01915 Custodian Accountable Property Inventory PA DISA New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
The DPAS PA Module does not have the capability of separating accountable and non-accountable assets when developing inventory reports.  Accountable Property Officers' must manually remove non-accountable assets when generating the report; we would like to mitigate possible errors during this process.  An option to create an inventory for accountable assets 'ONLY' would alleviate having non-accountable assets appear on inventory reports.
 
Recommended:
Establish an option to create inventory reports for accountable assets only.  
 
Mission Critical:
DODI 5000.64, 4.5 (Accountability Records). In an effort to provide a management system for Property Custodians to manage assets maintained in the PA Module, non-accountable assets will continue to be processed, but managed at the Property Custodian level.
 
Benefits:
It mitigates possible errors during the inventory report development process.  Having the option to create an inventory for accountable assets 'ONLY' would alleviate having non-accountable assets appear on inventory reports.

01913 Edit or Cancel Issued Parts Requisitions in MU and Warehouse Enterprise AF: VSCOS New
Description:
DPAS lacks the ability to cancel part requisitions issued from warehouse against a work order. Maintenance activities can encounter scenarios where an issued part is no longer required to complete the job and the item must returned to stock within warehouse. Currently, there is no course to remove the requisition from the sub work order and return the items to warehouse-picked location.  Additionally, there is no option to edit Unit cost after issuing part.  Maintenance activities must update the unit cost to accurately capture Non-Labor Cost on the work order.

Recommended:
1) Provide an option within M&U to cancel a requisition after issue, document the item as returned to stock and remove the entry from the sub work order. 
2) Provide a Maint Issue reversal within the Warehouse module, receiving item back to original warehouse-picked location and remove request from the sub work order. 
3) Provide an option to edit unit cost within sub work order after the request enters "IS-Issued" status. Unit cost correction should allow the user to adjust the Unit Cost within the Sub Work Order Parts section updating the work order's non-labor costs.
 
Mission Critical:
Department of the Air Force policy dictates documentation of sustainment expenditures and proper management of warehouse inventory.  This change is critical to accurate financial records, strengthening the department's Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation (FIAR) efforts.
 
Benefits:
Eliminates work-a-round required to remove issued parts for the work order and return items to stock. Improves Department of the Air Force’s accuracy of sustainment costs and financial records.
 
Users:
Yes, all users and agencies will benefit from this change.
01912 Add Current Meter Reading to Asset Prv Maint Sched Inquiry MU AF: VSCOS Done
Description:
Asset preventative maintenance schedule inquiry does not provide Current Meter Reading as an available data field.  The inquiry provides Total Util Qty reflecting the asset's utilization history but data point will not match Current Meter Reading if a meter replacement occurred. Upcoming maintenance determinations use the Next Util Qty that reflects when the asset is due schedule maintenance based on Current Meter Reading.  Comparing Next Util Qty to the Total Util Qty cannot provide accurate assessment if asset is overdue maintenance.

Recommended:
Add Current Meter Reading as a available field when performing Asset Preventative Maintenance Schedule Inquiry.
 
Mission Critical:
Critical to completing schedule maintenance on-time and not degrading mission capabilities.
 
Benefits:
Change will improve data accuracy and user experience.
 
Users:
This change will benefit all M&U users and agencies.

01911 NMC Default Configuration for Maintenance Program Level MU AF: VSCOS New
Description:
Air Force policy directs the use of Non-Mission Capable (NMC) work orders, however compliance is reliant on user selecting this option when generating work orders. NMC preference is available at the user level but no option is available to set this as Maint Program default.

Recommended:
Add Non-Mission Capable (NMC) as a Maint Program configuration option. When option is selected all new work order will open with NMC=Yes as the default with an error message if the asset has an open NMC work order. Open NMC work order "error message" will trigger users to close the current NMC work order or edit new work order to reflect NMC=No.  This would function exactly the same as the current user preference, but give the Maint Director option to implement this default across the Maint Program and affect all work orders.
 
Mission Critical:
Critical to accurately capturing fleet readiness and meet Department of the Air Force policy mandates.
 
Benefits:
Change will improve NMC data accuracy and fleet readiness reporting.
 
Users:
This change will benefit all M&U users and agencies.
01910 Work Plan Display Improvements MU AF: VSCOS New
Description:
Work Plan Desc field within sub work order is a free text field with option to use "spyglass" for browsing established plans.  Users are bypassing browse function and entering free text to capture desired display of information. This work around prevents the system from linking the sub work order to established work plans and maintenance schedules. Common reason for using free text is to manipulate how the sub work order tab displays (e.g., users want to see plan id). Additionally, the sub work order incorrectly identifies "Work Plan Desc" when populating the field with the work plan name when using the browse function.
 
Recommended:
1) Disable the free text option for entering work plan details within the sub work order and require the use of the browse function. 
2) Edit sub work order's Work Plan Desc field name to display Work Plan Name. 
3) Update sub work order tab to display Work Plan Id and Work Plan Name. Example: Sub WO 8: 25BD HEATER/DEFROSTER
 
Mission Critical:
Critical to accurately capturing maintenance actions and schedule requirements.
 
Benefits:
Change will improve data accuracy and user experience.
 
Users:

This change will benefit all M&U users and agencies.

01908 FLIS V8 Update Enterprise Leidos Done
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
As part of the FLIS Transformation and Cataloging Modernization efforts at DLA, FPDW has partnered with DLA’s Defense Automated Address System (DAAS) to provide NSN item data. FPDW web services will no longer be available after 30 November 2023.
 
Recommended:
DPAS jobs currently accessing the FLIS webservice must be updated to pull and parse the IPV8 flat-files from GEX for NSN additions and updates.
 
Mission Critical:
This is both mission critical and mandated. Updates must be in place for the November 2023 cut off to ensure DPAS continues to receive data from FLIS.
 
Benefits:
This update is required to ensure updates from WebFLIS are reflected in DPAS to ensure NSN data is properly reflected in the system ensuring accuracy and maintaining accountability of data correctness.

01907 SKO Catalog Modernization Enterprise Leidos In Progress
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
There are several requests from various agencies regarding the expansion of SKO catalog functionality to allow enhanced import/export capabilities, automatic generation of SKO catalogs during the build process, support for multiple nested kits, as well as requirements to support other hierarchical item associations outside the scope of the kitting process. To spearhead these updates a tech refresh of the SKO Catalog process should be preformed to migrate the logic to the new tech stack providing new UI, and preventing migration of newly added functionality  
 
Recommended:
To spearhead proposed updates to the DPAS kitting processes, a tech refresh of the SKO Catalog process should be preformed to migrate the current functionality to the new tech stack thus paving the way to implement user requested system changes to the SKO Catalog process.    
 
Mission Critical:
Mission critical. Kits continue to be highly utilized by various agencies within the system. Allowing us to build on top of current functionality is pivotal to continue providing additions to support user functionality.
 
Benefits:
Refreshing the SKO catalog process will reduce the time required to apply future updates to the kitting logic by ensuring new functionality is included under the new tech stack, removing the need to migrate logic in the future.
 
Frequency: Daily
 
Users:
All catalogers will have an updated Set Kit Outfit AUD process when this SCR is completed.
