| 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).
1.1.3. 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”
1.1.6 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

| 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.

Description: From MARCORLOGCOM's initial walk-thru in ELMS on the Material Returns Program (MRP) processes, it does not appear the system is in compliance with DoD policy as it relates to the appropriate response to a report of excess. This BRD is to clarify and levee a more comprehensive requirement to ensure the system is providing the necessary information to the Inventory Manager, in the Material Management Module (MM/ICP) to respond to the DLMS 180M/FTE report of excess.Recommended:
1.0 Material Management (ICP) module required changes to respond to incoming Material Returns Program (MRP) DLMS180M/FTE DLMS transactions in accordance with DLM 4400.25 Vol 2 Chapter 11 (see attachment)1.1 The ELMS system shall intake all incoming 180M MRP transitions, from DAAS, and route them to the appropriate Owning-RIC also known as the Primary Issue Control Activity (PICA) within the Material Management (MM) module.
1.1.1 Once the 180M transaction has been inbound within the proper ICP management area, in Material Management, the system shall assigned the work to the appropriated Inventory Manager designated by the association of the NSN to the [Program Name].
1.1.2 The system shall provide the Inventory Manager with the capability to respond back to the 180M with the appropriate 870M/FTR transactional response. (see attachment for appropriate response codes)
1.1.3 The system shall provide the Inventory Manager with a set of values representing the FTR response statuses for selection during the 870M transaction build. (See MRP Process Flow attachment)
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.
1.1.3.2.2 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.
