System Change Details

 

Accounting

01282 - Operating Target (OPTAR) Add/Update User Interface - Materiel Management Module - Release to Production

Module: Accounting
What Changed:
 
 
 
 
To support the enterprise Requisition processes in DPAS, Operating Target (OPTAR) Add/Update is added to the Materiel Management/Inventory Control Point module. The process allows the user with the Financial Manager role to add and update OPTARs that are used for financial obligations. An OPTAR is selected for non-free issue requisitions to track funds used for a specific budget. 
 
Image
Image
 
Image
The Originating Problem:
Requisition processes in DPAS require the ability to associate an OPTAR for financial obligation and commitment reporting. OPTARs must first be added in the ICP for use in a requisition.

Impact:
The Financial Manager role now has access to add and update OPTARs. Certain users without the Financial Manager role have read-only access to OPTARs. 

01964 - Cost Center AUD in Materiel Management/ICP Module - Release to Production

Module: Accounting
What Changed:
 
 
 
 
 
A Cost Center Add/Update/Delete (AUD) process is added to the Materiel Management/Inventory Control Point (MM/ICP) module as part of the enterprise accounting modernization effort. The process includes implementation of Organization Collections, groupings of financially-relevant data, to which Cost Centers will be associated. Cost centers will be added/updated/deleted at the ICP tier level from the master data menu. Imported Defense Accounting Interface (DAI) cost centers will also be available for any agency that will use DAI for its accounting management in this module in the future.

The Originating Problem:
The MM/ICP module does not currently have the Cost Center AUD processes. For enterprise accounting, cost centers must be available for agencies to apply a designated cost center to each accounting transaction as needed. 
 
Image
 
Impact:
The Financial Manager role now has access to add, update, and delete a Cost Center, and certain users without the Financial Manager role have read-only access to Cost Centers. Agencies that will report financial transactions to DAI out of the MM/ICP module in the future will have the imported DAI cost centers available.

01964 - Organization Collection Update in Materiel Management/ICP Module

Module: Accounting
What Changed:
 
 
 
 
 
In the DPAS Materiel Management/Inventory Control Point (MM/ICP) module for Enterprise Accounting, the Organization Collection Update user interface was implemented to allow users with the Financial Manager role to update the name of the "generic" Collection, and when allowed, mark the Collection as inactive. 

Organization Collections are groupings of accounting-related, financially relevant, data attributes. They are associated to a tier (ICP, UIC). Currently, Cost Centers are linked to Organization Collections. There are two categories of Organization Collections: generic collections and Defense Accounting Interface (DAI) collections. A generic Organization Collection exists for each ICP. Additionally, ICPs with a managed DoDAAC associated to an Agency Cd/Major Command Cd that will import DAI data will also have a DAI Organization Collection available for its DAI accounting management in the future. Certain users can view all the available Organization Collections in the Organization Collection Update user interface. 
 
Image
 
Image
 
The Originating Problem:
There was no Organization Collection for grouping of financially relevant data.

Impact:
The user with the Financial Manager role in the MM/ICP module now has Update access to the generic Organization Collection.  Other certain users have read-only access.
 

01967 - Implement Re-add functionality for previously deleted DPAS.acct.appropriation records

Module: Accounting
What Changed:
 
 
 
An Appropriation record that was previously deleted in the Materiel Management/Inventory Control Point (MM/ICP) module can now be restored. When adding a previously deleted appropriation record, a pop-up confirmation with the following message appears, "This appropriation was previously deleted. If you would like to re-add it, select the 'Add' button, otherwise, select 'Cancel'"
The Originating Problem:
The previously deleted appropriations were unable to be restored. 
 
Impact:
Previously deleted appropriation records can now be restored.
 

Enterprise

01282 - Requisition / ICP Accounting Updates (DAI)

Module: Enterprise
What Changed:
 
 
 
There are new accounting fields added to the Requisition Screen that appear when the Signal Code selected is anything other than a Free Issue.
 
Image
The Originating Problem:
The audit trail needed to improve to ensure Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) compliance.

Impact:
These new fields allow Accounting information to be stored.

01961 - Catalog Data LIMS-EV Additions

Module: Enterprise
 
What Changed:
 
Additional fields are added to the Logistics Installations and Mission Support - Enterprise View (LIMS-EV) extract.

The Originating Problem:
The LIMS-EV extract was missing data that was required by the customer.

Impact:
The LIMS-EV extract now contains more data.

01961 - WPHRI08 - MU Data LIMS-EV Additions

Module: Enterprise
What Changed:
 
 
Additional fields are added to the Logistics Installations and Mission Support - Enterprise View (LIMS-EV) extract.

The Originating Problem:
The LIMS-EV extract was missing data that was required by the customer.

Impact:
Additional fields are added to the Logistics Installations and Mission Support - Enterprise View (LIMS-EV) extract.

Maintenance

01961 - PA Data LIMS-EV Additions

Module: Maintenance
 
What Changed:
 
Additional fields are added to the Logistics Installations and Mission Support - Enterprise View (LIMS-EV) extract.

The Originating Problem:

Impact:
The LIMS-EV extract now contains more data.

Security

Module: Security
 
What Changed: 
The Help Desk is upgraded to .NET 8; .NET 8 has a targeted end-of-life date of November 10, 2026. 
 
The Originating Problem: 
Microsoft has announced the end-of-life for .NET 6 as November 12, 2024.
 
Impact:
No impact to the user should be observed.

Warehouse

01976 - DPAS .NET 8 Update / Upgrade Property Book microservice to .NET 8

Module: Warehouse
 
01976 - DPAS .NET 8 Update / Upgrade Property Book to .NET 8

The Originating Problem: 
Microsoft has announced the end-of-life for .NET 6 as November 12, 2024.
 
Impact:
No impact to the user should be observed.

01984 - Asset ID for Inventory Related Inquiries

Module: Warehouse
What changed:
The Asset ID column has been added to all Inventory related Inquiry grids.
 
The Originating Problem:
Warehouses that track inventory by Asset Identifier, instead of the Inventory Control Number (ICN) , do not have the information to do research on their assets.

Impact:
The Asset ID value is available in Inquiries as an Optional Column.

02045 - External ICP 846R without Project Code / 846R EOD Configurable Option

Module: Warehouse
What Changed:
A new option is now available for the 846R End Of Day (EOD) transactions for external MM/ICP only.

The Originating Problem:
Currently the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is not designed to summarize Remote Storage Activity (RSA) generated Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) 846R transaction sets to the level the inventory is managed by Navy ERP.
Thus the inventory totals for items that do contain a project code that DPAS is reporting, do not match the inventory totals that Navy ERP has.

Impact:
For Navy-ERP, the end of day inventory reporting balance are grouped without the "Project Code".
For all other External MM/ICP, reportable inventory transactions now includes the "Project Code."
This is a background job which sends end of day inventory transactions.
 

02045 - External ICP 846R without Project Code / Additional version of 846R EOD without project code grouping

Module: Warehouse
02045 / Create additional version of 846R EOD without project code grouping 
 
What Changed:
There is now a new version of the 846R End Of Day (EOD) transaction that does not include the Project Cd in its grouping.
The Business key will be: RSA, Stock Nbr and Condition Cd. 

The Originating Problem:
Currently Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is not designed to summarize Remote Storage Activity (RSA) generated Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) 846R transaction sets to the level the inventory is managed by Navy ERP.
 

Impact:
For Navy-ERP, the end of day inventory reporting balance is grouped without the "Project Cd".
This is a background job which sends end of day inventory transactions.
