01047 Adding sub hand receipt information to remarks area PA DTRA New

Description
No deciphering of sub hand receipts when they are degenerated.  Do not know what report is what, have to click on each individual one.  If people are on the 5th or 6th one, they click on it two to three times because they loose track of which one they have just opened up.

Recommended
To add the name or cube number in the remarks section of each sub hand receipt when its created so that they don't have to double click to see if they have opened one up or not.  Very tedious and with the sub location or name listed under remarks, it would help to find the information faster. 

Mission Critical
Yes, it would save a lot of time for the Property Custodians  especially since this is their second duty and the Property Administrators as well. 

Benefits
Reduces time of opening and saving reports in DPAS.  Plus it would make Custodian more aware if their information is correct or not. 

Users

01046 Warehouse Maint Mgmt of Parachutes Warehouse Navy New

Description
SPECWARCOM currently uses a system called SWALIS for accountability and several  Forms / Local Databases to manage inspection / maintenance actions of their parachutes.  With SPECWARCOM transitioning to DPAS, there is a need to be able to capture the Parachute maintenance actions and print a form for the Paraloft Team.  This SCR is being submitted as a result of a requirements gathering meeting with SPECWARCOM.  The SPECWARCOM POC is: Brent Hull.

Recommended
Modify the QC/Inspection process to allow for the posting of changes when the main parachute, reserve parachute and or components are replaced.  The inspection will denote the date and who repacked the parachute along with the date QC "Inspector" of the repack/replacement.  Both signatures should be able to be captured via E-Sign, D-Sign or via a Manual Signature.  This change also identifies the need to provide for printing of an inspection record that denotes the Mfr Dt, Placed in Service Dt and it End Use Dt for the main end item along with its components.  See forms for example.  

Mission Critical
SPECWARCOM is transitioning away from SWALIS (eliminating the system) to DPAS.   Several of the Warehouses expressed a need for this capability prior to their transition to DPAS.

Benefits
Eliminates several systems which will save the Department several million dollars/year.

Users
This capability could improve current users and future users of the Unit Issue Processes by streamlining the data capture (items must be Bar Coded to be most effective).

01044 Unit Issue via Handheld Terminal / Tablet Warehouse Navy New

Description
SPECWARCOM currently uses a system called SWALIS.  It has the capability for the user to scan the materiel they will issue, then import the list of materiel into the system to complete the Unit Issue, Printing of the DD Fm 1149 and obtaining the Custodian's Signature.  This SCR is being submitted as a result of a requirements gathering meeting with SPECWARCOM.  The SPECWARCOM POC is: Brent Hull.

Recommended
Develop a Unit Issue/Return process for the HHT/Tablet that will enable the warehouse worker to capture the materiel to be issued/returned.  The process would then allow for the import of the data captured via a docking station or via wireless (WIFI) communication to the DPAS server to allow for the Issue / Return to be completed using the standard DPAS Unit Issue/Return processes.    While this the minimum requirement, being able to perform the full Unit Issue from the HHT/Tablet would be considered an improvement over the current requirements as long as the HHT/Tablet process could accommodate the custodian signature capture and the printing of the DD Fm 1149 (Issue Documentation) without having to login to the Desktop Terminal.   

Mission Critical
SPECWARCOM is transitioning away from SWALIS (eliminating the system) to DPAS.   Several of the Warehouses expressed a need for this capability prior to their transition to DPAS.

Benefits

Recommended
Provide the capability to Sub Custody a Unit Issue.  Provide Custodian Access capability which would allow the Custodian to perform a Sub Custody action similar to what the Warehouse personnel would perform, and provide the capability to transition item on a Unit Issue to an Individual Issue.

Benefits
Eliminates a system which will save the Department several million dollars/year.

Users
This capability would affect users of the Unit Issue Processes.  The DPAS PM and DPAS Developers saw a need for this capability "as a process improvement" during the initial data requirements gathering for the CSP Program's transition to DPAS.

01042 Custodian access to full inventory module for 1024 role PA Navy Removed

Description
Navy has many Site IDs/Accountable UIC's set up in a regional concept.  Under this concept the UIC is a Region or Center and Custodians are themselves UIC's with APO's assigned to manage their property with Navy PPM 1024 role access - to their custodian account. Today users with Navy PPM 1024 role access to a custodian account can only initiate Custodian or Sub Custodian Inventories in DPAS.  They cannot initiate a Custom, Location, Cyclic, or Sensitive Inventory, if they initiate one of these Inventories, they will not be able to access that inventory.

Recommended
Permit Navy APO's with Navy role 1024 to be able to generate inventories for all inventory methods available in DPAS to include custodian, location, custom, cyclic, and sensitive and be able to use the manage inventories process to reconcile only those inventories that belong to their custodian account, as well as use the update inventory process for assets only in their custodian account.   Giving these APO's access to the UIC will provide them access to manage assets that do not belong to their UIC (i.e.; custodian account) so that is not the solution. 

Mission Critical
both critical and mandated.  Navy Custodians in a Regional or Center organizational set up are independent APO's and need full Inventory access only to their assets.

Benefits
Improves accuracy and accountability of assets.

Users
This involves Navy Site ID's:  NT-MPTE, NI-CNI, NW-SWC, NU-AAUSN, NV-CRES, NF-FACW, NF-FAC
