02034 DLMS Transaction Reviewer PA,MU,Warehouse,Materiel Management,FSM,Registry (SA/LW) DLA/ Leidos Done
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
This SCR documents a requirement to implement a single DLMS Transaction Review process that will be available to all modules of DPAS. Currently in the DPAS application, DLMS inbound/outbound review is separate and only available for the MM, RG and WH modules. The creation of the DLMS service consolidates DLMS transactions which enables a common DLMS viewer in lieu of having a DLMS transaction viewer / module.
 
Recommended:
As DPAS modernizes it technical platform, a DLMS micro-service was identified as having value to the DPAS program. The new DLMS micro-service will support the processing of DLMS transactions for all DPAS modules. By consolidating DLMS transaction processing, it facilitates DPAS having a single DLMS Transaction Review process.
 
Mission Critical:
 
 
Benefits:
Reduces maintenance by eliminating multiple DLMS Transaction Review processes that currently reside within each module.
 
Frequency: Hourly

02031 Auto Assign Serial Numbers PA,Registry (SA/LW) AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
As part of the receipt process,the serial number is a mandatory input. However, there are instances were a serial number has not been assigned to the asset.  Currently the DAF manages the assignment of serial number on a local log that is managed in the the Equipment Accountability Element (EAE). However, the receipt is processed in the receiving section, which would require the receiving section to stop the receipt process until they get a serial number assigned. This could cause a backlog of frustrated cargo until serial numbers are assigned.
 
Recommended:
Build the capability to auto assign a serial number during the receipt process. Create a radio button that can be engaged to assign the next available serial number.
 
Mission Critical:
As outlined in Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 5000.64 paragraph 4.6, one of the minimum data elements an APSR must include is a serial number. There are some instances were a serial number was not assigned by the manufacture, however DPAS requires a serial number on the property record as part of the receipt process.
 
Benefits:
By implementing an automated process this reduces the risk of assigning a duplicate serial number and also alleviates the need to maintain a off-line serial number assignment log at each of our Logistics Readiness Squadrons.

02030 Autofill DD1150 TIN PA,Warehouse,Materiel Management Army New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
Process Improvement:  When we use the DD Form 1150 in DPAS for equipment that is being turned in to the CCAD PBO warehouse that eventually will be turned into DRMS in San Antonio. The material handler has to initiate a DD Form 1348-1 for turn-in that needs the assets part number,Manufactures name and the model number to complete the required documentation.  (All fields)
 
Recommended:
Request that when we go into DPAS to initiate a DD Form 1150 Turn In - that DPAS automatically populates the model number, Manufactures name, and the Model number before printing. (All required fields)
 
Mission Critical:
The information mentioned in the recommendation is needed to meet all required information to correctly turn-in serviceable property and support property auditability and accountability.  
 
Benefits:
Auto-Fill DD Form 1150 TIN (Populate data from the system to the printable form).  
Manually going into DPAS to pull the required information and add it to the DD 1150 is time consuming/implementation will improve the accuracy and accountability of the information on the DD Form 1150 and satisfy audit requirements.    
 
Frequency: Daily
 
Users:
This affects all the CCAD Property Book Office employees.  This will support all PBO/APO/Custodians within DPAS to automate an auto-fill capability to these forms, reduce manual workload and improve property accountability that satisfies audit requirements.
02029 Redis Chaching Enterprise DLA In Progress
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
The DPAS system can receive a large number of database requests for static data causing a slow down on the database server.  A more optimized approach to retrieving this data will benefit the entire application.
 
Recommended:
Implement a Redis Caching Server in order to cache requests with heavy reads.  This will also assist with heavy writes of temporary data.  Implementing a caching server will greatly reduce the load on the database server and improve overall performance of DPAS.
 
Mission Critical:
 
Benefits:
Improved performance of the system.

02028 Warehouse Issue ILS-S Document Number Warehouse AF: GFM Removed
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description: 
AF GFM-A Warehouse module users have requested the capability to enter the document number, associated with a requisition, they receive from AF ILS-S into the Warehouse Issue process.  Entering the document number would replace the DPAS generated document number for this transaction.
 
Recommended:
On the LPWHN73 screen, provide the user the option to enter the original ILS-S document number ILS-S in the Warehouse Issue transaction or allow DPAS to generate the document number.  This could be similar to the generate serial number option in the warehouse receiving process (LPWHN19 screen) for serially managed items.
 
Mission Critical:
 
 
Benefits:
Currently, DPAS generates its own document number for each warehouse issue transaction.  This solution would provide the AF CICP warehouse user with the ability to reconcile their warehouse issue transactions with the requisitions received from ILS-S via the document number.  
 
Frequency: Daily
 
Users:
All current and future users of the Warehouse module in support of AF GFM-A CICP effort.
