00999 Allow the Reuse of Previously Assigned NSN, ID, and SN PA MDA New

Description
MDA is a Research, Development & Test organization supporting all of the US Military Service Branches. Assets are often transferred to the Military not knowing if those same assets will return to MDA for an upgrade, refurbishment or even re use. MDA would like to have the ability to reuse the same National Stock Number, Serial Number and Asset ID as previously sent to another organization.

Recommended
MDA request the ability to receive an asset back into DPAS without having to change the National Stock Number, the original Asset ID and/or the Serial Number. All the information will remain the same even after the asset has been sent to an outside agency.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical. MDA should be allow to use the same National Stock Number, Serial Number as well as the Asset ID. The same assets are being sent back to MDA with the same fields as the asset was sent to the services or outside location.

Benefits
It would save everyone time having the ability to return assets to DPAS with the original fields. It would also insure depreciation, history and the overall uniqueness of the assets remains the same.

00998 OMS Submit Change Request Form 2015 CPO PA MDA Done

Description
MDA has opted to use actual historical cost for MDA missiles and spares recorded in DPAS, instead of moving average cost. Moving average cost is usually used for inventory items with frequent turnover, and minimal change in cost from acquisition to acquisition to replenish inventory. MDA's missiles and spares can have a significant variance in acquisition cost per Contract/CLIN acquiring the items, low consumption rate, and are managed by serial number. Many of the missiles are destined for transfer to a Service, and MDA would prefer to keep the valuation of the missiles as actual historical cost. At this time DPAS does not have a way to track OM&S at actual historical cost and MDA is requesting a system change to allow for this option.

Recommended
MDA would like a new Type Asset Code in the DPAS Catalog called OM&S. This new Type Asset Code would be for Missiles, Rockets, Rocket Stages, Rocket Motors, etc. It would allow MDA to report the total number of OM&S and value whenever needed.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical. MDA must know how many Missiles, Rocket and Rocket Parts are currently on hand in DPAS with the total cost for each asset.

Benefits
A report would keep the financial group from going through every asset file to report the number of missiles as well as the actual cost of each.

Users
This would affect all users within our component and agency.
