00869 Mass Change to Cost Center OUSDDPAS DISA LOG EIS New At the beginning of each FY and after a reorg, we are required to change our Cost Centers and depreciation Cost Centers. ?Currently there is no process in DPAS to easily do this. You have to do a mass update, and that creates accounting transactions that are incorrect. The depreciation cost center is only valid from the date of the change forward. It is not like you are updating because you made a mistake and need to back out the entire amount of depreciation and post it to the correct Cost Center. ?The update process is tedious and we have to tell our accounting interface partners to reject all of the update transactions. ?We shouldn't have to do that. Recommended solution:?Recommend the mass change to Cost Center that used to exist before DPAS web be added to the web version of DPAS. The only thing you are changing is the code that is on the cost center record; for example AB is now BB everywhere. ?You should be able to update the cost center record and change AB to BB.

00866 CIP Inquiry PA DISA LOG EIS New The CIP inquiry does not provide all of the information on the cost record. ?Most of the information that is retrieved is pulled from the project record. Recommended solution:?Change the format to retrieve the cost information and include the project information that the CIP is tied to. ?Let the cost record be the driver, since there can be multiple cost records for each project. ?Also the query is currently not formatted like other DPAS queries - when we provide auditors a DPAS 'snapshot' of our CIP records it looks pretty sad. ?The CIP query we provide to the auditors starts at page 2-14 of this document. ?The last page of this document is the format of the current DPAS improvement query where everything is neatly presented as one package. ?Request CIP Cost information also be displayed in this format.

00864 EDI for OPER/TECH ID MU OSD Removed

Description
OPER/TECH ID created for personnel at one activity may have to be reissued if employee transfers to new command where that ID is already in use.
There is no way to control OPER/TECH ID to ensure there is one distinct number for each employee with any Agency.

Recommended
This SCR may cancel 636 & 665. DPAS users desire the OPER/TECH ID field be extended from 6 A/N spaces to at least 10 A/N spaces to utilize the EDI/EIN as an unique identifier for personnel as done in the warehouse. ?This will assist with Operator assignment during DISPATCH by scanning CAC and identifying the Command a driver is associated with during Reservation process.

Mission Critical
This will become critical for large activities with many users.

Benefits
Accurately and uniquely identifies personnel within DPAS and will reduce time assigning an operator during DISPATCH if CAC is scanned or as you begin typing EDI.
