01536 Manage SKO ability to correct ICN information during a QC Warehouse AF: AFERMS Done

Description
We can QC/QA/Inspection an item that is ready for a relook, but cannot use SKO Manage to update components that were found incorrect during the QC. We can use the SKO Manage to change out an item as it brings up part of the ICN information. But if there is a narrative that documentation is incorrect, you have to go to inventory manager and remove the item, edit the information, reinstall the item, then go back to QC to put corrective action in, but can't because inventory can't be found error pops. At this point a help ticket is put in so a script can be run to fix the error.

01535 Physical Inventory Inquiry Warehouse USMC: CSP Done

Description
Currently it is very difficult to locate the last Table of Authorized Material Control Number (TAMCN) or Stock Number inventory date.   Unless the user has manually recorded the Physical Inventory number for every TAMCN and Stock Number as they complete,  there is no simple way to locate that information within DPAS.  As part of our annual FISCAM audit process, the auditors request of the last inventory dates of selected TAMCN and stock numbers.   Without this capability, it is very difficult to meet this audit requirement. 

Recommended
Recommending that a Physical Inventory Inquiry by enterprise level be created to make researching when the required physical inventories were conducted on TAMN's and Stock Numbers.  At a minimum this inquiry should have the following columns: Logistics Program, Region, Site, Warehouse, TAMN, Stock Number, Item Description, Physical Inventory Number, Expected Qty, Counted Qty, Difference Qty, Date of Inventory, User ID.  If the physical inventory required that an Inventory reconciliation to be conducted, then the Inventory reconciliation document number, the date of the reconciliation and user id should also be included in the query.

Benefits
This improves accountability and audit readiness of DPAS.

01534 Additional Search fields and viewable for Inquiries Enterprise AF: VSCOS New

Description
When doing Enterprise wide inquiries on Work Orders & Sub Work Orders not all information inputted into these are viewable or search-able by using the fields tab when setting up an Inquiry. Having to piecemeal a report together between multiple inquiries in an effort to generate required information is not taking advantage of the system capabilities and time consuming. Also, when trying to view work order inquiries for the entire Agency the Inquiry will time out (looking for too much information). This is unacceptable for Enterprise Vehicle Management.

Recommended
Add "Last Updated By" & "Work Order Status Cd" choices under the "Available Fields(s)" Search (build) area of Work Order and Work Order-Asset Inquires. Also, add "Return Dt" & "Work Order Est Service End Dt" to the "Fields" area will greatly enhance Enterprise Inquires and allow the system to look for a more refined Inquiry and not time out due to all the data it is looking for.

Mission Critical
This is critical.  Fleet managers count on viewing information to be able to make informed decisions to manage Air Force fleets around the globe to make informed/sound vehicle management decisions.

Benefits
Allowing all fields of a Work order to be viewed in all Inquiries will enhance reports and inquiries for all. Enabling user to search and build reports on any data fields available within the work- order and sub/worker.

01532 Centralized Work Order Creation MU AF: SPT EQUIP Done

Description
Currently, work orders can only be opened by individuals assigned to a specific Mx Activity.  This works well for day to day operations however, as an entity, the Air Force continues to centralize operations in an effort to standardize business practices. We are requesting a feature that will allow a mass work order generation that will span all affected Mx Activities across an entire Site ID. 

Recommended
When opening an instance of a work order utilizing Stock Number and/or CAGE Cd and/or Asset ID criteria, we would like a feature that will allow that work order to be generated  across all affected Mx Activities within a Site ID.  Also, we would like for the Work order Reason Cd, Work Order description, Work Plan Type Cd and Requested Service field to be locked down once we create a centralized work order.  This is especially important for TCTO, Service Bulletin and One-time inspection work orders.  Allowing individual users across 350+ Mx Activities to create or update these work orders, results in missed compliance suspense's and degrades reporting/analysis actions.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical.  Allowing individual users across 350+ Mx Activities to input specific information, especially for TCTO, Service Bulletin and One-time Inspection actions results in severely degraded data integrity and reporting. This directly affects the safety of equipment and the personnel utilizing that equipment.

Benefits
Improves accuracy of status reporting of support equipment for AF readiness reporting and program office sustainment planning.  Eliminates questionable status for users of the equipment.

Users
This SCR directly applies to the business practices that 441 VSCOS also wishing to implement for work order creation as well.  Additionally, this will benefit all DoD entities that are moving toward more centralized operations.
