01665 DPAS to EBiz Interface Codes PA DFAS Done

Description
Due to an audit finding we have an issue where the document number and obligating document number in DPAS only transfers to eBiz with the x819 transactions.
The document number and obligating document number for x815 and x817 transactions do not appear on the interface file as these fields are currently optional.

Mission Critical
This is a mission critical function as it is causing an audit finding.

Benefits
The benefit of implementing this change will reduce process time for accounting technicians to manually input the document number for capital transactions.  Additionally, it will improve the accuracy of the financial statements because eBiz will receive the data from DPAS and reduce the risk of input errors.

01662 DISA COAMS Location Interfacing Enterprise DISA New

Description
DISA is requesting the Defense Property Accountability System (DPAS) Program Management Office (PMO) to modify the DPAS application to interoperate with other DISA and DOD systems that use location and other enumerations from the Cyber Operational Attribute Management System (COAMS).  Once modifications are made, DISA will be able to use data from DPAS to update other systems, and data from other systems to update DPAS eliminating both duplication of effort and inconsistent data between systems.

Recommended
Integrate DPAS with COAMS so that users can create new sub-organizations and sub-locations in COAMS via DPAS by using a DPAS-COAMS interface. Similar to the Real Property Identification interfacing located under the Master data/location. See attach COAMs Integration Levels.

01660 Add Cu Ft attribute to Stock Nbr Inquiry / Create a Real-Time report Warehouse DLA New

Description
DLA is implementing DPAS for supplies that are managed by COCOs.  The COCOs could have materiel that is warehoused with more than 1 owner.  DLA needs a way to determine warehouse utilization by owner.  To be effective, customer must be diligent in accurately reporting the Unit Cube(ft) of the Unit Of Issue Qty.

Recommended
Add Cu Ft to the Stock Nbr inquiry, and/or develop a real-time report that depicts the following attributes:

  • warehouse name,
  • stock nbr,
  • item desc,
  • owning dodaac,
  • total on hand qty for Stock Nbr/Owning DoDAAC,
  • unit cube,
  • sum(qty) x unit cube.

Mission Critical
This is considered essential for managing warehouse utilization.  While nothing is perfect due to how materiel must be stored in the warehouse efficiently and effectively, it does provide a measure of utilization within a warehouse.

Benefits
It provides the customer with a way of looking at Warehouse Utilization / Space Utilization and in determining a cost allocation of the warehouse operations for COCO operations.

Users
This change is considered beneficial for all customers / users of the Warehouse module.

01659 FLIS/FEDLOG Update Enterprise Leidos Done

Description
Currently when a user adds a new NSN record either by Catalog A/U/D or insert from conversion that does not exist on the DPAS Fedlog tables there is no current process to go to FLIS / FEDLOG to update the record with proper FLIS values or verify if indeed the stock number added is an NSN. I&S and other data may remain incomplete or wrong if user entered incorrectly.

Recommended
Create DPAS to webflis file feed that allows to request records from FLIS to be updated or inserted to DPAS Fedlog tables.  All 13 digit numbers catalog as B should be sent.  If FLIS finds a match and responds with data, data should be inserted to Fedlog tables.  Background process should then update Stock Number types of B to A then update to fedlog values including I&S data.  All 13 digit Stock Number types of A that do not have Fedlog records should be updated in the same fashion.  Additional step in the background process would be to retrieve I&S stock numbers not in DPAS Fedlog tables.  Records that have Parents or children with no Fedlog record should be processes with rules above or set in a holding table to request data from FLIS.  Alternative would be to use FEDLOG disks to do a monthly reconciliation if FLIS interface cannot facilitate requests for data.

Mission Critical
Yes currently many customers have incomplete data as well as records that are indeed NSNs that does not have current Fedlog data or wrong data.

Benefits
Customers have valid data from FLIS/DLA centralized source for NSNs.

Users
Yes all users are affected.  Tech Refresh is dependent to deliver better requisition and reporting capabilities future state.

01658 Alpha Character in the 11th position of Document Number Enterprise DoDEA New

Description
Provide DPAS functionality to allow the system to generate document numbers with an Alpha Character in the 11th position:

  • DoDM 4160.21-V1, October 2, 2019 provides guidance to agencies to process turn-in documents in the DLA Disposition Services web-based Electronic Turn-in Document (ETID) System.  The ETID system generates the document number with alpha character “T” in the 11th position of the document number.
  • DoDEA is required to use this system, to process 1348-1A in order for the DLA Disposition Services (DLA DS) contracted transportation to pick up turn-in property; per the guidance there is no way for DLA DS or DoDEA to track the property if the 1348-1A isn’t generated in their system.
  • The DPAS system does not support document numbers with an Alpha Character in the 11th position.  This has become issue with DoDEA, turn-in documents due to inability to generate identical turn-in document numbers sequence in order to match the document numbers for transaction recondition for audit review/readiness, and the tracking of turn-in documents. DoDEA requires DPAS system to support incorporating the Alpha Character in the 11th position of the document number.

Recommended
Provide system functionality to auto generate or manually process document numbers with the ability to populate the 11th position with Alpha character. Consider inter-face with DPAS and DLA Disposition Services.

Mission Critical
This request is functionality mission critical for the tracking and reconciliation of turn-in documents number. The DoDM 4160.21-V1 guidance doesn't mandates agencies to use DLA Disposition Services web-based Electronic Turn-in Document (ETID) System to process/generate the 1348-1A document. DoDEA is using the ETID system because when contracted transportation pick up property, there is no way for DLA DS to track the property if is not in their system.

Benefits
The benefit of adding this feature will allow the user to track the transaction with identical data document numbers. It will provide accurate documentation, provide reconciliation/audit trail and allow the user to reduce the amount of time generating additional documents outside of DPAS to explain the circumstance of discrepancy between documents numbers for same transaction.

Users
Yes: This issue affects 100% of all DoDEA's property accountability functional users require to utilize the DLA Disposition Services for the disposal /turn-in process.

01657 Modify DLMS 940R Routing Warehouse Leidos New

Description
The DPAS DLMS Outbound processor checks to see if the DLMS transaction is to be routed internally based upon the RIC or DoDAAC To.  When the RIC or DoDAAC To exists within DPAS, the DLMS transaction is move to the DLMS Inbound folder rather than being placed in the DLMS Outbound folder. With DLA planning to use the DPAS Warehouse module for the management of VA PPE, there is a requirement to feed Transportation Request transactions to VSM which will have the same RIC as the DPAS warehouse (same organization operating VSM and DPAS).

Recommended
Modify the DPAS DLMS Outbound processor to check outbound generated DLMS 940R transactions for a Distribution Code (Industry Code = AK) of '111'.  When true, place transaction in the DLMS Outbound folder for DAAS to pickup.

Mission Critical
Yes.  Without this change, DPAS is unable to route Transportation Request transactions (DLMS 940Rs) to the transportation system when they utilize a RIC that exists within DPAS. This SCR is being submitted in support of the DLA VA PPE project.

Benefits
Enables transaction to be electronically sent to a Transportation Management System.  Without this change, it is not possible when the systems share the same RIC.

Users
This change will only impact customers of the Warehouse module that also operation a separate transportation system that requires the use of the same RIC as the Warehouse. It will have no affect on any other customer.
