Description
There is no priority system within M&U and Warehouse to differentiate orders placed. Build a priority system to allow manager/supervisors to prioritize orders made in M&U through Warehouse

Recommended
Create a system in M&U and Warehouse to allow technicians to prioritize orders.

• Priority 1: Emergency
• Priority 2: Critical
• Priority 3: Routine
• Priority 4: Deferred

Build a priority box into the Parts Tab in the Sub Work Order with a drop down menu containing the above priority levels. Priority level needs to start in M&U and reflect in both M&U and Warehouse through out the entire requisition, replenishment  and receiving/approving processes and then back to M&U through the maintenance issue process.

Mission Critical
Mandated. IAW 5.15. General Information. A NMCS condition starts extraordinary supply action by Materiel Control. 5.17.4. The VFM/VMS makes a policy on which MICAP and NMCS conditions they want briefed on and how often. Also, set up a general procedure as to what is unsatisfactory status, thus requiring more action.

Benefits
Prioritizing orders will reduce the time required for vehicles with higher maintenance priorities to receive the parts needed, while avoiding vehicles with lower priorities from being worked first. While reducing time, this SCR will also enable supervisors and technicians to improve the accountability of parts ordered and help achieve better financial reporting by improving accuracy of information provided/extracted from the system.

Users
This System Change Request will affect all users in the AF component

Completed – Release 7.1 – 26 July 2019

Description
In order to meet education requirements for AETC, each class will need to start from a zero based lined Maintenance Activity, with the corresponding PA assets displaying as NPD or Not Profiled.  Corresponding PA Site-IDs will be left as is.

Recommended
Develop script to be run at the schoolhouse's request prior to start of each class.

Mission Critical
This is a mandated requirement to maintain scholastic accreditation.

Benefits
This "reset" function will significantly reduce the time needed to set a Maint Activity to baseline for each Class.

Users
This will affect only users on DF-AETC and DF-AETC2 on the EXT TRAIN environment.

Description
Currently, in the CFO Detail Extract there is not an attribute "Establish Date."  This attribute incorporation will improve the accuracy of the extract report by ensuring the accurate population is in the CFO Detail Extract for the quarter/period.  The current issue is that if the CFO Detail Extract is including population which were processed after the quarter/period.

Recommended
The recommended solution would be to incorporate "Establish Date" into the CFO Detail Extract.

Mission Critical
Yes.  This is mission critical due to the issuance of quarterly USMC standalone financial statements.  The CFO Detail Extract is used to reconcile against the Agency CFO Accounting Statement Report for deriving financial values for personal property for the development of the financial statements.

Benefits
Reduces time/cost, improves, accuracy, accountability and financial reporting.

Users: Yes

Completed - Release 2025.1.4

Description
Currently, in the Agency CFO Accounting Statement Report there is not an option to pick a "Begin Date."  This option incorporation will improve the accuracy of the CFO Report by ensuring the accurate values are generated in the quarter/period.  The current issue is that the CFO Report does not have an option of picking a begin date.  The begin date is defaulted to the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year (For example, 10/01/2016).  The main issue arises when attempting to download the Second Quarter CFO Report.  The CFO Report is generated by using the begin date 10/01/2016, therefore, consolidates all Q1 and Q2 accounts and associated values for the quarter/period.

Recommended
The recommended solution would be to incorporate "Begin Date" into the Agency CFO Accounting Statement Report.

Mission Critical
Yes.  This is mission critical due to the issuance of quarterly USMC standalone financial statements.  The Agency CFO Accounting Statement Report accounts and values are used to reconcile against the Agency CFO Accounting Statement Report for deriving financial values for personal property for the development of the financial statements. 

Benefits
Reduces time/cost, improves, accuracy, accountability and financial reporting.

Users
Yes

Completed - Release 2025.1.3

Description
USSOCOM is implementing DPAS along with SPECWARCOM, AFSOC, MARSOC and possibly other special operations.  With these implementations, there is a need by USSOCOM to maintain visibility of materiel/equipment that might not otherwise be provided.

Recommended
It is requested that DPAS provide a daily feed in a comma delimited or xml format containing data elements as outlined in the attachment.  USSOCOM will process the file and populate their their Total Asset Vis system (SOLMAN).

Mission Critical
Yes.  USSOCOM requires visibility of all of the their gear for readiness and replacement planning purposes.

Benefits
Without the information, there is no way for USSCOM to accurately report readiness or plan for replacement of outdated / worn gear.

Users
No.  The change would be limited to the SOCs since it is an Asset Visibility feed to USSCOM for SOC items.  Without the feed, USSCOM operates blindly or is forced to obtain manual extracts from each of the SOCs.

Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Description
M&U does not have access to enterprise (Agency/Site) level inquiries

Recommended
Create an Enterprise level of inquiries for M&U just like the enterprise level reporting is offered in the Warehouse module.

Mission Critical
Although neither mission critical nor mandated, this level of inquiry will allow VSCOS access to information needed to manage the AF global fleet without having to resort to multiple inquiries to get information from multiple UIC/MA into a single report

Benefits
This solution ease user-ability and reduce hundreds of man-hours. It will also improve on the accuracy of reports produced by the Enterprise Fleet Management offices and enhance the overall Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness of the AF fleet.

Users
This System Change Request will not only benefit AF fleet management users, but also all users within DoD and federal fleets who require enterprise level reporting.

Description
Limit the time that Closed Work Orders can be updated. Currently, Closed Work Orders can be updated at anytime. A cap should be in place so users cannot delay in making updates/changes or correcting mistakes with Closed Work Orders.

Recommended
Cap the time that Closed Work Orders can be updated to 30 days. Allow for editing within those 30 days but not have to fully reopen the work-order. Option should be edit vs not reopen so the work-orders open/close times aren't affected.

Mission Critical
Mandated. By DoD Regulation 4500 and AFI 24-302 to be able to capture (Vehicle in Commission)VIC/Mission Capable (MC) rates...total time vehicle is in service.

Benefits
This will benefit data accuracy and accountability for the DoD organizations that track VIC/MC rates of the vehicle fleets.

Users
All DoD fleet managers will be effected by this.  

21Feb2025 – cancelled per Luther Meitzner

Description
Add open time to Main Work-order.

Recommended
Add Open/Close time to the main work-order screen. DPAS would run of a 24hr clock and capture when a vehicle work-order actually is ready for maintenance (date and time).

Mission Critical
Mandated. Air Force Maintenance Activities are required to capture start date and time a vehicle is out of service. Regardless, of when it actually arrives to the Maintenance Activity.

Benefits
Capturing time allows the Maintenance Activity to account for NMCM hours. "NMCM HOURS" - Vehicle down for maintenance hours.  Calculated by adding NMCM hours on regular and minor maintenance (Drop in maintenance) work orders from the DPAS Vehicle Master Record. Rounded to the nearest whole hour.
24 hour clock example: 1:00 PM = 1300.  When DPAS calculates NMC, all ‘Available Hours’ are rounded to the nearest whole hour.  Example: A work order opened between 08:00 and 08:29 rounds back to 08:00. A work order opened between 08:30 and 08:59 rounds up to 09:00.
"Available Hours" - The total available hours calculated by taking the sum of 24 hours a day, times the number of days in the month, times the number of vehicles assigned to each fleet’s category/LIN. Available hours for vehicles picked up/transferred off site during the month will be based upon transaction date.

Users
Yes

Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Description
Currently you cannot annotate and track the type of Labor Hours that the technicians operating under using, i.e. normal, training or overtime.

Recommended
Add a "Training Box" and "Overtime box" on the Sub Work Order Labor Tab, that can be easily check. We have attached a screen shot of where the Training Box can be on the screen. The box would only be check if a technician is assisted by a someone in upgrade training. For example: Technician 1 is fully trained on the job however and he has a new airman (Technician 2) performing the job with him for the first time. Technician 1 would simply input his time for the job as usual, Technician 2 would also input his time as normal but would also check the Training Box to indicate that he/she was being trained during this time. These fields/boxes will also be searchable during any work-order and labor inquiries and would also passed over to the GCSS warehouse during ETL run.

Mission Critical
Mandated. To be differentiate between a technician doing work they are qualified on or work they are being trained on. Annotating training time is beneficial in several areas for us. One it provides another avenue to properly track individual and maintenance facilities training programs. Two it provides an ability to view work that was done by an individual in training in case of an incident investigation and third it allows us to meet contract requirement for one of our weapon system contracts. We're obligated to identify any work and time charged against the 25K Halverson and 60K Tunner aircraft loaders that was performed by technicians in training status. These labor hours will not be charged to the vendor.

Benefits
Benefits will be the proper accounting of hours taken by technicians.

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