DPAS SCR: 01297

Add City State Location Table Update

Submitted: 20 JUNE 2018

Description
Navy is undergoing FIAR audit. Auditors are asking for the city and state be added to asset universe reports to better define the actual physical address location of an asset. Navy Major Commands and their subordinate UIC's are manually adding city and state to asset reports for reporting to the audit community which is a heavy lift burden. Navy has a need to have City and State added to the Location table in order for CPO's and APO's to better account for and report asset physical address location for audit purposes. Navy needs a system wide solution instead of using a combination of manual workarounds.

Recommended
Recommend City and State Fields be added to the Location Table and make these fields mandatory entries when adding or updating locations. There maybe other solutions that are available that are not considered and Navy is willing to discuss those options. Also need City and State added as fields to the Inquiry/ Asset Management / Asset and Master Data/ Location modules for reporting purposes.

Mission Critical
Mandated. This SCR is a result of the DOD FIAR Audit efforts. Auditors are requiring BSO's to add City and State field to the Asset Universe Reports to identify actual physical address of the asset.

Benefits
Adding these fields will add visibility of the actual physical address location of an asset relative to inventory and financial accountability.

Users
Would affect any users of the Property Accountability module DoD wide.

The DPAS Program Management Office is proud to announce the name of the system will undergo a re-branding. The system that you have used for many years has grown into more than a Property Accountability system and is now being used by organizations outside of the Defense Department. To account for all capabilities within the system, the team has renamed the system to the Enterprise Logistics Management System (ELMS). Please bear with us as we update the support webpage and the training material over time. The update to the system is scheduled to be completed by Release 2025.2.4, which will deploy to the Production environment on 16 May.

The DPAS eLearning (including the IO upload center) and DPAS Support websites will be unavailable beginning Friday, May16th at 5pm ET, until Sunday May 18th 9pm ET due to the ELMS rebranding. Please plan accordingly. If you need assistance during this time, please contact the DPAS/ELMS Helpdesk at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Please note that as of Monday, May 5th, the URL for the SAT environment has changed to https://stage.elms.dla.mil - to stress, this is for the ELMS SAT environment, NOT the ELMS Production environment. We will post a separate message for the Production URL change when it becomes applicable.

Please note that as of Sunday, May 18th , the URL for the live Production environment will be changing due to the ELMS name rebranding process. The change is stated to take place at 0900 Sunday morning. The new URL for ELMS Production will become: https://prod.elms.dla.mil
