Completed – Release 6.2 – 31 August 2018

Description
- Issue 1: In block (1.) The system automatically generates an (X) in the "Turn -In" box. This form is to identify assets that have been issued, transferred, and turned-in but we have no way to select the appropriate action. DPAS puts an X in the Turn-in box if the doc number used to create the 1150 was used in any type of disposition action in DPAS. Note this includes a disposition that is a transfer out of DPAS
- Issue 2: In block (3.) The location box does not generate the loaded DODAAC. The system requires to load an address with a DODAAC but does not generate it on the form. A location/ address may have 20 different DODAACs associated with the same address. For accountability, we need to clearly state the appropriate DODAAC/UIC the assets will be issued to.
**Temporary Fix - Load UIC in the Activity name**
- Issue 3: In block 9 (4) "Stock Number"- the actual stock number/ National Stock Number (NSN) is not generated. The system generates a partial stock number along with a partial description. Our team has a large number of assets being fielded to an Army Unit, the NSN is crucial to verify that the correct assets are being picked up on their property book. The asset ID is only helpful to people who actually have access to DPAS, in any other case this number does not aid in identifying the asset.

Recommended
Issue 1- Provide the ability to select the appropriate box for the type action.
Issue 2- Provide a space on the Form where the DODAAC will auto generate.
Issue 3- Generate the actual Stock number on the Form.

Mission Critical
Mission Critical. This form is the only form generated to provide proof that an item has been removed from the system. For accountability, we will not be able to verify (without an NSN) the appropriate assets have been removed from the system. The lack of information hinders the issuing/ receiving PBO to sign for items they cannot verify.

Benefits
Improves Accuracy, Accountability and Financial Reporting.

Users
This issue affects all users, as it does not allow users at accurately generate information needed on the form.

07Nov2018 – cancelled per Kevin Callahan

Description
Currently, the Cal Date and Next Cal Date is not resident on the DW05UA Receipt(Unit Returnable Items List). These dates need to be added so the Responsible Officer knows when the item(s) Cal Dates are due.

Recommended
Recommend adding Cal Date and Next Cal Date to the DW05UA Receipt.

Mission Critical
Yes, the Responsible Officer needs the visibility to know when Cal Dates are required.

Benefits
This will improve the Responsible Officers awareness of Calibration due dates.

Users
This will affect all UIF users in the Warehouse Module.

11 Mar 2021 – cancelled per Jack Sanders
No Longer Needed.

Description
The obligation document would be better suited if it were on the Basic Tab when receiving the asset through DAI.

Recommended
Please move the obligation document number forward in the receiving process to the Basic tab.

Mission Critical
When DAI and DPAS are integrated, the obligation document number being at the beginning of the receiving will make receiving assets through the DAI/DPAS easier.

Benefits
This will reduce, time, cost and will also improve accuracy in accountability and financial reporting.

Users
This will affect all users within the MDA program.

Description
When scheduling the Fiscal Year report (Rpt ID: LPWHR15) by Region, or Site, the current process does not have summary tabs. A summary tab will allow for a roll up view of all warehouses listed under a region.

Recommended
Request a Summary Tab(s) be created for each type of facility (UIF, IIF, and as other agencies have identified). The Summary Tab will be created whenever a Regional Fiscal Report is generated. It will display in the same format with the same type of transactions, dollar value of transactions, and inventory value but captured as an aggregate under the Region or site.

Mission Critical
Yes. Allows for higher headquarters a roll up view of their business volume by region.

Benefits
Reduces time, cost, and manpower associated to creating this type regularly.

Users
Yes. All regions and any agency who require aggregate views of this information.

Description
Customer Mgmt > Member Profile - we need visibility of the sizes crew members are assigned and ability to track/view actual crew member sizes.

Recommended
Add tabs on member profile: chem equip, flight equip, oversized equip, anti-exposure, medical info; see attachment for required fields. All fields need to have a secondary field that shows "assigned sizes", which are the sizes of equipment actually assigned to the member. This gives us the ability to see any mismatches due to shortage of equipment.

Mission Critical
Critical. We need to ensure members get the proper size gear. If they receive the wrong size due to shortage we need to be able to identify that and correct the issue when gear becomes available. It is also critical that we have actual member size requirements in order to properly forecast equipment needs.

Benefits
Assurance that crew-members have the right equipment. Increased forecasting accuracy

DUPLICATE – SCR 00890 is original entry.

Description
We have 5 day, weekly, 30 day insp, etc. The current system design auto populates the inspections 30 days in advance. we have items that will always show up on the scope. We cannot update these kits while an inspection is assigned to them.

Recommended
At the NSN level, allow a tailorable lead time for when the inspection will auto generate. In addition un-allocate an item that has a QC assigned so we can update them.

Mission Critical
We will not be able to use the auto generation feature for QCs until this is fixed. we currently have to fail an item, update it, then create a new inspection to sign it off as passed.

Benefits
Time savings, accurate list of due inspections.

DUPLICATE – SCR 00962 is original entry.

Description

Recommended
A Return should be generated automatically when an issue occurs. You should be able to find the return by two additional means: Scanning the ICN, or Scanning the issue receipt

Mission Critical
Critical. We issue items to a crew member and they return them in a drop box. they are not present when items are returned in the system. Also we issue kits for a crew to a crew member and they are not always the member who returns them.

Benefits
We will be able to return items we issue
