Description
A closed Dispatch cannot add/update Job Order Nbr.  Job Order Number Browser opens but will not allow you to select a Job Order Nbr. 

Recommended
Either allow a closed Dispatch to be updated to assign a Job Order Nbr and capture reimbursable cost or reopen a dispatch to make corrections and then close. 

Mission Critical
Critical to capture all reimbursable transactions that may not have been identified as reimbursable at time of Issue or Closure.

Benefits
Accurate tracking to reimbursable cost when using DPAS solely as the cost generator.

Users
Only those considered Resource Managers who control Fleet Budget.

Description
Materiel Control technicians need to be aware of all open items that require their attention. Currently, not all Inspection Types display as Open Warehouse Actions on the Message of the Day dashboard. Also, the ICN Inventory inquiry does not display previous and upcoming inspection dates for all Inspection Types.

Recommended
Currently, the DPAS Warehouse only displays upcoming and open inspections with a "INSPECTION" action code. This capability needs to be extend to the rest of the Inspection Actions (cannibalization, inspections, Quality Control, Maintenance, Test, Calibration, Other, Assessment). Additionally, Warehouse Inventory Inquiries only display date information for "Inspection", "Test", "Calibration", and "Maintenance" Inspection Actions. This feature also needs to be implemented for the rest of the Inspection Actions.

Mission Critical
AFI 24-302, 5.41.2.6. Materiel Control ensures Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) tools are scheduled for calibration and certification according to TO 00-20-14-WA-1. Use a visual display board or computer-generated listing to keep the current status of all TMDE requiring calibration.

Benefits
Displaying all items requiring user action under Message of the Day will allow better management of warehouse operations and prevent any overdue calibrations/tests. Inventory inquiries with all previous and upcoming inspections will help meet AFI requirement.

Users
The entire Air Force component and other services will benefit from having better visibility of all items requiring user action and from having an inventory that displays inspection information for all Inspection Types.

Description
The DPAS Warehouse Module does not have an inquiry that displays on-hand quantities and includes replenishment parameters. A listing with this information is necessary to monitor stock levels.

Recommended
Recommend adding inquiry that displays ICN inventory data for assets with replenishment parameters or add option to filter the ICN Inventory inquiry to replenishment items only. This new or upgraded inquiry needs to display replenishment parameters & inventory information.

Mission Critical
AFI 24-302 mandates Materiel Control to monitor stock items to ensure correct prices are maintained and to adjust replenishment parameters based on demand. Materiel Control also needs to monitor shelf-life data to replenish expiring stock items.

Benefits
The ability to monitor stock levels for replenishment items will ensure availability of essential items reducing vehicle downtime.

Users
The entire Air Force component as well as other services will benefit from having the ability to analyze and compare on-hand quantities against replenishment parameters.

As additional capabilities have already been added since we submitted this SCR earlier.

Description
Air Force VM users are required to add new part numbers (Stock Numbers) to the catalog on a daily basis due to the diversity of our vehicle fleet. This loading process can be very tedious and time consuming for the end user.

Recommended
We recommend creating a role for enterprise level entities and give them the capability to  mass upload Stock Numbers/Stock Items. Personnel with this access will receive requests from lower level users and validate/manage upload requests entered into the system.

Mission Critical
AFI 24-302 mandates the 441 VSCOS to streamline the data upload process, request engineering assistance to resolve technical constraints, engineer products and, technical processes needed for management of vehicles.

Benefits
This capability will save countless end user man-hours along with improving data accuracy.

Users
The entire Air Force component, as well as other services, will benefit from having this mass upload capabilities.

Description
Asset records in "pending transfer" show up on both losing and gaining custodian inventory reports

Recommended
Remove assets pending transfer from inventory reports, however, ensure assets pending approval are retained.  Create a separate report to identify assets pending transfer.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical due to custodians refusing to sign inventories for assets they're no longer in possession of.

Benefits
Improves accountability

Users
yes

Description
To generate reports necessary for FIAR reporting and general inquiries the CAGE cd, Installation Code (Instl Cd) and Major Command (Major Cmd Cd) are needed in the Asset Inquiry selection table.

Recommended
Add CAGE cd, Installation Code (Instl Cd) and Major Command (Major Cmd Cd) to the Asset Inquiry selection table.

Mission Critical
Yes.  As Air Force Equipment Control Officers, these fields are needed when building, grouping, and sorting reports.

Benefits
Enables users to create reports tailored to certain functions of AF IT Asset Management.

Users
Yes, all users within FF-GEIT will require these fields when performing asset inquiries.  they are available on other inquiry screens, but not this one.

Description
AFWay and DPAS have an interface established to sync data for Equipment Custodian Numbers, DODAAC and UIC information.  The initial information DPAS is providing during the nightly sync does not include Custodian Numbers necessary for AFWay to support the Air Force Approval Process.  The original request was to have the DODAAC and UIC only provided through a nightly sync from DPAS and through testing AFWay identified the need for the Custodian Numbers.

Recommended
Add Custodian Numbers field and the association to the DODAAC and UIC to the nightly sync.

Mission Critical
Yes.  Mandatory Use policy AFMAN 12-1703 mandates Air Force purchase ALL IT products  through AFWay. 

Benefits
Enables AFWay compliance with AFMAN 12-1703, ensuring the continuation of Air Force approval processes.

Users
This affects approximately 60K AFWay customers and will cause work stoppage of over 4,500 Air Force Request for Quotes and 1,800 Orders on average every quarter in AFWay.

Completed – Release 2020.1.2 – 17 April 2020

Description
DAI has requested that DPAS review its validation of Trading Partner (TP) data within its Accounting Transactions.  They are seeing some transactions that they believe should contain TP data, but do not.  Note:  They could be old transactions as their review encompassed a large time period. They are also receiving Accounting Transactions where the TP data is not valid.  They would like to see DPAS implement additional validation for TP data.  Currently DPAS is only validating the Department Cd allowing the user to type in the Main Account and Limit with only validation that it be 4 characters.

Recommended
DPAS feeds several Accounting Systems that require TP2, TP4, and TP5 data.  DAI and SABRS are two notable interfaces, but there could be others as the DAI interface is considered the current std for new accounting interfaces.  It is recommended that DPAS establish master lookup tables for TP4 (Basic Symbol / Main Account) and TP5 (Subhead/Limit),in addition to the current Department Cd lookup and create associations between them.  The information to populate these lookup values is available from the DFAS Manual 7097.01, Treasury Website and/or from the DCMO Authoritative SFIS Values website. For Non-097 appropriation, the limit/subhead may not be required/applicable. It is also recommended that DPAS review the capture of TP data for all accounting systems regardless of whether that interface accepts the data. Even if the accounting interface does not support it, the user may be required to provide this information off-line.

Mission Critical
Yes - As the DoD continues to strive for FIAR compliance, accurate reporting of PP&E financial activity is essential.

Benefits
Improves financial reporting accuracy, and reduces the time required to input the data.

Users
Yes

Mission Critical
Could be an audit discrepancy

Benefits
improves accuracy
