01185 Existing Open Work Order message MU AF: VSCOS Done

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.

01183 Auto fill all date fields from the Receipt Date input field and remove the Return Date field from the open work order screen MU AF: VSCOS Removed

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.

Recommended

01181 Catalog Stock Number Field Warehouse AF: VSCOS Removed

Description
The Add Stock Number field does not allow any special characters and it is limited to only 15 characters in length. Many vehicle manufacturers and commercial vendors utilize special characters in their part numbers. The current DPAS Warehouse add stock number field parameters make it very difficult for these vehicle part numbers (that are not NSNs) to be inputted into DPAS. When changes are made to make these part numbers fit such parameters, the entire part number is changed and no longer a valid manufacturer part number.

Recommended

  1. Open the add stock number field to accept as a minimum these special characters "-", ".", "/",
  2. Accept up to 25 characters in length.

Mission Critical
It is mission critical to be able to find the correct part number for vehicles being maintained. If correct part numbers are not found/used this in turn could lead to wrong parts being ordered, used and ultimately could cause safety mishaps. 

Benefits
Allowing for special characters and increasing the length of the stock number will enable for more accurate parts research and decrease the chances of wrong parts being ordered and used. Utilizing the correct parts will save money and increase the safety and serviceability of vehicles.

Users
This change will positively impact not only Air Force users but all DPAS Warehouse users as well.
