable additional methods to conduct and mange Physical Inventories as DODI 5000.64 permits to include Ad Hoc and Cyclic.  
Be able to exclude items that are not subject to Property Accountability from having to have a Physical Inventory conducted e.g. unit dollar value of less than $1.
Examples of desired Inventory Reports:

  • Annual 10% sampling for items with a unit dollar value of > $1 and $5K
  • Annual 100% inventory for items with a unit dollar value > $5K
  • Semi-annual 100% inventory for controlled inventory items

Mission Critical
Mandated per existing business processes and CLS contract at PEO-SOFSA.

Benefits
Supports existing contractual requirements for GOCO CTRs.

01257 Custodian Roles PA SOCOM Done

Description
Need an overall custodian role that includes all current custodian roles. Currently there are seven custodian roles that break out various capabilities. Require one over-arching role for custodians since majority take the APO course for the in person training, and then are downgraded to Custodian roles. Users authorized to perform all levels of custodian functions would only need to submit one DPAS Roles request instead of several. 

Recommended
Establish an overarching Custodian Role (potentially a DPAS Role 1078). This role would roll up all existing Custodian Functions into one role.

Mission Critical
Not mission critical, this is an enhancement to the existing DPAS Custodian roles.

Benefits
Eliminates the need for Custodians that need to perform all of the various custodian functions to have more than one role assigned. Allows Custodians that require all custodial functions to take a single on line course, and then submit one roles request. 

Users
Impacts all custodians using the PA Module

Recommended
Include the DPAS MRO report in the daily MDR feed.  

Mission Critical
It is not mandated but it will improve MRO management within LOGCOM. 

Benefits

01255 Print Multiple DW-01s Warehouse AF: AFERMS Done

Description
Currently we have to print multiple DW-01s individually. this takes a lot of time when I have to print all the DW-01s for a set or an NSN. 

Recommended
set kit outfit, serial update currently allows us to print multiple labels for expiring items.  give us a "DW-01" button that uses the same "print" checkbox as expiring items. almost all the time an expiring items label is printed, a DW-01 is printed. This would save us having to check another column to get the data.

01253 Asset Transactions from iRAPT PA OSD Done

Description
The Department has been struggling with the timely identification of assets being delivered to the Department, thus the initial receipt transaction is not being made in a timely manner.  The current interface between DPAS and IRAPT does not capture all of the transactions because the interface is limited to monitoring the Ship To DoDAAC.  There are many instances where the Ship To organization is not the original purchasing organization.  In these instances, iRAPT does not sent the asset transaction to the purchaser of the asset.

Recommended
Identify methods to improve the iRAPT interface to provide all of the transactions for DPAS users.  Several options have been presented but nothing has been proven of tested to determine if they will provide the needed universe of transactions.  The current list of options is:

  1. setup routing in DAAS to provide transactions to DPAS based on additional 'DoDAAC' data elements, such as bill to and approved by.
  2. rout transaction from iRAPT based on the Accounting Identifier in the Line of Accounting.
  3. retrieve transactions from the newly developed Data Lake

Mission Critical
critical to close audit findings due to delayed processing of the initial receipt of assets

Benefits
provides assets to the DPAS community in a timely manner once the vendor indicates the assets are shipped via iRAPT.
