Description:
Currently the application of a Transportation Account Code (TAC) as part of the transfer, disposition or shipment within ELMS is a manual input. Additionally the system does not provide a report capability that provides status of a pending shipment that might have a shipment hold code assigned due to validation error.
Recommended:
Establish web service connection with the Logistics Tool Suite (LTS) tool to perform a pre-shipment funding validation where proper TAC assignment is determined and then applied to the shipping document. Request notification to the TAC owner, Item Manager and Shipping activity if the validation results in an error. Additionally establish a Shipment hold code 'S' as outlined in ADC 1206, issued on 27 Jul 2016. Produce a report of pending, suspended or frustrated shipments that include the Shipment document number, Transportation Control Number, Shipment hold code, Stock number, and shipping activity. Report tier filter options at all levels, Agency, Site, AUIC, and UIC.
