00849 Inventory Activity Inquiries - add additional search criteria options (date range) Warehouse USMC Done

Description
Currently within the Inquiries/Inventory/Inventory Activity menu there is no way to add a date parameter without filtering the results or exporting into Excel. At the top, within the Search Criteria, there should be a From Date field and a To Date Field that would allow results to be searched by date. These fields would not be required but optional. The defaults would return everything as it works currently.

Recommended
Recommend that a From Date field and To Date field be created for all options under Inquiries/Inventory/Inventory Activity (LIN/TAMCN, Stock Nbr, ICN, Document Nbr).

Mission Critical
This is a mission critical item.

Benefits
This change will improve the user interface with regards to reporting requirements. Adding a date query reduces the amount of data manipulation needed in order to produce the necessary results.

Users
This change will affect all users who need inventory reports.

00844 Generate a movement request when work order is updated with a state of ATWR Warehouse USMC: DMC Removed
A Maintenance Movement Request should be system generated when a Work Order is updated with a Work Order State Cd of “AWTR- Approved-Awtng Transportation” and a new “Maint Loc” 
 
 Current process requires 9 steps per move request to ensure AWTR has been generated. These 9 steps takes an average of 5 minutes per move request, currently DMC averages 50 move requests per day. An system-generated Maintenance Movement Request would save approximately 250 minutes per day. There also should be an Open Action Folder and Completed Transportation Folder generated in the main menu to be able to track the process of the AWTR. There should be an Open Action Folder created for Work Orders with the WO State Cd of “AWTR- Approved-Awtng Transportation” and a second Open Action Folder for these Work Orders once the asset has been moved to the requested Maint Loc. These folders would give the Maintenance Officers and assigned Primary Techs visibility of the current state of particular WOs and when service can be started on asset.
 
Recommended solution: Maintenance Movement Request should be system-generated. A Maintenance Movement Request should be system generated when a Work Order is updated with a Work Order State Cd of “AWTR- Approved-Awtng Transportation” and a new “Maint Loc”.

00843 Materiel Release - allow manual input of document numbers Warehouse Navy Done

Description
The Material Management > Material Release Order module does not allow for manual input of document numbers to reflect transactions such as equipment exchanges for depot level repairs and the Warehouse Management > Doc Number Range > Serial Number Range does not allow for ALPHA characters, only numeric.
The result is that when these transactions occur, outside systems (R-Supply > STARS > eRMS) must be used to generate the actual document number with proper coding which the exchanging depot also uses to ship replacement equipment back to the requesting unit. The system produces a different document number which incorrectly accounts for the transaction and the material release1348s produced cannot be used for shipment because they do not have the correct doc numbers.

Recommended
Request the option to manually enter a document number in the Material Release module (just as there is in the Material Management > Receiving module) so that during equipment exchanges they can be properly reflected in the system and the 1348s produced can used in for shipment of equipment.

Mission Critical
It is mandated that proper transaction documentation be maintained for receipt, release and tracking of equipment exchanges.

Benefits
Improves accountability, accuracy, financial reporting, tracking of sensitive assets.

Users
This would affect all Naval forces as well as those from other services.

00839 Upload IA certs in Warehouse Management PA DFAS Columbus Removed

Users are unable to upload IA certs in Warehouse Management URLs

Description of Problem/Proposed Improvement
Users are unable to upload IA certs in Warehouse Management URLs

Recommended Solution
Add the ability for a user to upload multiple documents to their DPAS account in all Warehouse Management URLs. When a cert is uploaded by a user, email needs to be sent to the 2875 mailbox This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to let the Account Management team know it needs to be reviewed. Once verified by Account Management, the IA Cert Date is populated and the account is updated. This is what happens on the PA side. It would also be nice if a report could be gerated by date or User Id to see the certificates that were uploaded. This would be a safeguard in case the daily emails stopped working for any reason.

Is this mission critical or mandated? Explain
No, but it would make things much simpler for the users and Account Management.

Benefits of implementing this solution
(Reduces Time/Cost, Improves/Accuracy/ Accountability, Financial Reporting, Ect.) The IA cert aging process is automated in Warehouse Management so the user knows when their IA cert will expire. When this occurs they can?t upload the cert so they call the Help Desk to find out where they need to send it. The Help Desk informs the user to send it to the 2875 mailbox with the URL. Account Management receives the email and then has to save the cert and upload it to the users account. This will greatly reduce the calls to the Help Desk and allow the user to be in compliance with the requirement much faster.
