Description
USSOCOM maintains unique Catalog and Authorization data in our Special Operations Logistics Management System "SOLMAN" application.  With USSCOM transitioning their Logistics Property Accountability and Warehouse operations to DPAS, there is a requirement to have this information available within DPAS to support these functions.  

Recommended
The solution is to provide a level of integration of DPAS and SOLMAN data.  There is a need for a joint DPAS / SOLMAN team to review the data and identify the level of integration that can best be obtained and how best to provide that level of integration (interfaces, web services, direction and type).  The design should support stand alone and well as enterprise DPAS sites.

Mission Critical
Mandated

Benefits
As USSOCOM transitions Requisition Mgmt to DPAS, there is a requirement to identify whether the unit placing the requisition has a requirement for the item.  Sharing Catalog data will improve accuracy and reduce the amount of effort to catalog an item.

Users
This will affect the catalog division of SOCOM Agency as well and provide a process for electronically providing / maintaining authorization data.

Description
There is no notification in the message box that informs APO/PA of incoming transactions.  The current design of Pending Transactions also makes it difficult to know if there are transactions as you have to check each type of Pending Transaction to know if any exists.

Recommended
Add Pending Transactions to Action List.  Consider developing an email notification system where users can subscribe to specific notifications for a given UIC, Accountable UIC, Site, etc.  Modify how the Search Criteria for Pending Transactions works.  Consider providing users with the ability to view "All" Pending Transactions at once, in addition to specific types.  

Mission Critical
Mandated

Benefits
Improves accountability and provides units notification of incoming property.   Reduces the level of effort to know when pending actions exist. 

Users
Affects all Agency when performing transactions within DPAS.

Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Description
DPAS manages addresses at the UIC level. Often times addresses are applicable to all UICs within an Accountable UIC, or Site, or Agency and in some instances they would be applicable to all of DPAS "Enterprise". The establishment/maintenance of addresses by UIC is very time consuming.  DPAS should permit Addresses to be established at a higher level e.g. Agency or Site or Accountable UIC, and allow subordinate activities (UIC) to use them.  This SCR is being submitted by Leidos DPAS at the request of USSOCOM.

Recommended
The recommended solution would be to allow Addresses to be established at higher levels that the UIC level, and allow them to be 'sharable' with lower levels within the organization tree, thus eliminating the need to manage identical addresses across the enterprise.

Mission Critical
This is SCR is a recommendation to reduce the level of effort to manage Address information.  While Addresses can be managed today as is, the process requires many more resources than necessary.

Benefits
This SCR will significantly reduce the resources required to manage Address information.  By being able to assign a specific individual(s) to manage Addresses rather than having everyone at all levels be responsible for keeping up with changes will improve accuracy as well.

Users
Yes, as well as all Agencies.

Description
The Monthly Depreciation Report only exports as a PDF but Navy needs the option to export it to XLS to better support Navy Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness efforts. 

Recommended
Add capability to export the Monthly Depreciation Report in XLS format.

Mission Critical
mission critical for FIAR support.

Benefits
Improves financial reporting analysis

Users
yes

Description
Current Inquiry/Accounting/Improvement process does not permit you to filter by Site ID / Accountable UIC or add those fields to the extract file.  Currently if you use the wild card it extracts all improvements but no way to identify which Site ID they belong without considerable manual effort to look up the UIC to Site ID association.

Recommended
Add Site ID and Accountable UIC as a filter to the Inquiry/Accounting/Improvement process.  Also add Site ID and Accountable UIC to the fields for selection to be included on the output file.

Mission Critical
Navy is focusing on financial accounting and it is important to be able to extract improvement files and associate them to specific Site ID/Accountable UICs.  Navy has 14 Site IDs in DPAS. 

Benefits
improves financial reporting / accounting.

Users
Yes,

Description
Problem: There's no report that supports gathering all of the necessary data to perform a VAM Survey. There are multiple reports that are gathered together to develop one extremely long report for either a Contractor or Agency to have all of the necessary data to perform the analysis.

Recommended

• Report Year,
• Vehicle ID,
• Manufacturer,
• Model,
• Model YR,
• GVWR,
• Vehicle Type,
• Fuel Type Configuration,
• Location withheld,
• Garage Zip,
• Garage Lat.,
• Garage Long.,

• EO 13693 Designation,
• LGHG Vehicle Qualifying as AFV,
• LE Designation,
• ER Designation,
• Armored Designation,
• Acquisition Cost,
• Miles traveled,
• Lease Cost,
• Maintenance Cost,
• Accident Repair Cost,
• Indirect Cost,
• Disposal Cost,
• Disposal Proceeds,

Mission Critical
This is mandated. Federal Management Regulation (FMR) 102-34.50 requires that executive agencies establish and document a structured vehicle allocation methodology (VAM) to determine the appropriate size, number, and types of motor vehicles.

Benefits
This will benefit all activities in DPAS to include DLA by reducing time.

Users
This should affect ALL Agencies utilizing DPAS.

Description
Designated assets will not allow a completed signed document to be attached at the Pending Approval page of DPAS when assets are dispositioned out of DPAS.  The challenge is attaching a document after "approve" has been select for a a dispositioned asset.

Recommended
Please allow a document to to be attached before the approved button is selected at the Pending Approval page in DPAS.

Mission Critical
Critical.  The documents signed by an outside DPAS agency are difficult to attach after the process is approved in the pending state.  Attaching a document should be completed before approving the transfer is complete.

Benefits

Users
All users

Description
The "work order state" or "work plan type" are not displayed as a selection when selecting inquiry extract fields.  These should be available for viewing in an extract when an inquiry is completed.

Recommended
When creating the initial work order the "work order state" and "work plan type" are a part of the process.  Please make these fields available when selecting fields in an inquiry.   These fields should be viewable when the inquiry is complete.

Mission Critical
This is a critical as the customers are requesting the status of equipment.  The ability to print this information will be beneficial to the the DPAS user and customer as well.

Benefits
Improves/Accuracy/Accountablility

Users
All M&U users.

Description
Proposed Improvement: DMC (USERS) - Request Leidos Developers to add a new feature where, during the WH QC work order request process, an attached file is not only attached to QC in WH, but is also sent along with the QC work order request to M&U.

Recommended
When sending assets to M&U from QC, QC's "Attachments" should also transfer to M&U.

Mission Critical
This is a mandated change due to the communication issue between QC and the M&U module in DPAS when sending work orders.  QC can send an attachment with the work order request to M&U but when M&U opens it the attachment is not with the request. QC does not have the ability to type in information on their COSIS form the only option they have is to specify the level of preservation for the asset and they have a special instruction box that fits a "limited amount of information".

Benefits
Benefits of implementing this solution would improve the accuracy of information being shared on particular assets. It is imperative that the communication channels within DPAS QC and M&U work both ways.

Users
All DMC users affected.
