00419 Catalog Pending Asset Information PA DFAS Columbus New Allow the user the ability to retain asset catalog and manufacturer information when conducting an inter-catalog (site to site) transfer. Currently from pending, all information has to be recreated for each asset transferred. Recommended solution: Allow the user the option to build the catalog and manufacturer data from the losing catalog. Providing the data from the losing catalog already populated in the fields or providing a button or something for the user to indicate they want to copy the losing data. Customer priority: 2 Joe Stossel comment, 3/1/2015 -?This is a good SCR and could be worked along with SCR 416. Joe Stossel comment, 8/10/2015 -?could be worked along with SCR 418 to close like issues with the catalog.
00416 Catalog Item Description PA DFAS Columbus Done

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

00414 Location Asset Report view PA DFAS Columbus New

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

00412 Pending Transaction Reject PA DFAS Columbus New Users with a Custodian type role with Custodian Update level access have no way to reject, using the Pending Transactions, an asset that has been designated for transfer or disposition by mistake. Recommended solution: Need to add the functionality to allow users with Custodian Update level access to the Pending Transactions process and allow them to be able to reject a transaction that they have designated. With this, the Pending Transactions program, along with the menu option, will need to be added back for the Custodian roles. Joe Stossel comment, 2/24/2015 -?This should be developed ? allow a custodian to withdraw designations that he/she submitted. Joe Stossel comment, 8/10/2015 -?this makes sense if we expect the custodian role to be utilized more. ?Rated 400 only because it may be more involved than some items.
00411 Allow training date updates for multiple users PA DFAS Columbus Done

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

00409 SWALIS Interface PA Navy Removed

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.

00407 Pending Transactions Inquiry Document PA DFAS Columbus New

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.

00405 Inventory Header Inquiry PA DFAS Columbus New

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

00399 Custodian Recon Report PA DFAS Columbus New

User both the Cust NBR and Inv Cust NBR to be on the Custodian Inventory Reconciliation Report like it was in Legacy DPAS. (Included is screen print of legacy and tech refresh reports). Currently in Tech Refresh when they are reconciling and assets show as overages there is no indication on the report as to which custodian it belonged to previously. User is spending a lot of time researching where it was previously as shown by the written in Cust NBRs on the report. This takes a lot of time to research each asset under each different UIC and if the user does not have access to the UIC that the Custodian is in, they will not be able to find it. Recommended solution: Include both the Cust NBR and Inv Cust NBR to be on the Custodian Inventory Reconciliation Report in the overages section.
