Description
ASA ALT and USSOCOM have contractor operated warehouse facilities, similar to USMC Consolidated Storage Program.  As such, the contractor is permitted to do many things, but one thing they are not permitted to do is to "obligate the government".  Accepting newly procured government materiel is one of those functions that is inherently a government function, as it could result in the government being obligated to pay the vendor for services rendered.  The "Warehouse" Receipt  Acceptance action may be perceived as a government responsibility.  As such, there should be 'controls' within DPAS that permit the Acceptance action to be separately controlled from the Receipt and Verify actions within Receiving and Quality Control processes. 

Recommended
Establish a new Role or optional two-part step for Material Acceptance for newly acquired government property, since this solution is not required in non-GOCO facilities.  Modify the Receiving and Quality Control processes to establish that newly acquired Government Material  "Acceptance" actions are Role Specific. This would mirror Government Acceptance steps for Government Acceptance of Material found in the DD Form 250 Material Inspection and receiving report. By controlling the Acceptance Step action by role, the organization can ensure that only authorized individuals can perform the acceptance step on behalf of the government.   Objective: Use WAWF acceptance/rejection transactions to inform available action options in DPAS.  For example, grey out the "Acceptance" button in DPAS until the WAWF transaction for acceptance has been completed by the government, thereby ensuring no materiel is "accepted" into the inventory until after government acceptance/vendor payment has occurred.

Mission Critical
Mission critical to the PEO-SOFSA (Lexington) DPAS Warehouse implementation, which will begin in FY19.

Benefits
Enables inherently governmental work to be accomplished by proper government civilians.  Speeds up receipt, QC and acceptance within DPAS so that it will not negatively affect performance of CTRs in GOCO facility. 

Users
All GOCO users.

Completed – Release 2020.1 – 6 March 2020

Description
When receiving assets into DPAS from a non-DPAS user (either from an alternative Service supply system or a vendor), each serial number has to be entered one at a time into the verified grid, since the DD1348 does not have a 2D barcode.  This is a time-intensive and error-prone process.

Recommended
Allow the users to utilize a self-conversion excel for receiving mass quantities (over 100) into the Warehouse for receipts from non-DPAS users. Self conversion .xls should include all data elements of the DD1348, such as stock number, serial number, condition code, acquisition value, and acquisition date.

Mission Critical
Mission Critical

Benefits
This will allow the depots/warehouses that receive mass quantities to receipt assets at a much faster pace.

Users
ALL  users in DPAS.

Description
Currently, mass mileage can be uploaded via GSA Fleet file upload and DLA Fuel upload.  GSA upload will update fuel usage as well as mileage.  DLA will update fuel but no miles;  however the odometer field is still mandatory for the system to accept the file.  The issue is both GSA and DLA mileage inputs by users at the pumps are mostly incorrect (i.e. people make up numbers or use the tenth of a mile on the odometer; 1600.9 miles becomes 16009).
Our Fleet Management and Analysis section needs to be able to collect and verify all mileage updates before loading into DPAS. 

Recommended
Separate the mileage mandate from the current GSA/DLA fuel upload capability.  Create a bulk upload template for both GSA an DLA fuel uploads.  For ease of upload, suggest utilizing current GSA bulk mileage upload spreadsheet that exists in the GSA Fleet Drive-thru website.  Create a similar type mass upload sheet for DLA mileage uploads.

Mission Critical
This is a mission critical change.  Incorrect mileage can send scheduled maintenance dates well out of range as well as affect both vehicle End of Life and Priority Buy models. Both are key to the Air Force vehicle fleet replacement placement. 

Benefits
This feature will reduce the time it takes to input hundreds of mileage updates one by one as well as increase the accuracy of the data being entered. Our fleet has 83K assets, to have our FMIS be able improve fuel reporting efficiency and accuracy is vital to day to day mission success.

Users
All Air Force Fleet Managers/Maintenance controllers and Material specialists utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.  

21Feb2025 – cancelled per Luther Meitzner

Description
For the AF 85-90% of vehicle parts are purchased commercially off-the-shelf. DLA/USAF supply is scarcely used. Warehouse does not allow for (commercial) similar/duplicate part numbers from different manufacturers, which poses a challenge for 303 warehouses globally to operate from one Logistics Program (LP) catalog. It is very time consuming loading single part numbers with 26 data points.

Recommended
Need capability to load duplicate (commercial) part numbers with different descriptions in the LP. Eliminate unnecessary data points when loading a part number. When loading NSN or part number from LP to warehouse catalog, disassociate selected number from LP for warehouse to manage as needed.  

Mission Critical
It is mission critical and is mandated

Benefits
Process will expand parts catalog capability and allow future changes as new models of vehicles & vehicular equipment are introduced to the USAF vehicle fleet.

Users
This option would benefit all M/U and Warehouse users.

25 January 2023 – cancelled per Tim Thompson
SCR fulfilled with SCR 01758

Description
Currently, there is not a way for a user to back up data that has been inputted into DPAS M&U and are still trying to complete the transaction, before their 15 minute time is up. So any data inputted before clicking update is lost, and is very time consuming to re-enter. Especially, if the Work Order has numerous Sub Work Orders.

Recommended
The ability to have DPAS M&U auto save (like Word Docs) every 10 min would be a great add on to the program. This will ensure that users have time to input information or make updates without worrying that they don't have time, and make a mistake or if they get called away mid-transaction. Also, the fleet management personnel might have to stop mid way during the profiling, utilization update or work order process to retrieve additional information.

Mission Critical
This is critical, this will give adequate time for the user to input data accurately and without concern of losing information already inputted. Currently, the inability to save data is not user friendly to daily operations.

Benefits
This would benefit users (having the security of not losing data); increasing productivity and maintenance leadership getting the most accurate and up to date maintenance information of assets in maintenance in a timely manner.

Users
This SCR will affect the entire AF Agency, all fleet managers/maintenance controllers utilize up to date information for day to day fleet management purposes.  

21Feb2025 – cancelled per Luther Meitzner

Description
Material Control Officers usually work in different sections than personnel who request items from the M&U module and they need to be aware of any Maintenance Issue requests.

Recommended
Maintenance Issue Request from M&U should display in the Open Warehouse Actions and Message of the Day Dashboard.

Mission Critical
Materiel Control section is mandated per AFI 24-302 to "Initiate, monitor and follow up (as needed/required) on part requests".  Initiating this change will highlight pending parts requests.

Benefits
Displaying these requests in the open actions and message of the day dashboard will raise awareness and accelerate the purchase process.

Users
This change will have a beneficial impact on all users that purchase and issue parts along with personnel that request the parts.

Description
Vehicle maintenance personnel are required to pull inquiries that display items in multiple locations but within the same zone. Personnel with the 9090 role require access to this information and the ICN Inventory currently doesn't have an option to create an inquiry by zone.

Recommended
Add an option to pull an ICN Inventory by zone.

Mission Critical
Not mission critical or mandated.

Benefits
This change will allow all personnel to pull inquiries for daily functions that are organized by zones.

Users
This change will have a beneficial impact on all Warehouse users since it will enable them to access inventory listings for functions and processes that are organized by zones.

Description
DPAS will not allow the use of Work Plan Type Cd "INSP" more than once on a work order.  If a second sub work order is created with "INSP" an error message displays "2-Invalid entry: there is more than one INSP sub work order.  A work order can have at most one INSP sub work order"

Recommended
Allow multiple inspections to be inputted on more than one sub work order and/or create specific work plan type codes for "INCM/Incoming" and "OUTG/Outgoing" inspections.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical as many inspections such as incoming, outgoing quality control and visual inspections are mandated per AFI 24-302 and T.O. 36-1-191.

Benefits
Benefits of implementing this change will allow more accurate maintenance action classification reporting and fleet analysis.

Users
All Air Force fleet managers, maintenance controllers and material control specialists utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.  

10 April 2023 – Marked Complete per Tim Thompson
Completed as part of SCR 01634

Description
Currently, when an asset is due scheduled maintenance/inspection, a system generated work order will open up for each individual maintenance/inspection due.  As it stands right now, work plan(s) can be combined to one work order and the unneeded work order voided.  However, the voided work order still self generated as "due" the next day.

Recommended
Add feature to work order that will allow other system generated work orders to be combined and prevent another instance of the same maintenance/inspection from self generating again the next day.

Mission Critical
Yes.  The current configuration allows several work orders be open for the same asset leaving the open work orders screen clogged full of unnecessary "open" work orders and makes it difficult for vehicle managers to get an informed snap shot of what is currently open within the shop.

Benefits
The benefits of implementing this change will reduce the "clutter" within the open work order screen/open actions screen and provide a clearer site picture of what assets are actually down for maintenance.

Users
All fleet managers, maintenance controllers and materiel specialists utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.

Description
Warehouse needs SKO listing and inventory/inspection improvement to be IAW AFI 24-302 requirements and AF Vehicle Management (VM) common tool accountability and management practice. The SKO catalog list and inspection list must be the same.
ALSO
An addition to SCR 1334. Along with using toolboxes/Individual Tool Kit (ITK)/Composite Tool kit (CTK), the Vehicle Management (VM) community also uses containers/Mobility Spares Readiness Package(MRSP) and pallets for mobility purposes. Having multiple SKO catalog options would be ideal for VM facilities and other DoD DPAS users.

Recommended
Modify SKO catalog.  Units should have the ability to build toolbox or kits (SKO) with display order and drawer location.  See Attachment 3 (DW Form 01A) for recommended document appearance.
ALSO
We recommend removing current SKO option and adding the capabilities to select different types of SKO catalogs: ITK/CTK, MSRP and Pallet. Upon selecting add in the SKO Catalog screen, the system should ask which type of catalog the user is trying to create. All three options (ITK/CTK, MSRP and Pallet) will have the option to group items by compartments/drawers and still have the option for display order.

Mission Critical
It is mission critical and is mandated.
ALSO
IAW 24-302 5.37.6. Maintenance team leads or their designees perform and document accountability procedures for ITK/CTKs or tool cribs in accordance with local Vehicle Management Operation Procedures (VMOPs), or on a daily basis, to ensure accountability of assigned tools and to prevent Foreign Object Damage (FOD). (T-1). Written inventories are accomplished annually by Materiel Control, jointly with the technician.
5.37.15 Powered hand tools may be issued to CTKs, tool cribs or ITKs. Ensure they are accurately accounted for due to their high replacement cost.
5.39. Materiel Control sub-receipts ITKs to the technicians using itemized inventory listings.

Benefits
VM operations have SKOs with over 500 tools.  Having SKOs with display order and drawer location enables members/personnel to easily locate and inspect tools. 
ALSO
The option to have multiple SKO programs to catalog parts and tools for ITK/CTKs, MSRPs and Pallets will allow better accountability management and make the inventory process more efficient.

Users
This option would benefit all Warehouse users. See attached document for visual explanation
ALSO
Not only will the Air Force component benefit from this SCR but all DoD and Federal services using DPAS and the SKO function. The capability will allow better tool, parts, equipment management/accountability and increase inventory efficiency.
