Description:
Presently, changes made below the Project Level during Asset record updates are suppressed by DPAS due to initial configuration. When changes are required at the subtask level, this information (though corrected in DPAS) is not sent to DAI.

Recommended:
Request DPAS transmit updates made at the subtask level to DAI.

Description:
MDA has 18 UICs, and at present has to manually add all Fund Codes to the Master Data/Appropriation table in each UIC for the Fund Codes to be available for selection when creating Local Due-Ins, CIP Projects or Asset Records.

Recommended:
Request ability to add all Fund Codes one time via Agency level AND/OR request automated update of Fund Codes per DAI to DPAS data transfer.

Mission Critical:
Mission Critical.  All fund code appropriations data must be entered into DPAS prior to an asset being received as a Due In.

Benefits:
Reduces man hours spent entering Fund Code Appropriation data.
Minimize manual entry errors.

Users:
All Users in the Agency

Description:
MDA funds assets with multiple Lines of Accounting. Due to current DPAS functionality, when Due-Ins or Asset records are created, the user is only able to select one line of accounting to the record. There is no additional way to reflect more than one line of funding on a Due-In record, and the work around solution for Due In Asset Records is to identify the additional funding through adding an improvement per funding line. As MDA has numerous assets that are funded by multiple lines, This proves to be a tremendous challenge when attempting to identify true improvements versus improvements added to reflect all funding lines.

Recommended:
Request ability for the user to select multiple fund codes when creating local Due-Ins, Projects and Asset records.

Mission Critical:
Mission Critical.  MDA needs to be able to track Due In assets with Multiple lines of accounting.

Benefits:
Improves Accuracy, Accountability and Financial Reporting

10May2017 – cancelled per Joe Stossel  

Description:
Warehouse lacks the ability to track parts warranties

Recommended:
Please add necessary fields in the receiving process to capture vehicle part warranties. This in turn will allow warranty management of all vehicle parts. Please see word document attachment for detailed information regarding changes/additions requested.

Mission Critical:
Both Mandated and Critical.  Air Force Instruction 24-302 (June 2012) 4.5.1.3. mandates Material Control sections to track, identify all parts and assemblies under warranty.

Benefits:
Tracking parts warranty is mandatory. Vehicle Fleet management shops will not be in compliance until warranty management is added to the warehouse module.

Users:
The entire Air Force component, as well as other services, will benefit form the addition of warranty tracking capability by warehouse.

21Feb2025 – cancelled per Luther Meitzner

Description
Modify existing interface with GCSS-AF Data Services to include data that is applicable to equipment management (we currently receive vehicle data).  AF is building a Business Intelligence tool to track equipment metrics and trends.

Recommended
Modify existing interface to include tables/data elements in attached excel file.

Mission Critical

Completed – Release 7.1.2 – 30 Aug 2019

Description
Warehouse does not allow double status for National Guard personnel when creating new member profiles.

Recommended
Enable Dual Status for National Guard Members

Mission Critical
Mandated. National Guard members need a way to be identified with dual status in Warehouse just like they are able to be identified with double status in the M&U module.

Benefits
Enabling National Guard members to be identified with dual status (Military/Civ) will improve stock accountability of tools and equipment in the issue process of Warehouse and proper accounting of military and civilian labor time for ANG members.

Users
All users within the DoD ANG components will be positively affected by this change.

Between several upgrades to WH module over the last few years as well as our firmer grasp of how the system works, please cancel this SCR.

Description
Build sub-locations in Warehouse to improve inventory management of supply stock, tools and equipment.

Recommended
Build another Warehouse level below the Location Level (Sub-Locations).

Mission Critical
Critical.  Air Force Matériel Control (MatCon) sections require a very detailed process to track, account and issue vehicle parts, equipment and tools.

Benefits
Creating sub-locations will enable MatCon sections to exponentially improve inventory management by enabling true calculations of stock levels, enhancing the replenishment process and cutting down on excess or obsolete stock. Improving inventory management will in turn reduce costs resulting in savings to the Air Force Fleet Management enterprise

Users
All Materiel controllers Air Force wide will benefit from the creation of Sub-locations by improving inventory management and cutting costs related to wrong inventory stock levels.

Between several upgrades to WH module over the last few years as well as our firmer grasp of how the system works, please cancel this SCR.

Description
When adding a kit to the SKO catalog, you can only add one component at the time. Include capability to add multiple components at once.

Recommended
Enable Warehouse to add multiple Kit items when loading/updating a Kit in the SKO catalog

Mission Critical
Critical.  Air Force Vehicle Management sections utilize hundreds of diverse tool kits to perform maintenance in their vehicle fleet. Loading kits in the SKO catalog one by one will be time consuming resulting in wasted man-hours. Current process is not efficient.

Benefits
Enabling Warehouse SKO catalog loading to accept multiple Kit items instead of loading them one by one will save thousands of labor hours

Users
Not only will the Air Force component benefit from this SCR but all DoD and Federal services using DPAS and the SKO function. The capability will be more user friendly and save numerous man-hours.

Between several upgrades to WH module over the last few years as well as our firmer grasp of how the system works, please cancel this SCR.

Description
Vehicle Management Matériel Controls (MatCons) are required to pull information regarding parts ordered, due-ins and back orders. Asset Id, Requisition Status, Parts Cost, Work Order State Code and Location are paramount for retrieving part inquiries, accurate inventory and supplying high visibility reports. This information cannot be retrieved from warehouse as of today. Recommend adding the Asset Id Information, Requisition Status, Cost and Location to the Work Order Inquiry.

Recommended
Recommend adding the Asset Id Information, Requisition Status, Parts Cost, Work Order State Code and Location to the Work Order Inquiry Grid Options. Add Asset Id to Work Order Inquiry Search Criteria.

Mission Critical
Mandated by Air Force Instruction 24-302.  Air Force MatCon sections require a very detailed process to track, account and issue vehicle parts. See AFI 24-302 references below

• 5.2.1. Keep FM&A and key personnel informed of overall supply situation as it affects the shop.
• 5.2.6. Check daily and verify the need and status of parts for all NMCS (vehicles down for parts) vehicles.
• 5.2.7. Check, verify and re-validate all parts requirements on delayed AF Form 1823/-1.
  Inform the FM&A Workload Controller of their status, as directed by the VFM/VMS.
• 5.2.23. Perform monthly or quarterly (as directed by VFM/VMS) AF Form 1823/-1 backorder validation with FM&A.

Benefits
Adding all information requested above to the Work order inquiry will enable MatCon personnel, technicians and Fleet Managers to have direct access to this critical information. Added information allows Fleet Managers to approve or disapprove requisitions based on priorities assigned to those assets. Further more, it will lead to enhanced supply discipline as mandated in AFI 23-101, Air Force Matériel Management. 

Users
This added information will help not only Air Force Materiel Control operations but also all organizations which use the Maintenance Issue process in coordination with the M&U module.

Completed – Release 6.0 – 27 April 2018

Description:
Proposed Improvement:
DMC (USERS) - request the capability to add remarks regardless of the status of the MRO

Recommended:
The User wants to add remarks regardless of the status of the MRO. Add remarks anytime even without affecting/changing/transacting on the MRO

Mission Critical:
This is a mandated change due to the frequent occurrence of users needing to supply additional detail metrics that have already been stored in DPAS.  For example, after shipments, users may need to provide details that differ from DPAS' stored data.  An example could be indicating that a Serial Number was shipped incorrectly or that Incorrect TCN information was supplied.

Benefits:
Benefits of implementing this solution would improve the accuracy and accountability of assets, as they process through the various Document Stage Codes (RE=Released, SH=Shipped, CN=Cancelled, PS=Partially Shipped, or DN=Denied) of the MRO.

Users:
All DMC users affected
