00971	Disposition Delete Feature	Warehouse	USMC: CSP	Removed	Description Currently, after adding a disposition to the disposition grid there is no way to delete that disposition. This is needed to help manage the disposition grid and delete any items from the disposition grid if needed. Recommended Recommending adding a delete button to the disposition grid for each disposition transaction. For each transaction that has to be deleted, the appropriate audit transaction should reflect and undo any actions that may have occurred. Mission Critical This will help users be able to delete disposition transactions out of the disposition grid. Benefits This will increase data accuracy. Users All IIF & UIF 11 Mar 2021 – cancelled per Jack Sanders No Longer Needed.
00970	Stock Number Grid Options Additions	Warehouse	USMC	Removed	Description Currently in Catalog Mgmt, Stock Number, Grid Options columns there are no columns for Test Date Interval and Maintenance Date Interval. Recommended Recommend that Test Date Interval and Maintenance Date Interval be added to the Catalog Management and Stock Number Grid Options columns. Mission Critical Yes. This will help with the managing and exporting of the Catalog from the DPAS-WM. Benefits This will reduce time and cost with this functionality. Users All IIF & UIF 21Nov2016 – cancelled per Kendall Outlaw SCR 00970 can be closed because of the capabilities in the Inspection/Action under Catalog Mgmt.
00969	UI Column Added to Receipt	Warehouse	USMC: CSP	Removed	Description Currently, there is no ability to view the U/I information in the receipt for Unit and Individual issue. For Example if the receipt displays a qty of 2 socks, the U/I column on the receipt would display "pair", or "PR", describing 2 pair of socks. Recommended Recommend adding the Unit of Issue column in both Individual and Unit issue. The UI should be derived from the Logistics Program Catalog. Mission Critical This will enable UIF's and IIF's to issue and identify the correct qty of items listed on the receipt. Benefits This will make the qty of items needed to issue easier to view. Users All UIF and IIF 11 Mar 2021 – cancelled per Jack Sanders No Longer Needed.
00968	SCR968_SCR_TCPT	MU	Other	New	Description An interface to the Marine Corps' Transportation Capacity Planning Tool (TCPT) eliminates dual reservation entry. Operating forces on our installations required this capability in order to check the availability and maximize the use of, less costly to operate non-tactical vehicles, and dispatch tactical vehicles only if NTVs are not available for the mission. Recommended Attached is a prototype of a TCPT TMR export, formatted as XML. Mission Critical Mission critical Benefits Reduces cost of using ME for all ops and reduces time by not duplicating efforts Users
00967	AF Authorization subs	PA	Air Force	Removed	Description Currently DPAS creates a master authorization using three components (UIC, LIN/TAMCN, Paragraph Number). The Air Force manages authorizations at a detail (sub) authorization level by using four components (UIC, LIN/TAMCN, Paragraph Number and the fourth component being Authorization document number). This number is currently auto generated by the APSR and is a dimension required for AF authorization audibility. Recommended Enable DPAS to create authorizations at the detail/sub level using the Authorization Document Number as a fourth component to generating authorizations. This added dimension will allow the AF to manage and delineate authorizations at their required detail level. When creating a new authorization, the system will auto generate the next available authorization document number using the AF naming convention within that UIC. Once, this is accomplished, AF assets will be loaded to the detail/sub authorization and it's obligation document number will be automatically assigned using the authorization document number, allowing the asset to inherit the authorization document number the asset is assigned to. Mission Critical Mandated. The AF manages authorizations and assets at the detail/sub level for various reasons. When certain attributes of the authorization and/or the asset are unique, the authorizations are required and managed at the detail level, some of those attributes are but are not limited to, Unit Type Codes (UTC), use codes, etc. Benefits The benefits of implementing this solution will allow for the central managers of AF authorizations to effectively manage AF authorizations and the assets assigned to them per AF policy, audibility and necessity. The ability to have an organized structure for the management of over 90k assets is paramount to Positive Inventory Control. Users Yes. This change will affect all Vehicle Management units across the Air Force. Additional Information Making the proposed change to DPAS is a necessity for the management of AF vehicle authorizations and assets. This change can also positively impact other AF equipment commodities if they were to utilize DPAS as the APSR. 21Feb2025 – cancelled per Luther Meitzner
00966	Warehouse Transfer Edit	Warehouse	USMC: CSP	Removed	Description Currently, after adding a Warehouse Transfer to the Warehouse Transfer grid there is no way to edit or delete the Transfer. The only way to move the transfer off the grid is to complete the shipping process. This makes it impossible for users to edit the amount being shipped or even delete the warehouse transfer when added to the grid. Recommended Recommend adding an Edit and Delete button once the warehouse transfer is added to the warehouse transfer grid. The edit button should give the users the ability to edit the quantity being sent and the condition code. The delete button should give the user the option to delete the warehouse transfer off the warehouse transfer grid. These options should also modify any auditable transactions that have yet completed. Mission Critical This will help users be able to edit and delete warehouse transfer grids. Benefits This will increase data accuracy and reduce times for managing warehouse transfers. Users All IIF & UIF 11 Mar 2021 – cancelled per Jack Sanders No Longer Needed.
00965	Unit Issue Export Report for Reconciling by TAMCN	Warehouse	USMC: CSP	Removed	Description Currently, after exporting a reconciliation sheet for a unit reconciliation there is no way to sort the gear by TAMCN. There should be a way for the reconciliation sheet to be listed in TAMCN sequence which would make it much easier for the Responsible Officer to reconcile. Recommended Recommend adding a sort feature to the reconciliation sheet that allows users to sort by TAMCN sequence. Mission Critical This will help Responsible Officers reconcile their gear. Benefits This will reduce the time it takes for the Responsible Officer to Reconcile his unit issue. Users All IIF & UIF 11 Mar 2021 – cancelled per Jack Sanders No Longer Needed.
00964	Cataloging Role	Warehouse	USMC	Removed	Description Currently, there is no way to reduce the amount of users who have access to the stock number table and that can edit that table. This table needs to be restricted to the enterprise level (Logistics Program) so that all changes in the catalog can be made with the entire enterprise in mind. Recommended Recommend to add a new role called the "Catalog Role". This should be the only role that has rights to change the catalog. The Warehouse officer should not have access to the stock number table. The warehouse officer needs to have rights to the stock item table to be able to add items from the catalog into their warehouse but not add new items to the Logistics Program Catalog. Mission Critical This will help restrict the number of users who can edit the stock number table (Catalog). Benefits This will increase data accuracy since the authority to edit data is restricted to the enterprise level (Logistics Program). Users All IIF & UIF 22Feb2016 – cancelled per Randy Reed This was moved to help desk ticket #7594, to support a new role if required There is a Cataloger Role. The Warehouse Officer Role is basically a "Super User" role. Few users, if any, should actually be granted this role, as no warehouse we have to date uses all of the DPAS Warehouse features. The only processes it does not include are the Armory Issue and Return processes. Unfortunately what occurs "all too often", users are granted the Warehouse Officer role. For Example: I'm not sure why a person working the Lejeune STAP warehouse would require the Individual Issue processes. If they have access to them, I would question WHY? Roles can be assigned at the Warehouse level, so if a person sometimes works in STAP and sometimes in the IIF, then they could have different roles based upon the warehouse that have access to, if desired. Note: This does require a bit more thought /up front Security Form processing by the CSP team to denote that when x is working in this warehouse, they have this role, and when in a different warehouse, they should have this role, rather than defining a single role at Site or Region level for x warehouses. I would also consider limiting who has access to the Warehouse Mgmt processes. Few users should be able to add/edit: Facilities, Zones, Locations, Cost Centers, Personnel, Project Cd Ranges, and/or Document Nbr Ranges. The Warehouse Officer role provides the user with full access to these processes as well. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to change the Warehouse Officer role, as there are many users outside of CSP using this role. What I would suggest is for CSP to review the current available roles, and select the one(s) that match their Business Processes based upon their style of Warehouses. I know Mr. Cravey and team did this initially and we created roles specifically for the CSP program as well as specific roles for the DMC folks. Should DPAS not have the role(s) that correspond with the CSP business processes, we will either modify an existing one (if only used by CSP), or we will create new roles to support what is needed. The attached spreadsheet has 2 tabs. The Roles with Cataloging tab lists the roles that have Catalog process within them, and the level of access. The All WH Roles tab contains a complete list of current warehouse roles. Let us know what you find in your review. As stated above, if you find a role that matches the CSP business process, use it. If you cannot, let us know what processes and level of access required, we'll create a role or roles to support CSP. It's good to see we have folks getting serious about security. It's all about least privileges. Regards, Randy
00963	Allow Mass Update for Picks	Warehouse	USMC: DMC	Removed	Description In the current version of DPAS, 3.2.01, the system only allows Picks that are being planned and conducted one at a time. Currently, users are utilizing offline processes and applications (i.e., Excel) to physically conduct multiple Picks at the same time. These offline processes are necessary when the Picks have the same “To” and “From” location. To complete the process, users must compile several Pick numbers on a spreadsheet and email the spreadsheet to warehouse personnel to move assets concurrently instead of making the same trip multiple times. DPAS users then have to update DPAS' Picks one at a time to confirm that the system reflects the changes that have occurred. Users need the capability for a “mass update” process to Plan and Pick all affected Picks at one time. Recommended It is recommended that in all Pick planning and conducting areas of the DPAS Warehouse Module, a “mass update” functionality be available. This would include adding a checkbox before the Plan/Pick button on the Materiel Mgmt > Materiel Movement > Pick/Plan screens & Materiel Mgmt > Transportation > Pick/Plans screens. This functionality shall work similar to the 'Take Selected' feature in the Inventory Master Selector that is utilized when picking assets for a single Pick Number. The user would be able to view the details of the Stock Number Picks and Inventory Picks of all previously selected Pick Numbers on the Plan Details and Pick Details page. At this point, the user should have the ability to update and Pick all Picks simultaneously. Mission Critical This is mission critical due to the fact that the current practices are cumbersome and unnecessarily lengthy. Benefits If a “mass update” functionality is made available, this enhancement will dramatically increase the movement and flow of production. Users This affects all users due to the direct, secondary, and exponential implications of Production. 11 Mar 2021 – cancelled per Jack Sanders No Longer Needed.
00962	Tailorable QC Job Generation Lead Time at NSN Level	Warehouse	Air Force	Done	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. Users all AFERMS users. Monday, November 14, 2016: Marked as included in 4.1 done at a later date and not included in the release letter.
