Description
To assist with Mission Scheduling, the Resource Manager requires access to DPAS M&U>Dispatch A/U to add a Dispatch Request to meet mission. There is no workaround with current roles. Roles either give too much or too little functionality. The M&U Officer/Dispatch Officer are not involved in process until Dispatch Issued.

Recommended
Request Resource Manager Role (to be expanded with DPAS Scheduler) that will allow:
Equipment Pool Selection
Basic Tab:
  Dispatch Status Code: RQ - Requested (only) 
  Dispatch Category/Sub Category selection 
  Est Issue/Return Dt/Tm
  Dispatch Purpose 
  Dispatched To
Customer Tab:  All

Mission Critical
Mission Critical - the Resource Manager is responsible for initially identifying the platforms to meet mission and ensure costing is accurately established.

Benefits
Accurately establishes future Dispatch request which will reduce Dispatch issue time and ensure vehicle availability.

Users
M&U

Description
Fleet Mangers cannot capture utilization on vehicles on extended dispatch (30 day) until returned and then it is labor intensive to transfer data from the Equipment Utilization Form to the Maintenance Asset Utilization screen.

Recommended
Create a role where the a person as the access to record information within the DPAS Maintenance Asset Utilization Record. Record Only.

Mission Critical
Mandated to meet the weekly utilization recording. Has been accomplishing via paper but no visibility outside of Motor Pool.

Benefits
Reduces time for capturing meter data in FMIS. More accurate meter reading because asset is with person. Keeps 'Meter Utilization Not Reported' off the M&U Maint Action List.

Just those in M&U with extended dispatches.

Completed – Release 6.3.1 – 11 January 2019

Description
This System Change Request is submitted on behalf of the Air Force's initiative to obtain Accountability and Accounting for Operating Materiel and Supplies (OM&S) owned by the Air Force, but purchased and managed by a Contractor. Currently the contractors managing the OM&S must submit manual reports. The AF proposed solution is to capture the receipts, issues, and inventory adjustments occurring within the contractor systems, and transmit them to a government system (DPAS) via DLMS transactions. For those commercial entities operating systems that cannot support the DLMS transaction, they will be potential candidates for use of the DPAS warehouse module. The Air Force POC for this SCR is: Quitty Lawrence This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Recommended
Provide the capability to receive and process DLMS transactions within the ICP module for OM&S. The ICP module will retain the balance of inventory on hand via managing receipts, issues and inventory adjustments, and report the $ value using the Moving Average Cost methodology as specified within DoD 7000.14R via a DPAS produced Trial Balances and/or providing an automated financial feed to DoD accounting systems that require this data.

Mission Critical
Yes. Air Force is using this solution to support FIAR compliance for GFM held by the contractor.

Benefits
The proposed solution, when implemented automate the process, thus improving accuracy, reduce the level of effort in acquiring the data from approx 120+ contractors.

Users
The changes to the system will benefit organizations that utilize the warehouse module that are not using an external ICP to manage their inventories.

Description
Inability to input incoming meter reading for maintenance/new-work-orders.? See SCR 641 as well.

Recommended
Will give the M&U user the ability to input incoming meter reading for maintenance/new-work-order meter reading. This would trigger any PMI from scheduler associated by M/H/K to flag and be identified at opening of work-order. Allowing the user to load the maintenance plan/sub-work orders to the new work-order being open. The current ending meter should default from opening meter input but be editable if there is a change (i.e. vehicle is test driven, left idling or driven to off site repair location).

Mission Critical
Mission Critical. This saves the user time, prevents scheduled PMI or critical safety inspections from being missed at the beginning of the repair process. Our current legacy system captures incoming meter reading and flags are pertinent services that are due. However, we do not have a ending meter reading.

Benefits
The benefits of implementing this solution would include reduced time, improve in service time of assets by not having to be returned to maintenance for a PMI that was missed because it was trigger by M/H/K.

Users
Yes. This change will affect all Vehicle Management units across the Air Force.

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.
