Description
inventory update mgr shows all my inventory whether it is a kit or not. I have a filter for the "kit" column, but the filters aren't very user friendly

Recommended
add "kit?" to the search parameters in the inventory update mgr grid

Mission Critical
desirable

Benefits
ease of use.

Users
all

Description
we cannot print shelf life extension labels unless we use the shelf-life extension function.  we cannot use shelf life extension function for serialized extensions or small batch extensions. For these items we use editable expiration date in inventory update mgr.

Recommended
add check box to edit grid when changing expiration date to initially print extension label. add button on selected items tab "print extension label" to allow printing a replacement label.

Mission Critical
desirable

Benefits
eliminates having to manually fill out an item extension label form.

Users
all users who extend individual serialized assets.

Description
Currently, you cannot annotate the date that an asset has return from DEPOT-Level Maintenance. Annotating the proper date adjusts the assets End of Life cycle.

Recommended
Add a date block under the Origl In Svc Dt, labeled DEPOT Return Dt. This is on the Basic tab of the asset record in Property Accountability. See separate word document of example. Also this date should be available at the MNU vehicle asset record/on the Vehicle Characteristic tab.

Mission Critical
Yes, this is mission critical. Will show the proper life cycle years, assist with how money is expended for maintenance and when replacements are needed.

Benefits
Benefits will improve the accuracy of End of Life Cycle management of assets returning from DEPOT-Level Maintenance.

Users
All Air Force fleet managers/maintenance controllers will be effected by this.

We need to take another look at our process.

Description
Streamline 'Warehouse Transfer' process to allow asset selection without first having to enter a stock number. Armory personnel rarely process assets by stock number.

Recommended
Modify the current the 'Warehouse Transfer' process to allow the following:

1. Select assets without having to first enter a stock number (ie... choose assets by location, nomenclature, serial number, etc...)
2. Produce a “Hard Stop” when Gaining Warehouse is not authorized to receive the Stock Number being proposed to be shipped.
   This will prevent the shipping of an asset to a warehouse that should not have the asset.

Mission Critical
Mission Critical - Due to armory transfer business process mandate.  Transfers must be accomplished in accordance with standards required by OPNAVINST 5530.13C, NAVSEASYSCOMINST 8370.2D and COMNAVSPECWARCOMINST 8020.2A. Assets are selected for transfer based on location, Nomenclature, or serial number.  Serialized assets must only be shipped to a warehouse that is authorized to receive the asset. 

Benefits
This will allow NSW Armories to maintain their current operational level of support and will ensure shipments from NSW armories to CRANE (and vice versa) are being to shipped to the correct warehouses

Users
This will apply to all users within COMNAVSPECWARCOM

Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Description
Need to streamline the 'Physical Inventory' process to allow 'adhoc' inventory events and add additional signature fields to existing DPAS produced inventory forms. Inventory forms/reports should contain minimum essential information similar to existing NSW armory inventory forms/reports to allow the maximum number of assets.

Recommended
Modify the current 'Physical Inventory' process to allow the following:

1. Provide ability to generate inventory by serial number in addition to Stock Number, Location, or Inventory Segment Code
2. Prevent the ability to delete serialized assets during the inventory process
3. If a serialized asset is not accounted for during an inventory event, require a method to close out the inventory event and process the discrepancy separately.
4. When inventory events occur using the 'Unit Reconciliation Process, need the ability to inventory select serial numbers (current process is an 'all' or 'none' process)
5. For the inventory forms, need the following signatures blocks added "Inventoried By” and “Verified By”
6. Inventory forms should contain similar information and formatting contained on the current inventory form.

Mission Critical
Mission Critical - Due to Weapons and VAS Accountability mandate. Inventories must be accomplished in accordance with standards required by OPNAVINST 5530.13C, NAVSEASYSCOMINST 8370.2D and COMNAVSPECWARCOMINST 8020.2A. Inventories are required for serialized assets that are deployed, in remote IDTC locations, and in garrison. Inventories are conducted utilizing inventory forms/reports provided by the accountable armory. Inventories must be conducted and documented as quickly as possible to reduce the impact on training and combat operations.

Benefits
This will allow NSW Armories to maintain their current operational level of support with minimal impact to the amount of time it takes to perform required monthly inventories

Users
This currently applies to Armory users within NSW, but it is foreseeable that it could be applied to other departments within the command at a later date.

Completed – Release 6.3 – 21 December 2018

Description
Need to modify current Armory assessment process so assets that are in a 'issue' status can have assessments performed without the need to have them returned. Also, when 'issued' assets are having an assessment performed, the Armory needs the ability to decrement the repair parts being used during the assessment from the original owning warehouse of the assets (ex... LOGSU2 issues assets to SEAL Team 2, when the assessment is performed on those assets, the repair parts being used will need to decrement from the LOGSU2 O/H repair parts inventory). The NSW Armories need the ability to be able to assess multiple serial numbers (attached to same stock number) at the same time. Lastly, the NSW Armories need an 'Assessment Summary Report' created similar to what their current system provides.

Recommended
Modify the current the 'assessment' process to allow the following:

1. Allow assets in an 'issue' status to be assessed
2. When performing an assessment on issued assets, allow the repair parts to be decremented from the Owning Warehouse from which the asset was issued from.
3. Allow the ability to assess multiple stock numbers at the same and giving the user the ability to replace the same repair part(s) for all serial numbers in that assessment.
Create a 'Assessment Summary Report' similar to what their current system provides today. A copy of this report was provided to Leidos.
4. Create an 'Assessment Due' Report similar to what their current system provides today. A copy of this report was provided to Leidos.
5. Create the ability to filter/select data for both reports by commodity, location, assessment due range, nomenclature, or stock number.

Mission Critical
Mission Critical - Due to Maintenance requirement mandate. Maintenance assessments and repairs must be accomplished in accordance with current standards required by NAVSEASYSCOMINST 8370.2D and COMNAVSPECWARCOMINST 8020.2A. Maintenance assessments are required prior to SEAL/SB Team deployment. The IDTC time-line does not allow wholesale asset turn-in for maintenance. Assessments and repairs must be conducted while assets remain in SEAL/SWCC OICs/AOICs custody. Assessment results and repair parts usage must be documented when assets are not in the custody of the accountable armory.

Benefits
This will allow NSW Armories to maintain their current operational level of support with minimal impact to the amount of time it takes to perform COMNAVSEASYSCOM and COMNAVSPECWARCOM required armory maintenance actions.

Users
This currently applies to Armory users within NSW, but it is foreseeable that it could be applied to other departments within the command at a later date.

Partially Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Partially Completed – Release 6.3 – 21 December 2018

Completed – Release 7.0 – 20 April 2019

Description
Need to streamline/improve the current Unit Issue Process. Current process was set up for multiple steps to be used by multiple individuals, whereas COMNAVSPECWARCOM armories typically operate with a single Database Manager processing all issues/receipts/moves/turn-ins.

Recommended
Streamline Unit Issue Process, simplify it to allow the following within a single (or very few) processes/screens. Ideally, NSW Armories would like the following streamlined approach to execute a unit issue:

1. Select UIC to be issued material
2. Select UIC Custodian (RO)
3. Select assets to be issued (user would like to be able to select assets by location, stock number, nomenclature, or serial number. Need the ability to have a variety of assets selectable by using any one or more of above filtering mechanisms.
4. Choose staging location for assets
5. Submit the issue
6. Print Issue Document for user to sign

1. Recommended Solution #1: Combine the 'request' , 'edit header', 'select assets',  'pick plan', 'material movement pick' and 'sign' into a single unified process.
2. Recommended Solution #2: Modify the DW04 form to allow the user the ability to view components of a managed kit or not. Additionally, need the form to accommodate more serial numbers than its current format. A typical NSW Platoon issue will contain roughly 600-800 serial numbers in a single issue.

Mission Critical
Mission Critical - Due to accountability mandate. Unit issues must be accomplished within the current time line in order to support COMNAVSPECWARCOMINST 8020.2A requirements. SEAL/SWCC OICs/AOICs are required to assume custody of all serialized armory assets issued. OIC/AOIC availability is limited due to training and deployment commitments.

Benefits
This will allow NSW Armories to maintain their current operational level of support with minimal impact to the amount of time it takes to process a SEAL/SWCC team load-out.

Users
Yes, this affects all users within NSW, not just Armory. Many of our departments within NSW operate their issuing processes very similar to the Armory.

Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Description
Warehouse needs an ICN Label Manager that will allow users to view/print or reprint ICN labels.

Recommended
Create an option on the drop down menu of the Materiel Management tab called ICN Label Manager.

Mission Critical
It is not mission critical or mandated but it will enable Warehouse officers/Technicians to manage labels without utilizing the Inventory Update Manager function of the Materiel Mgmt tab.

Benefits
Having a centralized location to manage bar codes would save a lot of man-hours and enable better accountability of materiel.

Users
This option would benefit all Warehouse users. See attached document for visual explanation.

21Feb2025 – cancelled per Luther Meitzner

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.

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.
