01735 Automate Transfer of Phyical Inventory Data from Handheld to DPAS PA Leidos New

Description:

The DPAS Progressive Web App "PWA" for conducting a physical inventory was initially designed to be 100% off-line. To utilize, the user had to manually export and import the data using an Excel file created/managed by DPAS. There was no automated connection between DPAS and the PWA. DPAS needs to provide a seamless automated transfer of the physical inventory data without having to copy and paste files.

 

Recommended:
Provide the capability to for the user to establish an authenticated session between a mobile device and DPAS providing for transfer of the PI data between the device and DPAS without the need for export/import. Once the transfer is complete provide for the PI to be conducted without being connected to DPAS.

 

Mission Critical:
highly desire and requested

 

Benefits:
Reduces time and complexity for the user. Eliminates the need for the excel import/export process, and improves data accuracy / integrity, eliminating the need for a manually transferred data file

 

Users:
all inventory personnel responsible for conducting/reporting physical inventory counts

01734 SCR_01734 - Customer Support Request Enterprise Leidos In Progress

Description:
The current DPAS internal trouble reporting process is limited to users of the PA module. DPAS needs to provide the capability to all modules of DPAS. In addition to submitting issues, users should have inquiry and update capabilities of their tickets. If they erroneously create one, they should be able close it.

 

Recommended:
Update the user interface to the current DPAS design. Modernize the back end services to the latest tech stack, establishing api endpoints within a service that will support the new user interface to enable it to be deployed to all modules. The initial efforts will be targeting the DPAS end user community. The M&U module is the initial module targeted for modernization, and will be the first module to have the new capabilities. Once it is operational within the M&U module, implementation will be to the other modules of DPAS. The Customer Support Center will continue to use its existing processes until the it has been implemented across all DPAS modules.

 

Mission Critical:
This SCR is part of the DPAS Modernization effort. The submission / management of user initiated help tickets is to be implemented module independent. The overall effort is to reduce integration efforts as modules are added and to provide the user and customer support staff with improved capabilities.

 

Benefits:

01733 Submit Materiel Mgmt Accounting Transactions to Advana Enterprise USAF In Progress
Change Request: New System Process
 

Description:

Advana is the DoD data store for financial feeder transactions.  DPAS currently sends accounting transactions for the Property Accountability module, but is not sending accounting transactions that are generated from its Materiel Management. module.  DPAS needs to transmit accounting transactions that are generated for the Air Force GFM-A OM&S activity to enable full accounting of all GAFS-R transactions.
 
Recommended:
Incorporate the accounting transactions that are generated from within Materiel Management module along with the Property Accountability accounting transactions to Advana on a monthly basis as part of the UOT feed.
 
Mission Critical:
With Advana having all financial feeder transactions, it should include those generated by DPAS's Materiel Management module.
 
Benefits:
Provides full accounting of all DPAS accounting activity.  Enables a reconciliation of all accounting transactions between the source and financial system.
 
Frequency: Monthly
 
Users:
 

All customers requiring financial reporting for materiel/equipment held within the Materiel Management module.

01731 User Queries For All Modules Enterprise Leidos Done
Description:
 
DPAS does not currently provide users (to include Information Owners (IOs)) the ability to run user access/role queries in all modules.  The 'Agency Pre-defined Inquiry' role does provide limited queries for PA and M&U only; however, "User Training Status" and "Users UIC"  need to be improved to provide additional helpful user column information.  All other modules need a role to provide accurate and helpful user queries.  (note: query "User Listing" apart of Agency Pre-defined Inquiry role does not provide accurate user information).
 
Recommended:
 
For PA/MU improve the Agency Pre-defined Inquiry role to include additional user column data.  For all other modules provide new role for user access/role query ability.
 
Mission Critical:
 
Yes, this is mission critical to assist Commands with managing their user base as well as assist them in completing their Annual User Audit.  This also helps us to support our SSAE audit readiness.
 
Benefits:
 
Appropriate users (to include Information Owners and Alternates) will have the ability to run user queries in all modules to have visibility of their users' access and roles to support the needs of their user base as well as complete their Annual User Audits.
 
Users:
 
This affects all users who need the ability to run user access queries to support their command's access to DPAS.

01730 DD 1149 'From' Address Option Enterprise VSCOS New
Description:
 
System lacks address options when generating a DD Forms1149, Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document through Property Accountability (PA).  The form populates the "From" block using the assigned UIC's APO address.  In many circumstances, the item (i.e., vehicle) shipment location is not collocated with UIC's APO location.  The address issue results with the Transportation Office rejecting the shipment request because "From" block does not accurately reflect physical location of shipment.  Allowing DPAS users the ability to edit the "From" field generating the DD Form 1149 streamlines process, eliminates errors and provides accurate shipping documents.
 
Recommended:
 
Request DPAS add an editable "From" field to the Generate Forms > DD Form 1149 function similar to the "Ship To - Mark For" field.  Providing a space for users to manually enter the address and/or use the address browse function to populate Section 1 of the DD1149. Recommend linking the address browse function to addresses loaded under the UIC's Master Data within PA and Maintenance & Utilization (M&U) modules.  A dropdown menu allowing users to narrow Address Type search (i.e., EP-Equipment Pool, MO-Maintenance Officer, AO-Actbl Prop Officer, or 02-DODAAC TAC(2) used for FREIGHT).
 
The desired end result is the user generating a DD Form 1149 with their preferred "From" address vs. the system populating Section 1 with the UIC's APO address.
 
Mission Critical:
 
Critical.  Accurate shipping documents ensure warfighters receive critical items when and where necessary to execute mission.  Streamlining DPAS prevents erroneous shipment actions due to incorrect ship "From" location.  
 
Benefits:
 
Incorrect shipment documentation drives additional shipping costs, delays/cancels shipment and increases mission failure rates.  Adding address edit/selection function eliminates shortfalls and results in warfighter mission success.
 
Users:
 
This will affect all DPAS users.
01729 Add GFE Accountability and Financial Reporting to ICP/WH Modules Enterprise USAF In Progress
Description:
 
AF has determined its contractor inventory control points (CICPs) also manage general support equipment for their program offices. The general support equipment in the possession of CICPs is a type of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and is currently not accounted for or financially reported on the AF financial statements.  AF GFM-A team proposes incorporating the additional ITFRs into the DPAS ICP and Warehouse modules to allow the CICPs to account for and financially report the GFE via the same processes in DPAS used for GFM.
 
Recommended:
 
Incorporate the additional ITFRs and process flows/narratives into the DPAS ICP and Warehouse modules.  Configure ICP module to capture key data elements including; Acquisition cost, Acquisition date and serial number; and calculate depreciation for capital assets. Configure ICP module to financially report capital assets with asset type code of “G” to GAFS-R.  
 
Mission Critical:
 
Asset accountability and financial reporting is mandated.  Need by date is Dec 2021.
 
Benefits:
 
This would provide accountability and financial reporting for AF GFE managed by contractors improving the AF’s audit results. This solution would replace the AF’s manual reporting efforts with automated processes using the AF’s Accountable Property System of Record (APSR) for Equipment.  Solution would benefit other services that use DPAS ICP and Warehouse modules for ICP accountability and financial reporting.
 
Users:
 
ALL AF GFM-A users of DPAS
01728 FAMIS-WCF Interface Update PA DISA Done
Description:
 
DPAS does not allow for 18 characters for Job Order Number and Depreciation Job Order Number for the FAMIS-WCF interface - interface code "AC"
 
Recommended:
 
Update the FAMIS-WCF interface to allow 18 characters for Job Order Number and Depreciation Job Order Number due to DISA's OneFund implementation for interface code "AC"
 
Mission Critical:
 
Mission mandated - DISA's Working Capital Fund is moving to a single fund instead of two (combining TSEAS & CS). This change is going live on 10/1/21 for financial reporting and we need to update the interface from DPAS to properly account for PP&E.
 
Benefits:
 
This implementation is needed to correctly financial account for DISA's PP&E
 
Users:
 
Yes, this action affects all user within the Agency.

01727 WM Issue to PA Enterprise Leidos Done
Description:
 
The DPAS current Property Accountability module does not provide for the Accountable Property Officer (APO) to request equipment from the Warehouse module to be issued, or purchased as would be customary when the DPAS Warehouse module is operating / provide the organization with its Base Supply functions.
 
Recommended:
 
The integration of the 2 modules will occur as a multiple phase approach.  This initial phase will enable the Warehouse (WM) to issue to the Accountable Property Office (PA) equipment that is on hand.  The system will establish a Due In record in the Property Accountability module at the Site/UIC with the Custodian being optional. Future phases will incorporate the ability for the APO to request items from the Warehouse establishing the Due In in PA and a Due Out in WM.  When the warehouse issues the item, the Due Out will be closed with the PA Due In being updated to reflect the item has been issued and is awaiting for the APO to receipt for the item.
 
Mission Critical:
 
This is part of the DPAS modernization effort that is to provide more cross integration of the modules / processes of DPAS.
 
Benefits:
 
This change will reduce the time required to receipt for materiel being issued from the warehouse to the property book as well as provide improved accuracy and financial accountability for the issued asset.
 
Users:
 
It will affect all organizations that are using the Warehouse and Property Accountability modules.
