  Change Request: Process Improvement

   

   

  Description: 

  In the current Warehouse module, there is no functionality to add stock numbers that were not originally designated as Kits to the SKO Catalog. The existing rule set dictates that if any verified transactions—regardless of their state (open or closed)—exist for a stock number where it was treated as a normal end item, that stock number cannot later be designated as an SKO Header in the SKO Catalog.
  This restriction applies to all transaction types, including receiving transactions. For example, if assets were ever received into the Logistics Point (LP) under a stock number as normal end items, the act of receiving those assets permanently prevents that stock number from being converted into an SKO Header in the SKO Catalog, even if the inventory associated with that stock number is subsequently removed. This limitation ensures consistency in the system but may require additional planning when managing stock numbers intended for SKO use.

   

   

  Recommended: 

  Enable the capability to utilize previously used stock numbers, even those with historical records as assets categorized as end items, as SKO Headers within the SKO Catalog. This functionality would provide greater flexibility in managing stock numbers, allowing them to be repurposed for kitting processes while maintaining consistency and traceability in the system.
  
  

   

  Mission Critical: 

  Army Regulation (AR) 700-18: Covers logistics and supply chain management, including kitting processes.
  

  DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.88: Provides guidance on engineering and configuration management.

  MIL-STD-973: Establishes standards for configuration management across DoD programs.

   

   

  Benefits: 

  Reducing this limitation enhances system flexibility while maintaining consistency, allowing users to fully meet the intent of various kitting functionalities. This improvement supports diverse configurations within the SKO process, enabling more efficient management and adaptation to evolving operational requirements.
