02142 Inclusion of TFSMS Attribute Data in the Enterprise Catalog PA,MU,Warehouse,Materiel Management USMC New
Change Request: New System Process

Description:
The interface being constructed between TFSMS and ELMS was lacking key attributes that are essential in identifying and defining the LIN/TAMCN used by the Marine Corps.  Inventory Managers and Equipment Specialists throughout the Marine Corps rely on the additional data being requested to assist in their day to day management of Class VII inventory.  The data being asked for should be added to the Enterprise catalog.
 
Recommended:
 
1.0  The ELMS system shall include in it interface with the Marine Corps TFSMS system the following key attributes used to minimally assist in identification and defining controlled Class VII inventory:
 
TAMCN
NATIONAL_STOCK_NUMBER
STANDARDIZATION_CATEGORY_CODE
TAM_STATUS
TAM_STATUS_DATE
ITEM_EXIT_DATE
COLLOQUIAL_NAME
MODEL_NUMBER
DIMENSION_HEIGHT_IN_FEET
DIMENSION_WIDTH_IN_INCHES
DIMENSION_WIDTH_IN_FEET
DIMENSION_LENGTH_IN_FEET DIMENSION_LENGTH_IN_INCHES
DIMENSION_HEIGHT_IN_IN
STAND_PKG_CUBECHES
STD_PKG_LB_WT
 
1.1 Once the interface is established, the ELMS system shall include all identified attributes in the Enterprise level catalog for the Marine Corps. the primary key to link the information to the catalog is [National_Stock_Number].
 
1.2 Once the information is included in the Enterprise level catalog, ELMS will make that information available to sub-catalogs (ie, SKO, Stock Item, M&U, Material Management, PA)
 
1.3 The frequency of the update shall be dependent on the interface agree established between Marine Corps TFSMS system and ELMS.
 
2.0  NSN SUBSTITUTION: The ELMS system shall provide the inventory Manager, operating in the Material Management module, with the capability to substitute an NSN within a TAMCN group, taking into consideration STANDARDIZATION_CATEGORY_CODE from the TFSMS attributes, which will be added to the Enterprises Catalog.  
 
2.1  In the case where a denial is received at the Material Management module and the document is placed back into a backorder status.  ELMS shall provide the Inventory Manager with a capability to substitute and NSN only when the replacement NSN is with the like LIN\TAMCN group.  The criteria for the replacement will be strictly controlled by NSNs that have "In Service" (IS), "Plan Allowance" (PL), Disposal Plan (DP) assets available based on the  [TAM_STATUS] attribute in the catalog.  
 
2.1.1 At no time shall the system provide the Inventory Manager with the ability to select and alternate asset that is in Achieve (AR) status.
 
2.2  At the time of substitution, the Inventory Manager shall be provided with the capability to chose a replacement NSN with a different Condition Code and Purpose Code availability.  
 
2.3  ELMS shall be programed to conduct a virtual verification of the selection being made by the Inventory Manager ensuring the warehouse selected, the NSN, quantity, Condition Code and the Purpose Code and support the requested MRO.  If the asset is not available matching the specifications identified for the substitution, ELMS will provide the Inventory Manager with an alert and the process will be halted until the error is corrected.

02141 Inbound Serial Number Enforcement for EDI Materiel Management USMC New
Change Request: New System Process

Description:
ELMS must enforce Serialized Item Management (SIM) for designated National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs) across various Enterprise Logistics Management System (ELMS) modules. Data exchanges with external trading partner systems via DLMS EDI/X12 transactions sometimes fail to include required serial numbers for serialized assets. This occurs primarily in, but not limited to:
      • 856S (Shipment Notices – Due-In Transactions)
      • 945A (Materiel Release – Advice Transactions)
      • 947I (Inventory Adjustment Transactions)
The absence of serial numbers in these transactions compromises data integrity and prevents compliance with DoD serialized property management regulations outlined in:
      • DoDM 4140.01 (DoD Supply Chain Materiel Management Procedures)
      • DLMSO Manuals (DLMS Volume 2, Supply)
      • MILSTRAP/DLMS Mapping for EDI transactions
This System Change Request (SCR) proposes a standardized method to detect, report, manage, and resolve these data quality format issues within ELMS. These changes are required to enforce compliance with SIM policies within DPAS modules and ensure accurate logistics accountability and audit readiness.
 
Recommended:
Implement an automated edit-check mechanism within ELMS to identify inbound DLMS EDI transactions missing required serial numbers, route them to an error handling interface for user remediation, and support transaction reprocessing once corrected. This ensures serialized assets are tracked consistently across the enterprise.
Scope: This change applies to all ELMS modules ingesting DLMS EDI/X12 transactions involving serialized asset movement, including but not limited to:
     
      • Receipt and Due-In processing
      • Inventory management and adjustments
      • Inbound shipment confirmations
      • Materiel Release Orders
 
Requirements:
 
    1.1. Edit Checks for Serialized Transactions. ELMS shall implement automated validation logic for inbound EDI 856S, 945A, and 947I transactions to detect when a transaction line item is for a NIIN that is marked as serialized but lacks an associated serial number(s).
 
    1.1.2 Enforcement Against Serialized NIIN Catalog. The system shall reference the ELMS NIIN Catalog or Master Item File to determine if an item requires serialized tracking before enforcing serial number validation.
 
    1.1.3. Transaction Error Flagging. Transactions missing required serial numbers shall not be ingested into ELMS records but instead flagged as “Unprocessed” and queued for user intervention in the Interface Queue Manager.
 
    1.1.4. Error Queue Management Dashboard. ELMS shall provide an enhanced dashboard view in the Interface Queue Manager that displays:
        • Transaction type (i.e., 856S, 945A, 947I, etc.)
        • Originating trading partner
        • NIIN and quantity
        • Serial number missing status
        • Error message: “Serialized NIIN reported without corresponding serial numbers”
 
    1.1.5. Manual Update Interface. The dashboard shall support manual entry of missing serial numbers by the ELMS User after collection from the originating trading partner system.  
 
    1.1.6  Audit Trail Capture. The system shall capture all entries made manually to enhance the inbound EDI transactions:
 
        • User ID
        • Date/time stamp
        • Action performed
        • Original vs. updated values
 
   1.1.7  Reprocessing Capability. Once updated with the required serial numbers, the transaction shall be made available for resubmission ingestion using standard processing logic. Successful ingestion will update the transaction status to “Processed” and remove it from the error queue.
 
   1.1.8  System Alerts. ELMS shall provide automated notifications (email or in-system alert) to designated user roles when transactions are flagged as unprocessed due to missing serial numbers.
 
   1.1.9 Metrics and Reporting. The system shall generate periodic reports that include:
     
        • Number of transactions flagged for missing serials
        • Time to resolution
        • Frequency by trading partner
        • NIINs most affected
 
   1.1.10. Configuration Flexibility. Administrators shall be able to update the list of NIINs subject to Serialized Item Management without requiring code changes, using an ELMS catalog or configuration table.

02140 Upload of Supporting Documentation to Documents that are Closed PA,Warehouse,Materiel Management USMC New
Change Request: New System Process

Description:
ELMS currently does not possess the ability to attach Key Supporting Documents (KSA) (ie. LTI's, signed 1348s, 1149) to a document that is in a closed status.  This was discussed during the on site visit to the ELMS LEIDO's facility in early March 2025.  This will impact MARCORLOGCOM's ability to answer audit related inquires if not resolved.
 
Recommended:
1.0  Inventory Managers, using the Material Management (MM) module, shall be provided with the capability to upload an attached Key Supporting Documentation (KSDs) to documents considered closed in ELMS.  This is to facility the requirement to extract supporting documentation during an audit evaluation.
 
1.1 ELMS shall provide the Inventory Manager, the Material Management (MM) module with a capability retrieve attachments from any document recorded in the system.
 
2.0  Warehouse personnel, using the Warehouse Module (WM) module, shall be provided with the capability to upload an attached Key Supporting Documentation (KSDs) to documents considered closed in ELMS.  This is to facility the requirement to extract supporting documentation during an audit evaluation.
 
2.1 ELMS shall provide warehouse personnel, in the Warehouse Module (WM) module with a capability retrieve attachments associated to the warehouse they are assigned to.
 
 
3.0  Personnel using the Property Accountability (PA) module, shall be provided with the capability to upload an attached Key Supporting Documentation (KSDs) to documents considered closed in ELMS.  This is to facility the requirement to extract supporting documentation during an audit evaluation.

02139 Warehouse Financial Accounting Warehouse,Materiel Management MDA New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
MDA has a requirement to manage operating materiel and supplies "OM&S" that are currently being managed using MS Excel spreadsheets.  In addition, MDA is requesting DPAS system enhancements to support “actual cost” accounting for OM&S within the warehouse module.   On occasion, MDA may have assets (non-capital and capital) that are awaiting transfer / disposition that it would like to have stored in a warehouse.  DPAS does not currently support fixed asset accounting or OM&S accounting by actual cost for items that are accounted for in the warehouse.  The proposed solution is for DPAS to configure to manage fixed assets within the warehouse module or through integration with a fixed asset module and to be able to electronically report those items to the MDA financial statements supported by Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI).    
 
Recommended:
• By Stock Nbr, permit the user to determine how they want to financially account for the $ value of OM&S (MAC, LAC, ACT).  Note: MAC = Moving Average Cost, LAC = Latest Acquisition Cost and ACT = Actual Cost.  Actual cost would be limited to serialized OM&S.
• Develop a DAI accounting interface reporting capability to report capital assets and OM&S managed within the warehouse similar to how property accountability performs the financial reporting.  
• Enable fixed assets and OM&S to transfer between DPAS modules along with their cost and depreciation. Items transferred between organizations with different catalogs will need to have the valuation set based upon the receiving entity's catalog.
 
Mission Critical:
The implementation of this SCR is in support of customers of the Warehouse / Materiel Mgmt. modules in support of financial accounting of fixed capital assets and OM&S. Methodologies must be DoD 7000.14R / FASAB / US. Treasury USSGL compliant to support an agency's Financial Improvement Audit Readiness "FIAR".
 
Benefits:
Supports financial compliance for all assets / supplies accounted for using DPAS regardless of module.

1.1.3.1 If the Inventory Manager responds with any Status codes begin with "S" (Rejected) the system will created and respond back to the originator via DAAS with an (870M, LQ*0*FTR, LQ*81*S_) noting the selected Status code.
 
1.1.3.1.2 If the Inventory Manager responds with any Status codes begin with "S" (Rejected), following the transmission of the 870M response, the system will mark the transaction as closed, no further action required. (example of DLMS X12 870M transactions attached)
 
1.1.3.2 If the Inventory Manager responds with Status codes [TA, TB, TH, TJ] the system will created and respond back to the originator, via DAAS with an (870M, LQ*0*FTR, LQ*81*T_) noting the selected Status code. The 870M will remain open until the equipment is received or the 180M cancellation is received by the originator.  
 
1.1.3.2.1  The system shall provide the Inventory Manager with the ability to Identify the location the equipment will be shipped to ( example: N1*ST**M4*BR4) and the PICA or Owning RIC the asset will be managed by (N1*Z8**M4*MPT).
1.1.3.2.2  The system shall produce a 527D (Due-in/Advance Receipt) notification also known as the Preposition Material Receipt (PMR) directed to the receiving storage point and Owning-RIC as directed in the 870M.
 
1.1.4  If the system receives a 180M / FTC (Cancellation Request) the original document will be marked closed and retired in ELMS.
 
2.0  The Warehouse Module (WM) will be prepared to receive the inbound due-in transactions as directed by the 527D PMR.
 
2.1  The system shall possess the capability to receive 870M/FTL and 856R/FTM transactions coming for the  originator via DAAS as directed in the aforementioned 870M/FTR response.
 
2.1.1 The system shall provide the Inventory Manager, using the Material Management (ICP) module and the receiving warehouse person using the Warehouse Module (WM) with the ability to see all transactions relating to MRP.
 
2.1.2 The system shall provide the receiving warehouse with a capability to receipt for the inbound shipment using the designated 870M/ FTZ transactions with the appropriate status codes. (See MRP Process Flow attachment)
 
2.1.2.1 If the shipment is received and all assets are accounted for, the WM module will produce the 870M/FTZ transactions that will be transmitted back to the Owning RIC/ICP via DAAS.
 
2.1.2.2 The receiving ICP, using the Material Management/ICP module, shall verify the transactions document received and mark the MRP transaction as closed. The 870M/FTZ will record the appropriate elements (870M, LQ*0*FTR, LQ*81*T_) noting the selected Status code.
