Description
AF GFM-A team has reviewed the current list of DPAS user roles and none of the current DPAS roles meet our requirements. 

Recommended
Request establishment of new user role for AF GFM-A Warehouse module users to meet AF GFM-A needs.  We recommend naming the new role - GFM-A Account Manager.  Also, training needs to be built to correspond to this new role.  See the attached DPAS User Role form for requested Pgm IDs for this role and training.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical.  The new user role is necessary to enter transactions and the training is mandated to perform user role functions.

Benefits
The desired role (GFM-A Account Manager) does not currently exist in DPAS and implementation of this solution will meet the GFM-A needs which will focus on GFM-A requirements training for users to be FIAR compliant.

Users

Completed – Release 7.1 – 26 July 2019

Description
One of the FAST VLD Vehicle Type flags is Miles Per Gallon.  Would be a great check to have the MPG listed by the vehicle.

Recommended
On the DPAS FAST Outbound Report, the Vehicle Tab has a blank 'Comment' column.  FAST does not pull information from this column.  Would like DPAS to post calculated MPG from DPAS FYTD data for miles and fuel.

Mission Critical
Mission critical in data integrity to capturing erroneous entries monthly.

Benefits
Improves accuracy of data reported to FAST.  Reduces time determining vehicles with Flagged data.

Users
M&U Officer and M&U Dispatch Specialist for Fleet.

Description
Fuel measurement OCONUS is in Liters but needs to be reported in FAST as Gallons. Need the ability to identify assets that use Liters.

Recommended
As with Utilization Measure Code being changeable between Miles and Kilometers, Fuel Quantity needs to be as well between Gallons and Liters.

Mission Critical
Mission critical to overseas operations.

Benefits
Reduce conversion time to gallons for every entry and improve data reporting accuracy.

Users
All users serving OCONUS.

Description
Our agency has hand receipt holders, assigned as an additional duty.  The current Custodian roles available in DPAS are too privileged.

Recommended
Create a HRH Role, which has the ability to manage sub custodians.  The role should be able to create sub custodians and move property between the Major Custodian hand receipt and the Sub Custodians.

Mission Critical
This is considered mission critical for our agency. 

Benefits
This will allow us to distribute the workload to our hand receipt holders and allow them to manage sub hand receipts.  We can't use existing custodian roles because those allow other operations (transfer, disposal) that our hand receipt holders shouldn't perform.

Users
Only certain users

Description
The generated Inventory reports are editable PDFs.  This makes it possible for a hand receipt holder to possibly remove assets or change information on the report, without updating DPAS data.

Recommended
Add a digital signature field to the signature block on all Inventory reports, and secure the pdf document the same as you have done with the DD Form 200.  Allow printing, filling existing fields, and signing existing digital signature fields.  This could be an option when creating the form.

Mission Critical
Our leadership is concerned with this issue, and we need this capability.

Benefits
This will improve accuracy and accountability.  SIIs are monthly requirements - the field below doesn't allow me to answer "How frequently is this transaction performed by a user?"

Users
Most users in our agency are affected.

Description
We need to be able to upload a spreadsheet in to M & U of monthly utilization for each asset that is in M & U.  We need to save some time when inputting monthly utilization.  As we have almost 965 assets.  Inputting each one is very time consuming.  We would like to make it where a spreadsheet is utilized the same as PA module, where you can upload 500 assets at one time.

Recommended
Capability in M & U to upload utilization for assets by a spreadsheet for monthly requirements.

Mission Critical
this is not mission critical. 

Benefits
Reduces time/ cost.  Also would improve accuracy, due to the fact that a human is not key punching all the numbers, less chance of errors.  Accountability is improved by less chance of error.

Users
We believe it would benefit all users.  It would save a lot of time and there is less chance of making a mistake.

Description
The U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) is migrating to DPAS. Due to frequent squadron and duty status changes for Cadets, information within DPAS Member Profiles should be constantly synced with the Student Information System. Duty Status changes can impact what a Cadet may be issued at any given time. Therefore, updates to the Member Profile should occur on a daily basis.

Recommended
A DAAS-GEX automated File Transfer process established wherein USAFA can push Member Profile update files to the DPAS Member Profile table

Mission Critical
Mission Critical: The USAFA business model relies upon updated, accurate tracking of cadets and their associated sales charges throughout the life cycle of the cadet, from In-Processing through graduation. Without timely updates, Cadets may be improperly issued material and equipment if incorrect information is located in the Member Profile tables.

Benefits
Allows for accurate and timely updates of USAFA Cadet Information throughout cadet life cycle, pay deductions for DFAS/FM, and accountability for issued/sold items.

Users
This functionality will affect all users within the USAFA agency.

Completed – Release 7.1 – 26 July 2019

Description
LDAC is not receiving all assets from DPAS in the current  DPAS to LDAC UIT automated interface.  Currently only reportable items within the Property Book module are being sent to LDAC through this interface which is based upon the RICC.  If the RICC is 0, DPAS does not send any equipment on hand quantities or serial numbers to LDAC for asset and UIT reporting.  LDAC is also missing asset data from the other modules within DPAS to include the warehouse module, as well as internal DPAS transactions and external DPAS transactions.

Recommended

1. Remove the filtering of the RICC logic from the UIT interface so that DPAS can begin providing all assets within the property book module to LDAC regardless if they are coded in the catalog as being reportable
2. Provide LDAC the asset on hand quantities, serial numbers and UIIs from the DPAS warehouse module.
3. Provide the internal and external DPAS transactions to LDAC to support Asset Visibility, UIT and DST reporting.

Mission Critical
Mission critical -This causes a lack of visibility of assets and associated transactions and impacts both LDAC's high viability applications and data shared with trading partners.  Lack of visibility of all assets and transactions within all of DPAS's modules causes Department of Army to make decisions on Army authorizations and forecasting necessary future equipment purchases based on incomplete Equipment on hand data.  This issue also negatively impacts the Lead Materiel Integrator and equipment planners when making equipment moves to fill shortages and can cause unnecessary equipment moves, wasting both time and resources (Second Destination Transportation Costs). 

Benefits
Improves Accuracy, Accountability and Visibility of all assets and transactions. Provides a better asset picture to enable decision makers at all levels to make equipping decisions based on more accurate on hand numbers.

Users
