02126 Mass Appropriation Update Interface Code Improvements PA Leidos New

Change Request

 

Process Improvement
 
Description:
Mass Appropriation Update only supports moving to fund codes that follow the same interface system code.  Most Accounting systems require cost elements that do not lend them to an automated transition from one accounting system to another.  The AY (no automated interface) and  AG (GAFS-R) accounting interface does not require cost elements, thus the Mass Appropriation Update process should permit the  user to update the interface system code when the from or to is either AY or AG.
 
Recommended:
Update the Mass Appropriation Update program to allow users to update DPAS supported accounting interfaces to  accounting interface cd of "AY" (No Automated Interface) or AG (GAFS-R) .
 
Mission Critical:
Mass Appropriation Update currently exists but is limited by its current design. This change will enable users to perform the update without customer support / scripting by the DPAS support teams.
 
Benefits:

Users can handle mass appropriation updates that involve AY or AG without having to request scripts that have the possibility of handling thousands of transactions.  The functionality is already largely in the program, it just needs improved to support different accounting interfaces.

02119 MM Purpose Code Functionality Warehouse,Materiel Management USMC New

Change Request
Process Improvement

 

 
Description:

During the System Acceptance Test (SAT) conducted by MARCORLOGCOM personnel on March 4, 2025, it was discovered that the Purpose Code logic development was done incorrectly and if not corrected will result in a failure point when conducting the MARCORLOGCOM GAP analysis. When an Inventory Control Point (ICP) is being utilized within the ELMS application, full control of assigning the Purpose Code element is to be done by Inventory Managers through use of the Material Management module.  Observations during SAT showed the functionality and entry point for Purpose Code was programed to be only accomplished through the Warehouse module.  This method of entry should be allowed ONLY when a warehouse DoDAAC is separated from an ICP and is not being managed through the Material Management module.  Assignment of the Purpose Code is the inherent responsibility of the Inventory Manager and as such should be accomplished within the Material Management module.  Purpose Code is used by the ICP to stratify inventory and is not a warehouse function.  This request for modification aligns the business processes required by MARCORLOGCOM WSMC.

Recommended:

 

1.  The system shall provide the Inventory Manager with the capability to enter the Purpose Code element from within the Material Management module.  This capability will be restricted to Inventory Manager role when the Inventory Control Point (ICP) is utilizing the Material Management module.

2.   The system shall be set to NOT allow the Warehouse module to adjust the Purpose Code element when a DoDAAC is assigned to an ICP.

3.   When a new due-in is presented for receipt processing at a Remote Storage Activity (RSA) that has been assigned to Inventory Control Point (ICP), an initial Purpose Code assignment of “A” shall be made.  It is the responsibility of the Inventory Manger to reassign the Purpose Code to it proper location utilizing the Material Management module not the warehousing module. Note:  The reassignment of the Purpose Code is a dynamic process which may require an Inventory Manager to adjust the Purpose Code several times, by serial number over the life cycle of an asset.

4.  The ELMS system shall ensure the LQ (Industry Code) “99”, representing Purpose Code, is present in all required DLMS transactions and represents the correct values as entered in the Material Management module.  In the case of the 947I “Warehouse Inventory Adjustment Advice” transaction, the W19/AD element must be included identifying a change in Purpose Code assignment.

5.  The ELMS system shall ensure all historical transactional records contain the Purpose Code value when assigned.

6.  The ELMS system shall ensure the Purpose Code value is available to be selected in search criteria when users are isolating data in inquiries.

 
Mission Critical:
MARCORLOGCOM Inventory Management personnel are required to know, at all times, where managed inventory resides within the Purpose Code stratification.  Rolls separation between the Warehousing and Material Management, when it pertains to the entry and management of the Purpose Code value is strictly adhered to in MARCORLOGCOM’s business processes.
 
Benefits:

• Meets MARCORLOGCOM’s business model.

• Provides 100% accountability of assets.

• Complies with current audit controls.

Change Request

 

Policy/Regulatory
 
Description:
Warehouse Module (WM), When the 945A and the 856S transactions are generated, the N1 (Name) Entity Identifier Code of CA (Carrier) needs to be added to the transactions to identify the type of carrier a shipment has been assigned to for the purpose of tracking shipments (Identified as USMC System GAP ID # 11. The N1 Entity Identifier Code “CA” is missing from the to the outputted 945A and 856S transactions.   This element provides additional tracking information to the end user.
 
Recommended:

1.  The system shall include the N1 Entity Identifier Code “CA” providing the additional information on the outputted 945A and 856S transactions.

Format of required data as prescribed by DLMS is as follows:

Transactions Type: 945A and 856S

Example: N1*CA*ARL LOGISTICS*2*AGQC

N1 : Name qualifier

CA:  [Entity Identifier Code] representing the carrier used for the shipment

2: [Identification Code Qualifier] “2” identifies the Standard Carrier Code (SCAC)

AGQC:  Identifies the code represented as specified by the SCAC.  Complete listing can be queried using:   https://scaccodelookup.com/scac-name-lookup/#

02117 UIC management and Data Masking PA,Materiel Management FH-AFHAF New

Change Request

 

Policy/Regulatory
 
Description:
Currently the user is required to manually update the Unit Kind Code when, UIC name and APO City when a UIC has been designated as a FAD1. The combination of certain data elements potentially change the classification of the UIC, and could potentially cause a security risk or spillage. Additionally, when users run inquires under the 'Asset Inquires' process there is a potential that certain combinations of data elements  could pose a risk.
 
Recommended:

Establish triggers in place to mask the data when the FAD code for a UIC is inserted or updated to a FAD 1. Additionally establish controls within the system that would limit the combination of data elements that could pose a risk and produce an error notifying the user that there is a security risk. The error should not allow the user to bypass the warning if they do not make any adjustments to the combination of data elements. Potentially move the UIC management process out of the APO/Property Administrator profile and move it all to a SIPR environment fro better controls of access.

a. The association of the nomenclature of any single unit or program with the FAD I level designator is classified SECRET.
 

b. Any compilation of forces, units, activities, projects, or programs associated with the FAD I level designator is classified SECRET.

 
Mission Critical:
AW CJCSI 4110.01F The Service Chiefs are required to develop and implement policies on the use of and oversight of all FAD codes assigned to units.  Security Information – United States Only. Classified lists reflecting authorized FAD I requisitioning entities are distributed and maintained by the Joint Staff Directorate for Logistics, J-4/J-44. This list is distributed on a strict “need-to-know-basis.” DoD components and associated agencies are authorized to determine the appropriate distribution within their organizations following standard security procedures. The following classification guidance applies when information is extracted from the lists:
