| 01985 | DAI Accounting Interface Update | PA | MDA | New | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
DPAS is currently reporting unvalidated capital records to DAI. The DPAS-DAI Accounting interface report contains records not yet validated.
Recommended:
In order to ensure accurate accounting records, MDA requests an update to the DPAS-DAI interface report. Currently the DPAS is reporting unvalidated assets (records) to DAI. MDA requests DPAS to NOT report to DAI when the Agency Define #2 is marked 'No', since those records are not validated (yet) and they are not considered financially reportable.
Mission Critical:
MDA Directorate of Finance Policy: Capital assets classified as GE, IUS, and OM&S will be validated prior to being reported on Missile Defense Agency (MDA) financial statements.
Benefits:
This action will allow for a more efficient work flow and minimize the man-hours required to reconcile the interface report.
Frequency: Daily
Users:
DPAS will be monitored on a weekly basis in order to identify new assets that are brought to record and that meet financial reporting requirements. (Note: Daily monitoring is required during the last few weeks of the quarter, as assets may be added daily during this time).This will affect all MDA Property Accountability users of DPAS. |

| 01984 | Physical inventory for Asset ID in WM | Warehouse | Leidos | In Progress | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
CNIC does not have label printers available at their installations for the printing of an Inventory Control Number (ICN) label. As an alternative, they have purchase Asset Id labels that are affixed to the item at time of receipt. DPAS WM provides for the capture of the Asset Id, pRFID, UII, Serial Nbr as well as generating an ICN as a method for identifying an item in inventory. Their plan was to use the Asset Id label for conducting PIs. The problem is DPAS WM doesn't currently support the scan of the Asset Id as PA does. All of the other identifying options except for Asset Id are available in WM for identifying items in inventory. This SCR is requesting DPAS include the Asset Id as an option for identifying an item when conducting and when reconciling a physical inventory in WM.
Recommended:
Have the DPAS WM application include Asset Id as a method for identifying an item when conducting a physical inventory
Mission Critical:
Benefits:
Provides a way to label items with "purchased" labels when no label printers are available to the organization. Provides a standard method for conducting physical inventories between PA and WM.
Frequency: Daily
Users:
The SCR applies to all users of the DPAS WM application that do not have label printers to print identifying tags. This provides them a way to label and asset and conduct PIs using the label.Partially Completed - Release 2024.4.2 - 18 October 2024 |

| 01983 | Tool Accountability | MU | AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF | New | Change Request: New System Process
Description:
Problem: The current state of DPAS M&U lacks a crucial feature that hinders effective tool accountability for units. The absence of a dedicated tool accountability mechanism creates challenges in tracking and managing tools within the system. This enhancement aims to streamline the process of tracking tools across units, ensuring better visibility, control, and overall efficiency in tool management within the DPAS M&U system.
Recommended:
Solution is to implement a mirroring of the Warehouse Module's tool accountability features into the M&U module. This involves replicating the robust tool tracking mechanisms present in the Warehouse Module and integrating them seamlessly into the M&U module.
Mission Critical:
AFI 21-101 CH 8.5 Tool Accountability and Serviceability. Flight CC/SUPT and Section NCOICs/Chiefs,
through CTK Custodians, are responsible for tool and equipment accountability and control
(knowing where tools are and who has responsibility for them). When a person signs for a tool or
piece of equipment, they are considered the user and accountable for the item until it is returned
to the tool room and accountability transfers back to the CTK Custodian (through a representative
or tool room employee).Benefits:
Enhanced Accountability: Improved tracking reduces the risk of tool loss or misplacement.
Unified System: Standardized tool tracking practices promote cohesion across DPAS.
Streamlined Operations: Familiar functionalities minimize the learning curve and enhance efficiency.
Real-Time Visibility: Synchronization ensures up-to-date information on tool status and location.
Improved Reporting: Access to advanced reporting and analysis capabilities for better insights.
User Empowerment: Enriched features empower users in tool tracking and management.
Reduced Errors: Standardization minimizes data entry errors and duplications.
Adaptability: Scalable solution accommodates future changes in tool tracking requirements.Frequency: Daily

| 01982 | General Database Infrastructure Changes | Enterprise | Leidos | Done | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
In many application releases, the Leidos team needs to implement various database infrastructural changes and improvements. These changes include, but are not limited to, index adjustments, configuration changes, and the implementation of database utility objects. These changes and capabilities can not be invoked directly through the application but are nonetheless necessary for the availability, correctness, and performance of the DPAS system. I am requesting an SCR for calendar year 2024 to encompass this category of database changes.

| 01981 | Dark Mode | Enterprise | AF: VSCOS | New | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
Users complain the DPAS screens are too bright, causing eye fatigue, discomfort and headaches.
Recommended:
Provide a "dark mode" option to allow users to reduce the brightness of the DPAS screen. "Dark mode" option would inverse screen colors, turning the light background to black or dark shaded color. Text color would be the minimal contrast to allow for readability while reducing eye strain.

| 01980 | Update Legacy UII DoDAAC | PA | Leidos | New | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
The DPAS UII assignment process utilizes NAVSUP BSC's DoDAAC for the standard DPAS application. NAVSUP's BSC's DoDAAC was used due to the need to ensure uniqueness in the UII assignment process. With DPAS having gotten their own DoDAAC, there is a requirement to use DPAS's as NAVSUP BSC is no longer involved withe DPAS, thus there is not a good way to ensure this DoDAAC isn't used used by another system to assign UIIs
Recommended:
1. Update the DPAS System Setting table in prod to utilize the DPAS DoDAAC of "SC0010" and reset the last serial nbr used to 1.
2. Review DPAS processes to ensure there is nothing hard coded to use N00367 - uspAssetKeyValidation.sql, WPHRI01IUIDInterface.vb, AssetUpdate_LoanBL.vb,WPSAB15AssetTransfer.vb
3. Determine if an environment variable should be implemented to support standalone sites for the above processes so the correct DoDAAC is used in these programs.
Mission Critical:
This change updates the Agency DoDAAC used to assign the UII.
Benefits:
Standardizes the DoDAAC that DPAS uses for UII assignment rather than using an organization's DODAAC no longer supporting DPAS.
Frequency: Daily
Users:
This change impacts all customers that have a need to assign a UII to an asset within PA or WM. |

| 01979 | Labor Report | MU | AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF | New | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
Problem: There is no way to pull a Labor Report.
There are times when a Production Supervisor or likeness will need to pull a labor report for a specific period of time. There is no good way to do this currently in the system. The only way to do it now is to pull labor over a large period of time and then find the specific date within all of the data. Recommended:
1. Create a Labor Report that can be pulled from Forms-Reports.
2. Fillable Fields will include: Last transaction Dt/Time From & Last transaction Dt/Time To, Maintenance Activity which will be defaulted to the MA currently in, Equipment Pool defaulted to preferences if set-up and able to add multiple Equipment Pools, Labor Technician Drop-down able to add multiple, Maintenance Team able to add multiple.
3. Fields that the report will pull automatically: Maintenance Activity, Maintenance Team, Equipment Pool, Asset ID, Secondary Serial Number, Labor Technician, Actual labor Hours, Labor Category, Rate Type, Work Order Description, Requested Service, Service Performed, Last Transaction Date/Time, Work Order Status.Mission Critical:
Per T.O. 00-20-2 Paragraph 1.5.2.3, maintenance man-hours are used to determine repair times and cost to operate systems. Man-hours in maintenance data documentation systems are taken into consideration when determining manpower requirements.
Benefits:
Adding a labor report to DPAS M&U would provide supervisors with a valuable tool to monitor daily time allocation, ensuring that work hours are efficiently utilized. This enhancement would also offer a more precise insight into the allocation of time for each work order, enhancing overall fleet management and resource planning.

| 01978 | Non-serialized WAWF AS receipts | PA | Leidos | New | Change Request: Process Improvement
Description:
Currently the PIEE WAWF AS 856 (new procurement receipt) does not contain a serial nbr when there is no UII included by the vendor. When DPAS initially developed the interface, the decision was made to not display WAWF AS Receipts that do not have a serial nbr. This design has worked well for the DPAS customer base. With increased use of DPAS, there are several customers that wish to see the WAWF receipts that do not contain a serial nbr within the property accountability application. Note: DPAS does display non-serizlied WAWF AS receipts within its Warehouse application.
Recommended:
Provide for PIEE new procurement receipts sent via the WAWF AS 856 transactions that do not contain the UII loop to be shown as a Due In within the DPAS PA application as an organizational option. Recommend DPAS incorporate a UIC Setting that will provide the UIC the option to view / not view WAWF AS 856 receipts that do not contain a serial nbr. This change will retain the current capability for the organizations that do not want to see WAWF AS 856 receipts that do not contain a serial nbr and will provide the capability for organizations that want to view all receipts (serial and non-serial).
Mission Critical:
Benefits:
Provide the DPAS customer with visibility of non-UII/non-serialized WAWF receipts.
Users will be able to receipt for a wider variety of assets into PA. Frequency: Daily

Mission Critical:
Benefits:
This will allow users to run the consumption report for multiple stock numbers within a searched field (item description, size, color, reportable commodity type) without having to individually select each stock number. Having the select all/all pages button will allow users to more efficiently select large amounts of stock numbers for the consumption report.
