Description:
ELMS, the USSOCOM Accountable Property System of Record, can retrieve catalog data from from FLIS and AESIP and is unable to pull catalog data including Non-Standard SOF Control Numbers from the USSOCOM Special Operations Logistics Management System (SOLMAN). The inability to automatically feed the catalog data into ELMS as part of a feed from SOLMAN requires USSOCOM Cataloger personnel to manually input catalog data records manually into ELMS PA, ELMS warehouse, and to provide a data update to NSW for their use in the NSW Warehouse Logistics Program
Recommended:
Implement a system change for ELMS to automatically ingest and regularly synchronize with the authoritative USSOCOM catalog resident in the SOLMAN system. This data will load across the USSOCOM ELMS Enterprise. Provide a shared data feed to the NSW Logistics Program (LP). For NSW, provide the feed in the manner of the current FLIS capability, do not ingest the catalog to the NSW LP automatically.
This will allow the USSOCOM catalogers to build the master record once in SOLMAN, eliminating the requirement to then add the record again to ELMS. This also allows NSW to always match the USSOCOM master records which allows for accurate transactions between the two LP's. For NSW, this will give their ELMS users the ability to manually add the records as they need them.
Benefits:
Implementing this solution will streamline the cataloging process for USSOCOM into ELMS since USSOCOM is the cataloging authority for SOF unique stock numbers, reducing the amount of time the same catalog data is manually input across SOF systems. For NSW this gives the LP Catalogers the ability to pull in SOF Stock Numbers only as they need them. The data they pull in will always match the USSOCOM Master Catalog repository. This removes data mismatches between the two instances (LP's) of ELMS in the SOF Community.

Users:
Users impacted on a daily basis - currently 14 people that have ability to catalog at higher level. This number will grow as USSOCOM expands use of ELMS at the tactical level in AFSOC and NSW.
