00671 General Signature Block PA Other Removed

The statement that displays on inventory reports is currently set at the Agency Level.

Currently any changes to the signature block will apply to all Accountable UIC/UICs through out navy. Customer priority: 4

00670 ICP Capabilities - provide track/trace method for a unit/non-DPAS user to send a request to DPAS for an asset Warehouse Done

This SCR is being presented to determine who may be interested in this functionality and how complex/automated/integrated the functionality should be within DPAS.? This was first discussed with SOCOM and they are developing a process document to provide DPAS, to permit an estimate. There is no method for a unit/non-DPAS user to send a request to DPAS for an asset and to track the approval of the request. Would like the system to be able to receive a request for an asset from a non-user.? The request would be reviewed to determine if the person/unit is authorized this equipment, there are funds available and what the priority of the issue would be.? Once approval has been granted at all levels the request would be sent to the warehouse organization for fulfillment.? The fulfillment processes already exists in the DPAS Warehouse so this would provide the front end of the ICP functions.

00669 Sub WO State Cd MU OSD Removed

Description
When creating Work Orders, Sub Work Orders are approved at the time. Currently DPAS defaults Work Order State Cd to RQST - Requested-Awaiting Approval. In the real Maintenance world, a work order will not be created unless the work was approved. Making the Sub WO State Cd Approval-awaiting shop space is more accurate of true life. No work order comes in with a request to do work.

Recommended
Default Work Order State Cd to AWSS - Approved-Awaiting Shop Space.

00667 Message of the Day PA OSD New

(SCR created on 7/16/2014) USAF needs an expeditious way to distribute Time Compliance Tech Order, One Time Inspection and Service Bulletins to Maintenance Shops. The volume in which this will be used is enormous, especially for M&U.? Making this an Agency level function will ensure uniformity and take the burden off the Call Center to load, manage and remove messages in a timely manner. Agency (Lvl 1) permissions to load comments to "Message of the Day".? Possibly a separate comment box with a begin and end run date.

00666 Add Vehicle Equivalence MU OSD Done

Description
For every vehicle NSN, a base Equivalence value is assigned. USAF assigns the number value dependent upon the staffing and maintenance requirements for a NSN.
They need a field with a whole number drop down from 1-20 on the Agency Attribute of the Catalog.
This should not be a mandatory entry.
This is all DPAS is asked to perform at this time.

Recommended
During Stock Nbr A/U/D, under the Agency Attributes tab, create an Equivalence field with a text box of values 1.0-20.0 with .5 values.
Once assigned, have Equivalence viewed in Asset Info under the Catalog tab of Maint Asset Master Update and Asset Info during Dispatch A/U.

Mission Critical
Mission critical because Equivalence values are used to dictate manning and budget.

Benefits
Equivalence recording will be used to manage and project budget requirements. DPAS will streamline the recording while keeping visibility in PA and M&U.

Users
APO to load.

00661 Add Attachment to Asset Outside of Asset Update PA Navy Done

Description
Need functionality to add attachments to asset records during the receiving and during location change process. Current process only permits attachments during the asset update process. Examples of the issue:

  • when updating several similar barcodes to a new location, it would be nice to be able to attach the DD Form 1149 (source document) to all of the records at once, instead of having to perform multiple transactions to add the attachment.
  • When adding the assets to DPAS, the first several screens consist of load data that is the same for the whole asset group. The only screen that changes is the last screen, where serial #, barcode #, custodian and location are input. Nowhere in this process, is the property manager afforded an opportunity to attach the contract or any other source documentation, which would support the addition of the assets into DPAS. The only way to add a source document to newly added records is to Update each record individually after the asset is added to DPAS.

Recommended
Allow for attachments to be added to more than one record at a time would save valuable time and therefore free up man-hours to perform other property management functions

Mission Critical
Neither. It is a labor saving recommendation.

Benefits
Improves audit readiness by permitting the property manager to add audit required documentation to the asset record in a timely manner.

Users
yes. it impacts all Agencies using DPAS.
