01603 Deactivate Member Profiles Warehouse SPECWARCOM New

Description
Member profiles of individuals who are no longer within the Logistics Program are cluttering up all functions that require retrieving an individuals name. Some warehouses try managing their customer base via the customers assigned to their UIC but are unable to do so as it is convoluted with customers who left years ago.

Recommended
Give the ability to deactivate a member profile via a checkbox within their profile. Nothing associated with the member profile would be deleted, but on the front end this particular customer would not appear in any inquiries unless their profile is reactivated.

Mission Critical
Mandated - Although this doesn't stop our users from completing their day to day job it does add time to day to day functions in DPAS and increased user frustration as it leads to inaccurate transactions.

Benefits
This will allow for a cleaner and updated list of individuals within the Logistics Program by reducing the time to querying an individual since it would only need to retrieve active member profiles vice all historical profiles.

01602 Creation of New PA Role PA AF: GEIT New

Description
Current PA role in DPAS allows PAs to transfer an asset without the gaining PA seeing a pending transaction.  This allows assets to be transferred without approval of gaining PA. Based on suggestion from DPAS Support team, request a new PA role be created that has all of the current PA capabilities with the addition of forcing designate on transactions.

Recommended
Go forward with DPAS Support team suggestion of creating a new PA role that has all the current PA role capabilities along with the addition of forcing designate on transactions.

Mission Critical
Yes, currently assets are being transferred from on AUIC, UIC, Custodian to another without the approval of the gaining custodian.  This allows assets to be moved within the system without visibility/notification for gaining PAs.

Benefits
Addition of this role/capability would eliminate transactions being processed without gaining PA oversight and provide better overall tracking of equipment transactions.

Users
Yes, this will affect all PAs, which is all users within FF-GEIT.

01601 Reports/Forms Search Criteria Addition PA AF: GEIT New

Description
The options for search criteria under View Forms/Reports currently has three drop-down choices even when all 3 are deployed the results generated for a single day are too many to find a report that is more than a day old.  Propose adding additional search criteria to drop-down.

Recommended
Add 3 more search criteria AUIC, Date Range and Rpt Owner.

Mission Critical
Yes, PAs need the ability to easily find reports that were generated more than 24 hours ago.

Benefits
This would greatly reduce the time it takes to find a report and it will reduce the need for duplicate report generation, i.e. Inventories.  The system is storing the data but it’s of no use to those that need it because there are too many pages of reports to find the report that’s needed.

Users
Yes, this will affect all PAs, which is all users within FF-GEIT.

01599 Appointment Inquiry Warehouse USMC: CSP Done

Description
Currently when a clerk begins an Issue or return transaction and backs out of that  transaction without canceling the Issue or Return transaction this transaction will sit in the Appointment Inquiry as In Process which is making it difficult to get a good accurate service time report.

Recommended
Recommend that when an Issue or Return transaction has been sitting in process for 24 Hrs it is automatically canceled.

Mission Critical
Yes, having this functionality will help with the viewing of what is truly in process and what has been completed.  This will also help with proper metrics that are needed on a monthly basis.

Benefits
Having this functionality will help with the accuracy reporting of service time metrics.

Users
Yes All.

01598 Army Condition Codes Warehouse Army: ASA(ALT) Done

Description
When in the Warehouse module,the user is unable to choose the appropriate Army condition code (Army Policy AR 725-50) to show the inventory control record the physical state of the materiel.

Recommended
Include the additional Army condition codes (see encl) in the drop down menu.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical, Army customers process hundreds of transactions daily in DPAS, without this process it hinders the ability for the customer to properly show the condiction of the materiel they are actioning; current state they are misapplying condition codes based on lack of Army condition codes.

Benefits
Adding the Army condition codes will allow us to appropriately validate the materiel while improving accuracy, and accountability aligned to audit. This would also improve internal controls and stream line items affecting Army logistics business processes.

Users
This would affect all the ASA ALT community -- users in DPAS (WM).

01597 Transition Ad Hoc Move from HHT to Web Page Enterprise Leidos Done

Description
DPAS's Handheld Terminal (HHT) executive software is no longer supported by the vendor, thus the devices can no longer be connected to the DoD network. This does not alleviate the functions of the DPAS programs, but rather results in performing these functions manually rather than using AIT automation. This SCR is proposing to transition the Ad Hoc move functionality that resides within the DPAS application to a web application enabling the user to use any approved device that is capable of hosting a DPAS session.

Recommended
Develop a web page(s) that provides the capability to move an asset from one location to another or from a location into a container, or from a container to a location by scanning of asset/materiel, location and container labels. Consideration should also be given to supporting pRFID as a read methodology, and supporting planned picks.

Mission Critical
Yes, without this capability, there is an increased manpower requirement that cannot be fulfilled.

Benefits
Reduced manpower through automated scans, and improves accuracy.

Users
All users who move inventory.

01596 Utilize Agency-Defined Field - Local Equipment ID MU AF: SEMIS Removed

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.

25 Sept 2020 – cancelled per Luther J. Meitzner
Utilizing the DoD Serial Number to fill that purpose.

01595 Asset Location and Sub-location Updates PA AF: GEIT New

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.
