Description 
AF Support Equipment is physically identified by 5-character equipment IDs that are usually based on the serial number (but not always), and are stenciled, painted, etched, or otherwise attached to make the equipment readily identifiable from 10-15 feet away. In legacy systems, this equipment ID was also used as the asset ID or serial number. DPAS uses a system-generated asset ID and the actual serial number is recorded in the system. The actual serial number is typically too long to reasonably attach to the equipment, and remarking all equipment to accommodate the transition to DPAS is cost and manpower prohibitive. Propose using an agency definable field to allow recording of a locally determined equipment ID.

Recommended 
Utilized Agency Definable field to create capability to enter and record a locally determined equipment ID. Equipment ID is non-unique and can be changed. Require ability to search by equipment ID and require equipment ID to be reflected on work orders.

Mission Critical 
This is mission critical. Lack of ability to easily identify equipment will degrade mission effectiveness and increase the risk of damage to combat aircraft. Remarking all SE to reflect actual item serial numbers is cost and manpower prohibitive, and is not possible in many cases due to length of serial number and available space for marking.

Benefits 
Improves accountability, reduces manpower cost in marking equipment and identifying equipment for dispatch, inventory, or other purpose. Reduces risk to aircraft, munitions, and personnel through ready identification of correct, serviceable SE.

Users 
This affects all M&U module users within the United States Air Force.

Utilizing the DoD Serial Number to fill that purpose.

Description
Property Administrators cannot change multiple asset location or sub-location within one transaction. This is not a master data issue. Locations are accurately listed in master data. If an asset is moved physically, the location and/or sub-location needs to be updated from where it is currently listed in DPAS. If there are multiple assets that need to be updated under a UIC, it requires multiple transactions instead of being able to update each asset within one transaction and under one DOC number. Create the capability for PAs to update a complete UIC's assets location and/or sub-location under one transaction.

Recommended
Create the capability for PAs to update a complete UIC's assets location and/or sub-location under one transaction. Maybe this can be done by simply adding a save option within the UPDATE under Asset Management. Once all asset updates are completed for that UIC, you click submit and it is all done under one transaction and DOC number. This feature is already in use and available when new assets are added.

Mission Critical
This is not mission critical at this time. However, it is extremely time consuming and inconvenient for the PA to make updates using separate transactions and under different DOC numbers.

Benefits
This solution will save huge amounts of time for PAs. Assets listed under all UICs within their assigned AUIC, must show accurate location and sub-location in order for their physical locations to be known. Accurate location and sub-location will increase accurate asset accountability and decrease asset loss.

Users
This will affect all PAs assigned to FF-GEIT.

Description
Currently DPAS does not allow user to add new location data on the asset update screen. Only preloaded locations within Master Data may be selected from. Propose allowing user to add locations from the asset update screen rather than having to add to master data every time a new location is needed.

Recommended
Add the capability to add location data on the asset update screen instead of updating through the master data function.

Mission Critical
This is not mission critical at this time. However, it is very time consuming and inconvenient for the PA to add location data on the master data screen and then go back to the asset update screen to select the location that was added.

Benefits
This solution will save time and prevent an unneeded step for PAs. This solution will allow locations to be added on the same screen where they need to be selected rather than adding in master data and then going back to the asset update screen to select.

Users
This will affect all PAs assigned to FF-GEIT.

Description  
ASA(ALT) community would like to customize roles for its users in support of the mission objectives of the Program Managers.

Recommended  
Modify the DPAS roles to custom ALT roles in support of Army business process; create the ALT roles on the attached spreadsheet aligned to business functions required.

Mission Critical  
This is mission critical because ASA(ALT) PMs operate in a slightly different manner than a traditional warehouse.  We also need to have super users available to support each organization.

Benefits  
ASA(ALT) PMs will be able to utilize and execute DPAS in accordance with their mission objectives.

Completed – Release 2020.1.2 – 17 April 2020

Description  
Each Program Office/Commodity Type has a responsibility to maintain a complete inventory of all government owned ST/STE property. Periodically, complete Physical Inventories are conducted at each storage location. This inventory is managed in excel documents, identifying the tool id, condition, and physical storage location. The Program Office manages tens of thousands of production ST/STE for each weapon system, it would be physically impossible and costly to manually update the DPAS database with the current condition and physical storage location for each item after a physical inventory. An automated solution is needed to mass update lists of ST/STE in a timely, cost effective manner.

Recommended  
Need to create an import program to upload the Physical Inventories and update the condition and physical location of each tool.

Mission Critical  
Mission Critical. In order to be FIAR audit compliant, the program office must be able to reconcile their inventories within DPAS.

Benefits  
This correction will reduce Time/Cost for updating physical inventory lists and ensures/improves Accuracy and Accountability of DoD owned ST/STE. It is mandated that the complete list of all DoD owned ST/STE property be managed in DPAS. Currently, it is cost prohibitive to manually update the location and condition of all tooling located at a storage facility after a physical inventory. 

Users  
All users, it is vital to know where tooling is stored to support the maintainability of the weapon system.

Description
Each Program Office/Commodity Type has a responsibility to maintain a complete inventory of all government owned ST/STE property. Through the eTIMS system, the Program Office receives a listing of any new ST/STE that has been created to support the weapon system. This information needs to be inserted into the DPAS database, so the Program Office has a complete inventory of all government owned ST/STE.

Recommended
Create an import to add new ST/STE into DPAS.

Mission Critical

Mission Critical
This is a time and resource saving change.

Benefits
Reduce time (clicks) to process an Issue transaction.

Users
Warehouse users performing Issue transactions.

Description
Enhance existing DPAS CIP to support USMC NAF requirements.

Recommended
Develop the functionality to support tracking CIP costs by Development Phase. Add logic to display fields based on Project Phase and Project Type.
