Description: 
The existing workflow for securing digital signatures is labor-intensive: users must manually download documents as PDFs, insert signature blocks, facilitate individual signing, and then re-upload the finalized files to ELMS. This multi-step process creates significant administrative lag.

Enable secure digital signing for all issue and return forms (Individual, Unit, and Warehouse) using a DOD CAC reader for signing the transaction.  Similar to using a signature pad the digital signature will stay on the issue/return record.

Mission Critical: 

Benefits: 
This implementation will significantly streamline equipment processing times, accelerating the turnaround for Individual, Unit, and Warehouse transactions.

Description: 
The current automated version of the AFTO Form 244 does not fully comply with Air Force policy requiring accurate documentation of maintenance and inspections on aviation support equipment (ASE) as outlined in TO 00-20-1 and AvSE Interim Guidance. Current guidance requires the phase out ELMS auto-generated 244 and use of DAF AFTO 244 upon completion of inspection or requiring new DAF AFTO 244 whichever comes first.  Specifically, it does not allow for proper inclusion of status symbols or the documentation of partially mission capable (PMC) conditions, which are essential for tracking ASE readiness and serviceability.

 

A SCR is underway to incorporate PMC status and additional capabilities into the automated AFTO 244.  It would be beneficial to align the automated output with the AFTO 244 with the requirements set forth in TO 00-20-1, would improve accuracy and reduce the risk of documentation errors.  Additionally, work plan description and work order data fields should be aligned to populate the AFTO 244 with the Service Requested as documented in the work order.  This will provide a more detailed description of the discrepancy listed on the AFTO 244. See attached examples

Mission Critical: 

Standardization of the form would improve accuracy and reduce the risk of documentation errors for field personnel utilizing the automated and official DAF AFTO 244 form, AvSE MIS Interim Guidance requires use of DAF AFTO 244 and phase out of auto-generated ELMS 244.

The Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) users rely on the Inventory Transaction Inquiry on the ICP side to support end of month inventory reporting. Currently, this inquiry only displays the Unit Price, which does not always reflect the actual document unit price used at the time of the transaction. As a result, UDC personnel must navigate to Warehouse module ro locate the document unit price and do manual calculations, creating inefficiencies and increasing the risk of reporting discrepencies.
For example, in the UDC ICP (USCG) - Stock Nbr - BCPL. The Unit Price is $9.94,  but the document unit price is $8.57.

Add Document Unit Price as a selectable grid option within the Inventory Transaction Inquiry.

Mission Critical: 

Implementing this solution would eliminate the need to cross reference the warehouse module and provide a single authoritative source for reporting.

The registry currently does not have the capability to manually close out  In-Transit Registry Assets. This is required as there are many in-transits shipments that are not being auto-closed. Presently, SOCOM Registry does not reflect an accurate status of Small Arms/Light Weapons serial number data at the USSOCOM Registry.

System should allow capability to manually update in-transits for shipments that are already received by the gaining unit and verified by the designated SOCOM user. SOCOM requests a Manual Close-out capability in Registry similar to the manual update function at ICP with the ability to attach supporting transaction documents.

Mission Critical: 
To follow DLMS 4000-25, Volume 2, Chapter 30

In the current Warehouse module, there is no functionality to add stock numbers that were not originally designated as Kits to the SKO Catalog. The existing rule set dictates that if any verified transactions—regardless of their state (open or closed)—exist for a stock number where it was treated as a normal end item, that stock number cannot later be designated as an SKO Header in the SKO Catalog.
This restriction applies to all transaction types, including receiving transactions. For example, if assets were ever received into the Logistics Point (LP) under a stock number as normal end items, the act of receiving those assets permanently prevents that stock number from being converted into an SKO Header in the SKO Catalog, even if the inventory associated with that stock number is subsequently removed. This limitation ensures consistency in the system but may require additional planning when managing stock numbers intended for SKO use.

 

 

Enable the capability to utilize previously used stock numbers, even those with historical records as assets categorized as end items, as SKO Headers within the SKO Catalog. This functionality would provide greater flexibility in managing stock numbers, allowing them to be repurposed for kitting processes while maintaining consistency and traceability in the system.

 

Army Regulation (AR) 700-18: Covers logistics and supply chain management, including kitting processes.
MIL-STD-973: Establishes standards for configuration management across DoD programs.

Reducing this limitation enhances system flexibility while maintaining consistency, allowing users to fully meet the intent of various kitting functionalities. This improvement supports diverse configurations within the SKO process, enabling more efficient management and adaptation to evolving operational requirements.

When navigating to Inquiries and then Issue/Return Activity, issue, return, and charge transactions are not visible by default and require expanding the arrow for each transaction to view the details.

 

 Configure the Issue/Return Activity screen to display issue, return, and charge transactions by default, eliminating the need to expand the arrow for each transaction. The current Issue with Return Details view is close to the desired outcome; however, the goal is to display all transactions line by line without requiring users to expand each entry to view returns, issues, or charges. All existing columns—such as cost, issuer, item, and related details—are already correct and should remain unchanged.

Users: This system is used daily to review and manage issue, return, and charge transactions as part of regular operational workflows. Users rely on it to quickly access complete transaction details, verify accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and support timely decision-making. Because the system is a routine part of daily work, clear visibility of all transaction types is essential to ensure efficient reviews, reduce delays, and maintain accuracy across ongoing operations.

ELMS sends Property Accountability and Warehouse materiel / assets to Advana as part of its Asset Feed each Saturday and the first of the month.  It does not send materiel / assets that are managed by Contractor Operated Inventory Control Points (C-ICPs) or materiel managed by External Remote Storage Activities e.g. DLA, Army, Navy, etc. that are being reported to the ELMS Materiel Mgmt. application.  Including this materiel in the data feed will provide full visibility to the owners.

 

1. Add materiel / assets to the ELMS Advana Asset Feed that are not managed within ELMS, but are reported to ELMS Materiel Mgmt.  Client Cd 'C', 'E' and 'R' apply.
2. Make the same extract available to other entities that utilize the same feed e.g. Vantage, LDS/MDR, SOLMAN, NSWC, etc. should they wish to receive this data as part of the ELMS feed.
