01542 Interface with Navy ERP Warehouse USMC: DMC Done

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.

01541 Reporting CICP Transactions to GFP Module Warehouse AF: Other {GFM-A} New

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.

01540 AFWay/DPAS Interface via GEX PA AF: GEIT Done

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.

01539 Serial Number Sorting in DPAS PA AF: GEIT New

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.

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 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.

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.

Mission Critical
This is mandated by FISCAM audit.  Inventory must be verified against last annual inventory date. 

Benefits
This improves accountability and audit readiness of DPAS.  

Users
All IIF & UIF.  All services and entities required to undergo FISCAM audits would benefit from this SCR.
