Description
We have items that have variable expiration dates.  some batteries last longer than the advertised expiration date in FEDLOG.  survival modules and medical modules do not have expiration dates that are exact to the shelf life code in FEDLOG (it's more of a ball park expiration date).

Recommended
allow editing of the expiration date. the expiration date should auto-calculate off the shelf life code, but be an editable field.

Mission Critical
critical.  we are currently having to hand write the actual expirations on forms and ignore the condition codes assigned to items that show as expired in DPAS.

Benefits
accurate condition codes of items

Completed – Release 6.0 – 27 April 2018

Description
when personnel are issued an item, the CAC is scanned, the search function searches their EDI PI number. If the number is not found it allows you to add the member.  We have many members that are added with a place holder number until their EDI PI can be added when they come into our office. this creates a duplicate of the member.

Recommended
if the EDI PI is not found have the search function move to last name and similar first name of members with EDI PIs starting with "ID" (the place holder identifier).  allow the user to select a profile to update or create a new profile if the found profiles are not correct.

Mission Critical
highly desirable

Benefits
will eliminate duplicate member profiles

Description
Currently there is no dashboard reflecting Total Fleet Operations within DPAS at a glance.  Would require access at the Enterprise Level for the DoD FM, Agency Level for Agency FM and Maintenance Level for the Area FM.  Same type of information at each level controlled by level of access.

Recommended
Dashboard information in ledger and graph similar to Dispatch for the following.
  Should be able to drill down to asset and refreshing.

• Total FAST Reportable # (# owned, # GSA, # Commercial - Pie Graph)
• Total FAST Reportable # (# profiled and # profiled - Pie Graph)
• Total # Maint Asset Util = 0 - Total # Fuel Util = 0
• Total # Cost = 0 - Utiliztion Tracking (# 12-9K miles, # 8.9K3k, # 290 - Pie Graph)
• Cost (Lease, Maint, Accident Repair - Pie Graph)
• Vehicle Type - Pie Graph
• Vehicle Fuel Type - Pie Graph

Completed – Release 6.3 – 21 December 2018

Description
When a user is opening a new Work-order but there is currently one already opened there is no way of informing the user. We recommend that a warning message appears stating "there is already a existing open work-order for this asset." If the asset has one already. This will reduce the number of open main work-orders on a asset at one time and properly capture the work at the sub wok-order level if applicable.

Recommended
Add a message to inform user that there is already a open work order on the asset. The message should state the Work Order # and that its open in red. Message should flag after the add criteria screen. Or after you select the Asset Id and click select. The screen flashes when adding asset information, so the system should be checking for open work-orders as well.

Mission Critical
This is critical.  Fleet managers count on viewing information to be able to make informed decisions to manage Air Force fleets around the globe.

Benefits
This will reduce multiple work orders open on the same asset. This causes issue with the Air Force reporting mission capability of its assets. Having multiple work orders on an asset at the same time skews data. This will also aid in data integrity.

Users
This SCR will affect the entire AF Agency, to include other services.

Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Description
When closing work-orders once you change the state code to closed you have to go to each individual sub work-order and change the state code, this is time consuming. Especially if there are numerous sub work-orders, to include having to insert a Service End date.

Recommended
Recommend sub work-orders inherit the same work-order state code and the same return date (Service End Date) as the main work order. Also allow the user to change manually if need be.

Mission Critical
This is critical.  Fleet managers count on viewing information in a timely manner to be able to make informed decisions to manage Air Force fleets around the globe.

Benefits
Benefits would include reducing transaction time when closing work orders and entering dates and the accuracy of the dates entered.

Users
This SCR will affect the entire AF Agency, to include other services that use the M&U module.

Description
During the new work-order process; a user has to input dates multiple times and in multiple blocks. Having the ability to only enter the date once improves time when entering information. Also, the Return Date block from the open Work-Order basic screen should not be available in the open screen.

Recommended
Recommend that 2 other date fields (Avail, & Approval Dt) auto fill when the user inputs the date in the Receipt Date field. Also, remove the Return Date field until the user changes the Work Order Status Cd to C-Closed.

Mission Critical
