Transmit Acquisition and Valuation Information To Gaining Activity

Submitted 09/15/2023

Description:

DoD issued DLMS change 1415 data May 11, 2023 that provides for the transmitting of acquisition and valuation data to the gaining activity utilizing the DLMS 536R Acquisition and Valuation transaction set. DoD Components are required to record and maintain the following data elements in their respective APSRs as stated in DoDI 5000.64 (Reference 10.a.) and DoD Manual 4140.01, Volume 11 (Reference 10.c.). All data elements required under reference 10.a.
and 10.c. are available in the new DLMS 536R IC.

Recommended:

When DPAS performs an external transfer, in addition to creating / transmitting the DLMS 856S shipment status, it should create and transmit the DLMS 536R Acquisition and Valuation containing the key data elements required by DoDI 5000.64 and DoD Manual 4140.01, Volume 11. DPAS must be modified to accept the new DLMS 536R transactions set for transfers that are to DPAS based organization using the data to populate the fields as outlined in DoDI 5000.64 (Reference 10.a.) and DoD Manual 4140.01, Volume 11 (Reference 10.c.).

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 9pm 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.
