01200 Add Condition Code to Custodian Asset Report PA Navy Removed

Description
The asset condition code is not on the Custodian Asset Report.  Verification of the assets condition is a requirement for Navy FIAR inventory efforts.  It is also required to keep the condition code updated in the APSR per SECNAVINST 7320.10A.

Recommended
Add condition code to the Custodian Asset Report.
The condition code has been added to the custodian inventory report to support inventory requirements of DODI 5000.64 and SECNAVINST 7320.10a however recommend it also be added to the Custodian Asset Report.  After an inventory is conducted the Custodian Asset Report is provided to the custodian as documentation of assets in their custody.

Mission Critical
Not mission critical but a FIAR requirement, and SECNAVINST 7320.10A requires verification of condition code.

01199 TCTO (Time Compliance Technical Order) Warehouse AF: AFERMS Done

Description
We have one time inspections called TCTOs (Time Compliance Technical Orders) that are required to be accomplished on items.  these items have a completion date assigned that can range from immediately (which renders the item in-serviceable until it is accomplished), to next inspection cycle which allows the item to be used as is until the next scheduled inspection.

Recommended
create an inspection type of TCTO that can be assigned to an NSN.  give a field for compliance date.  if the inspection is not completed by the compliance date downgrade to condition "F". this inspection needs to be assigned to all items of the affected NSN to include items that are in kits and items that are issued.  we need to be able to sign off the inspection even if the item is in a kit without first having to remove the item from the kit.

Mission Critical
critical.  this involves safety of flight in some instances.

Benefits
we can auto-generate a TCTO inspection on items and mandate completion even if the item is kitted, signed out, or both.

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).

01191 duplicate member profiles Warehouse AF: AFERMS Done

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
