01964 Enterprise Cost Center AUD Enterprise Leidos Done
Change Request: New System Process

Description: 
 In DPAS today, the Materiel Management module does not currently have a cost center AUD process nor does the Requisition process. For enterprise accounting, cost centers must be available for agencies to apply a designated cost center to each accounting transaction as needed. To make cost centers available, we will implement a cost center AUD process in the Materiel Management as well as remove the cost center field from the MM appropriation screen and make it available within the Requisition Order processes.   The balance of the effort is to develop the new Cost Center processes for use with any module of DPAS that requires Cost Center data.
 
Recommended: 
Implement cost center AUD screens using modern technical solutions, employing the accounting microservice and new data tables. The data solution will utilize cost center "collections" to which organizations will be associated. Cost centers will be added/updated/deleted at the ICP tier level from the master data menu. Imported DAI cost centers will also be available for any agency that uses DAI for its accounting management.
 
Mission Critical: 
Per DoD FMR 7000.14 and SFFAS 4, cost centers are required for tracking and reporting accumulated costs.  This change is part of the DPAS technical refresh of the accounting services that DPAS provides as a feeder system to financial systems.

 
Benefits: 
DPAS users will be able to add, update and delete cost centers, and associate cost centers to their accounting transactions.
 
Frequency: Daily
 
Users: 
Users of Materiel Mgmt. module and Requisition (Order) processes that generate financial activity will the be initial users of this change.

01963 WPSEN01 Open Work Order Maintenance Activity Filter MU AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
Problem: When users are using the Search Filters in the Work Order - Open (WPSEN01) screen, there is no ability to filter via Maintenance Activity. Instead users have to try and filter by using the Equipment Pool. Since all of our users have Site level access for Data Inquiry, and this function is an extension of the Inquiry ability, they have to search all 800+ Equipment Pools to find their own.
 
Recommended:
Add the ability to select Maintenance Activity as a search filter option. Also, make it a cascading effect to where only the Equipment Pools from the selected Maintenance Activity populate for users ease
 
Mission Critical:
 
 
Benefits:
By adding this additional search filter will greatly improve and streamline users abilities to search for open Work Orders by Maintenance Activity and Equipment Pool.
 
Frequency: Daily
 
Users:
This improvement will be used by all users,  hundreds of times a day.
01962 CAV-GE to DPAS PA Army: ASA(ALT) New
Change Request: New System Process

Description:
Validation of Capital Assets required for all Army capital assets receipt and accepted through WAWF. Monitoring controls via workflow for completeness and accuracy of GE Valuation data elements with ability to add additional intended use costs including WAWF unit price for each capital asset. Proper identification (UII, material number, NSN, serial number) of capital assets. Ability to capture total capital assets receipt and accepted in WAWF required to be recorded to DPAS following PEO/PM and ASA(ALT) validation.  Remediation effort for many audit findings regarding GE Valuation for 10 Notice of Finding and Recommendations
 
Recommended:
WAWF connects to CAV-GE workflow for each capital asset record disseminated to the appropriate PEO/PM by ship to DoDAAC. Each record is validated by the PEOs/PMs and ASA(ALT) ARD in CAV-GE with an audit trail with formal approvals and reference to supporting documentation. Users within CAV-GE can update specific fields for additional cost and validate the required Dod 5000.64 and accounting standard data elements from the WAWF Receiving Report to DPAS in an automated workflow.
 
Mission Critical:
Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standard 6
DoD 5000.64
Army Regulation 770-2 and DA PAM 770-2
ASA(ALT) ARD GE Valuation Guidance
 
Benefits:

01961 MU Data to Advana MU AF: A4/HAF FH-AFHAF In Progress
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
The current interface control document does not ask for the data related to the Work_Order_Header_ NMC  as well as the Work_Order_Header_NMC_Total header tables.  These tables track the time and reason work orders are placed in a NMC status (including NMCS & NMCM).  Without these tables it is difficult to calculate the amount of time a piece of equipment was down for each status, either total lifecycle downtime or relative to a specific work order.
 
Recommended:
Add all the data elements from these tables to the ADVANA data feed.  Furthermore, the ADVANA Interface Control Document (ICD) will need to be updated to capture the additional data elements and the associated formats.  In addition, any keys necessary to join to the work order header table will need to be included.
 
Mission Critical:
ADVANA dashboards are needed to support data analytics from DPAS M&U.
 
Benefits:
Allows the ability to capture metrics on how long equipment was down due to supply or maintenance issues.  Attaining lifecycle sustainment data on aviation support equipment was the entire reason for our transition to DPAS M&U.  This is a further step to making that data available to leadership, sustainment orgs, and users across the AF enterprise.
 
Frequency: Daily
 
Users:
These analytical tools will be used by the various program offices to capture trends and support business/budget decisions vs federated error prone spreadsheets currently in use.

01960 ICP Rebalance Tool Materiel Management Leidos Done
Description:
DPAS has a script that identifies out of balances between a DPAS warehouses and their linked ICP.  Currently this script must be run by a DBA.  This needs to be added to the DPAS admin module's menu to enable it to be run without a DBA to execute.

Recommended:
Create a GUI front-end for the script that can be incorporated into a DPAS admin role that will enable the running of the Warehouse / ICP Re-balance script from a menu selection.
 
Mission Critical:
This change is considered mission critical in providing improved support to the customer. Today it could take 4-5 days to make the customer whole after the research determines that a re-balance is required. This change will not eliminate the research, but it will eliminate the time required to develop a script, obtain sign-offs and having it executed.
 
Benefits:
Reduces time and cost for the DPAS sustainment team.  Reduces the time the user is out of commission.
 
Users:
Users of Materiel Mgmt and Warehouse.

01959 Condition Code U ADC 1434 Warehouse Leidos New
Description:
DoD issued DLMS change 1434 data Sep 5, 2023 that provides for a new Condition Code "U".  Condition Code "U - Limited Remaining Life Before Failure" is to be used in conjunction with serviceable components that were removed based upon Condition-Based Maintenance that is defined in DODI 4151.22.
 
Recommended:
Add Condition Code "U = Limited Remaining Life Before Failure" ot the DPAS Warehouse / Materiel management applications.   Customers will need to be contacted to determine which customers desire to have this condition code added to their list of valid condition codes as not all organizations are using DPAS to manage components used in conjunction with maintenance.
 
Mission Critical:
This change is considered mission critical to those customers using DPAS warehouse to manage maintenance parts/assemblies.
 
Benefits:
The benefit of adding Condition Code U is: 1) provides DoD compliance and 2) provides for more accurate accounting of materiel stowed in the warehouse, and 3) enables ICPs that manage reparables to accurately account for the items in inventory.  
 
Users:
No.  Condition Code "U" will apply to those users managing parts in conjunction with maintenance.
01958 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 2023 to encompass this category of database changes.
 
Recommended:
Implementation of any database infrastructural changes and improvements deemed necessary by the Leidos Team.

Description:
DoD issued DLMS change 1415 data May 11, 2023 that provides for the transmitting of acquisition and valuation data to the gaining activity utilizing the DLMS 536R Acquisition and Valuation transaction set. DoD Components are required to record and maintain the following data elements in their respective APSRs as stated in DoDI 5000.64 (Reference 10.a.) and DoD Manual 4140.01, Volume 11 (Reference 10.c.). All data elements required under reference 10.a.
and 10.c. are available in the new DLMS 536R IC.
 
Recommended:
When DPAS performs an external transfer, in addition to creating / transmitting the DLMS 856S shipment status, it should create and transmit the DLMS 536R Acquisition and Valuation containing the key data elements required by DoDI 5000.64 and DoD Manual 4140.01, Volume 11.  DPAS must be modified to accept the new DLMS 536R transactions set for transfers that are to DPAS based organization using the data to populate the fields as outlined in DoDI 5000.64 (Reference 10.a.) and DoD Manual 4140.01, Volume 11 (Reference 10.c.).
 
Mission Critical:
This change is considered mission critical and mandated for Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) compliance.
