For Maintenance Officers (MO) at the Agency level, running any Statistics Inquiries in M&U do not distinguish between the commodity within the Asset Type. ?A Vehicle MO has no way of capturing just motor pool assets when other assets could be included. Customer priority: 3

1. We do not have DPAS WM labeling/barcoding capability at this time and it will take some time to implement that functionality. The system generates Container IDs which were meant for labeling; we currently have all Containers within our facilities labeled with different identification markings and have been passing inventory inspections/audits. We used our current label markings as the descriptions when creating our Containers within DPAS WM but "Container descriptions" are not available fields within inventory inquiry reports, therefore during an inspection or audit our Stock Number locations will fail. ?2. Location descriptions meant to aid in amplifying information about a location ID (often obscure) are also not included in the grid options. ? Add Container description to the NSN inventory display grid options so that the current labels can be reflected during inventories, inspections and audits until full bar code labeling functionality is achieved. Add Location descriptions to inventory inquiry display grid options to aid in identifying Locations.

When a unit custodian receives equipment issue, they must sign a custody document (DW Form 04); however, when they turn in the same equipment to the warehouse custodian they must again sign the DW Form 12 and there is no data on this document that identifies which custodian received, validated and assumed accountability for the returned equipment. ?With the current version of the document, the onus is on the member to sign that he/she turned in the equipment vice the receiving custodian to validate and acknowledge that the equipment was returned to them. For complete legitimacy of accountability transfer, add a signature block for the receiving custodian or change the existing signature block to the warehouse custodian with the "Returned By" name and UIC filled in by the system. The receiver is the person who actually validates what has been returned and accepts it, so they should be signing for custody then giving a copy to the member for their records. ?A good example is the use of SF-153s (Comsec Material Report) for issue and receipt of key encrypted equipment; when issued, the receiving officer signs for the equipment and when returned the EKMS custodian signs a new 153 for custody of the previously issued equipment and both copies must be maintained in the EKMS log.

When equipment is shipped to or transported by courier to a deployed unit, the receiving officer is often not a DPAS WM user, does not have an available document scanner but does have CAC enabled email. Without a scanner, "manually" signed DW04s must be sent by mail or other physical means back to the issuing command. Proposed improvement is to add an embedded digital signature block capability to the unit issue>sign>manual signature form DW04 Pdf which the system generates. Adding this would allow the issuing command to email the custody document to the deployed receiving officer who would then digitally sign the document and email it back to the issuing unit. Manual signing of the printed document would still be possible, if necessary.
