Description
Catalog needs to cross-reference LIN/NSLIN and NSN/MCN for  authorized LIN/NSLINs when adding items to the accountable record. When an asset is receipted the LIN of the NSN of the asset is consistent but will allow substitutions based on approved substitution list and role.  During Receipt/Update/Transfer user should not be able to select LIN, LIN would default to proper LIN of NSN/MCN/Part. Keep Stock Number integrity with LIN including feed from SB 700-20 of LIN Substitutions Appendix H.  Alternate solution with keeping existing functionality create roles to limit Pending Receipt to specific roles, to use local due in for control, further testing by USASOC of functionality.

Description
The USMC is implementing Navy ERP to replace the Stock Control System (SCS) currently utilized by LOGCOM for Navy Working Capital assets.   DPAS-WM will still be the warehouse management tool for Navy ERP and will need to be able to interface with it. 

Recommended
Create an interface/ICD with Navy ERP.  Model will be similar to SCS. 

Mission Critical
Mission Critical.   Navy ERP does NOT manage at the serial number level (similar to SCS) and needs DPAS-WM for that capability. 

Benefits
It keeps LOGCOM and DPAS-WM in compliance with USMC policy on Navy ERP implementation. 

Users
Majority of Marine Forces Storage Command (MFSC) users will utilize this interface with Navy ERP. 

Marked Done - Change Request satisfied via other system updates per Rick McMillan 16 March 2023

Description
Air Force contractors are required to report Government Furnished Property (GFP) in their possession to the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Government Furnished Property (GFP) Module.  Air Force Contractor Inventory Control Points (CICPs) are also required to report logistics transactions to DPAS for accountability purposes.  Currently, the CICPs accomplish this via Swivel chair/dual entry to these systems. 

Recommended
M-A ‘Self-Service module’ (DPAS Warehouse module) to the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Government Furnished Property (GFP) Module. 

Mission Critical
Contractors are mandated to report Government Furnished Property (GFP) in their possession per DFARS 252.211-7007.

Benefits
Air Force contractors reporting the transactions to the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Government Furnished Property (GFP) module will eliminate swivel chair/dual entry and reduce the possibility of date entry errors.  In addition, elimination of dual entry will allow the Air Force program offices to avoid this cost.

Description
AFWay is unable to communicate with the DPAS "AFWay IT Custodian Access" web service.

Recommended
Update the process to provide the same information via DAAS Gex folders.  Data will be provided once daily via a scheduled job.  The output of which will be loaded to GEX for ftp to AFWay.

Mission Critical
The information that will be pulled from DPAS is critical to validate purchasing privileges within AFWay. This access management control is essential in ensuring only specific personnel may purchase IT assets from AFWay, the primary procurement vehicle for IT assets within the Air Force. The lack of a properly functioning interface between DPAS and AFWay inhibits the Air Force's ability to control IT spend across the enterprise.

Benefits
This solution will automate the process of consuming DPAS information into AFWay Database, which will save time, increase data accuracy, and increase asset accountability.

Users
This will affect all AFWay Users within and outside its (AFWay) component/agency. 

Completed – Release 2020.1.2 – 17 April 2020

Description
During recent transactions in DPAS, we found that assets do not come up in serial number order. This is causing issues when transferring of assets, especially if the transfer involves multiple assets, as you have to search through all of the assets listed under a custodian number to find the assets that need to be transferred. This is not just limited to transfers.

Currently, assets come up by stock number. Serial numbers and asset IDs are presented in no order. Having assets come up in serial number order will lessen the time it takes to process a transaction in DPAS and put less strain on manpower.

Recommended
Add the capability to sort assets throughout DPAS by Serial Number order.

Mission Critical
Yes.  Property Administrators are spending large amounts of time searching for serial #s throughout DPAS.  Having them in serial number order will simplify searching on DPAS screens by giving users a quick look in numeric order.

Benefits
Having assets come on screen in serial number order will simplify searching on DPAS screens by giving users a quick look in numeric order.  This will reduce the amount of time it takes a property administrator to find an asset on a screen.

Users
Yes, the ability to look at assets in serial number order will assist all users in navigating DPAS screens/functions.

Description
To perform Catalog Management tasks additional inquiry fields are needed in the field selection table under Inquires-Asset Management-Manufacturer/Asset. Propose adding "UIC" to selectable fields.

Recommended
Add "UIC" to select fields under Inquiries-Asset Management-Manufacturer/Asset.

Mission Critical
Yes.  As Air Force Equipment Control Officers (Catalog Managers), these fields are needed when building, grouping, and researching reports used for Catalog Management.  Catalog Managers cannot look up asset information by UIC to find users that are using erroneous catalog entries.

Benefits
Enables Catalog Managers to create reports tailored to performing research for cleaning up the current FF-GEIT catalog. Enables users to create reports tailored to key fields of data used to identify and sort assets within FF-GEIT.  Addition of the UIC field to the Asset Management-Manufacturer/Asset inquiry selectable fields will enhance accountability of 2.7M assets for over 900 equipment control officers maintaining asset readiness at over 300 locations world-wide.

Users
Yes, the ability to perform research for catalog updates/cleansing enables all DPAS users to select from verified catalog entries when complete.
