In order to update records in Mass in the Accounting module, the procedure can only be accomplished by using "Like" stock numbers. When selecting Accounting, Deprn Update, then Personal Property, the personal property manager (ppm) checks the Deprn Sts options All, Activated, or Non-Activated. Select Search. A listing of assets will appear with a check box. If selecting assets with different stock numbers to perform a Mass update, an error is received, ?Can only select one stk nbr and intrf sys cd for mass?.

Recommended solution: Recommend establishing the option via a ?Check Box? to Update property records in Mass by installing an option for Major Custodian.

No Longer Required.

I will like to request that DPAS add an additional detail for the custodian number in the remarks fields for DD 1150?s in the reports manager table. It is difficult to identify which DD 1150 is for a specific Custodian unless the user manually types data into the Remarks field. Recommended solution: Automatically place the Custodian Number in the Remarks field so it will appear in the Reports Manager Grid. It would use the Custodian Number FROM and the Custodian Number TO (May be blank).

Description
When adding a new stock number, either from pending or stock number a/u/d, when the add page is displayed the description of the stock number item is not carried over to the ?add? page.

Recommended
Carry the description from the search/add page, or from the catalog pending page to the stock number add page.

Mission Critical
THIS IS AN INCONVIENCE WHEN ADDING A STOCK NUMBER OR TRANSFERRING IN FROM ANOTHER CATALOG.

Benefits
This allows the user to view the Catalog record that was started if they turn away from the process for any amount of time.

Users
This will affect anyone with permissions to the catalog processes.

Customer priority: 2

Joe Stossel comment, 2/24/2015 -?Seems trivial for Stock Number A/U/D but seems reasonable from the Pending Trans process.

Completed – Release 7.2.00 – 8 November 2019

Custodian user can generate the location asset report using location/sub location. He was able to pull a report for an entirely different custodian which he was not authorized to view. Recommended solution:?this report needs to check the security level of the person generating the report, and make sure they cannot cross the custodian bounds. Customer priority: 2

Description
Allow the Training Coordinator the ability to apply training dates to multiple roles for a user at one time. The process takes about 2 minutes for each role for a user.

Recommended
Allow the Training Coordinator the ability to apply training dates to multiple roles for a user at one time. The process takes about 2 minutes for each role for a user. By allowing the Training Coordinator to apply training dates to multiple roles for a user at one time it will greatly speed up the current process.

Mission Critical
No

Benefits
The training coordinator is tasked with preparing User Ids for on-site training and preparation for major testing events such as SIT or SAT. Adding a class of twenty takes over 2 hrs. – depending upon the lag between the multiple screen refreshes, when it should be able to be completed in 20 - 25 minutes.

Users
This will affect all Training Coordinators and the DPAS Support Office.

Completed - Release 3.0 - 15 May 2015

Description
Background - NSW maintains individual property accountability for assets in an AIT supported and UID enabled Oracle database program called the Special Warfare Automated Logistics Information System (SWALIS). This program interfaces with US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) allowancing database, the USSOCOM Table of Equipment Distribution and Allowance (USTEDA) and the USSOCOM Special Operating Forces Total Asset Visibility (SOFTAV) for asset visibility, program management, and operational readiness analysis. This requires update of small inventory numbers on a routine basis (often daily) and larger populations (depending on SOCOM acquisition process/fielding plan) as items are received/expended in both the SWALIS and DPAS inventories from the SOCOM Joint Property Book Office (JPBO), Wide Are Work Flow (WAWF), or other inventory or property receipt/expenditure databases. SWALIS has the DPAS required data elements identified in its database. SWALIS is not a CFO compliant program. SWALIS interfaces and provides UID compliance for labeling and identification to the DOD UID registry. SWALIS can be configured to track DOD Serial Item Management (SIM) requirements as individually required.
Problem - Currently, NSW personnel have to perform multiple data entries to get inventory updated into SWALIS and DPAS. DFAS does not currently accept automated data feeds from the NSW SWALIS program. DPAS and SWALIS databases must match to ensure accurate accountability and reporting.

Recommended

1. Provide automated data feed capability for NSW to populate DPAS.
2. Provide automated data feed fm DPAS and WAWF to SWALIS or the ability for SWALIS to query/receive data updates as required (for example, inventory updates, location changes, custodian changes).

Mission Critical
USSOCOM mandated requirement for asset visibility/reporting/accountability IAW USSOCOM Directive 700-2 dtd 29 July 2008. Critical information used to analyze asset acquisitions and fielding plans are drawn from the NSW SWALIS/USTEDA/SOFTAV databases by USSOCOM PEOs. Data needs to be pulled fm DPAS to ensure accuracy between the 2 databases (SWALIS/DPAS).

Benefits
-Reduces input errors and database mistakes, improves accuracy/accountability for asset visibility and reporting, reduces man hours.

Users
All users, a system interface as proposed would eliminate manual duplicate data entry requirements and erroneous entries. This also supports mission critical information flow, readiness analysis, procurement planning, and inventory accuracy to USSOCOM.

When performing a Pending Transactions Inquiry, user searches for a Type Action of ?Transfer?. When the query is displayed, there is a Doc Nbr field, but the users do not know if that is a Doc Nbr To or a Doc Nbr From. Recommended solution: Need to add another Doc Nbr field and distinguish between To and From Doc Nbrs in the Search Criteria. Also need to add these fields in the Field Selection list to show that the Doc Nbr is the gaining (to) Doc Nbr as this is confusing to the users.

The inventory header inquiry for the enterprise account needs to show sub custodians and sub locations. Customer priority: 2
