Catalog needs to cross-reference LIN/NSLIN and NSN/MCN for  authorized LIN/NSLINs when adding items to the accountable record. When an asset is receipted the LIN of the NSN of the asset is consistent but will allow substitutions based on approved substitution list and role.  During Receipt/Update/Transfer user should not be able to select LIN, LIN would default to proper LIN of NSN/MCN/Part. Keep Stock Number integrity with LIN including feed from SB 700-20 of LIN Substitutions Appendix H.  Alternate solution with keeping existing functionality create roles to limit Pending Receipt to specific roles, to use local due in for control, further testing by USASOC of functionality.

The USMC is implementing Navy ERP to replace the Stock Control System (SCS) currently utilized by LOGCOM for Navy Working Capital assets.   DPAS-WM will still be the warehouse management tool for Navy ERP and will need to be able to interface with it. 

Recommended
Create an interface/ICD with Navy ERP.  Model will be similar to SCS. 

Mission Critical
Mission Critical.   Navy ERP does NOT manage at the serial number level (similar to SCS) and needs DPAS-WM for that capability. 

Benefits
It keeps LOGCOM and DPAS-WM in compliance with USMC policy on Navy ERP implementation. 

Users
Majority of Marine Forces Storage Command (MFSC) users will utilize this interface with Navy ERP. 

Description
Air Force contractors are required to report Government Furnished Property (GFP) in their possession to the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Government Furnished Property (GFP) Module.  Air Force Contractor Inventory Control Points (CICPs) are also required to report logistics transactions to DPAS for accountability purposes.  Currently, the CICPs accomplish this via Swivel chair/dual entry to these systems. 

Recommended
M-A ‘Self-Service module’ (DPAS Warehouse module) to the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Government Furnished Property (GFP) Module. 

Mission Critical
Contractors are mandated to report Government Furnished Property (GFP) in their possession per DFARS 252.211-7007.

Benefits
Air Force contractors reporting the transactions to the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Government Furnished Property (GFP) module will eliminate swivel chair/dual entry and reduce the possibility of date entry errors.  In addition, elimination of dual entry will allow the Air Force program offices to avoid this cost.

Description
AFWay is unable to communicate with the DPAS "AFWay IT Custodian Access" web service.

Recommended
Update the process to provide the same information via DAAS Gex folders.  Data will be provided once daily via a scheduled job.  The output of which will be loaded to GEX for ftp to AFWay.

Mission Critical
The information that will be pulled from DPAS is critical to validate purchasing privileges within AFWay. This access management control is essential in ensuring only specific personnel may purchase IT assets from AFWay, the primary procurement vehicle for IT assets within the Air Force. The lack of a properly functioning interface between DPAS and AFWay inhibits the Air Force's ability to control IT spend across the enterprise.

Benefits
This solution will automate the process of consuming DPAS information into AFWay Database, which will save time, increase data accuracy, and increase asset accountability.

Users
This will affect all AFWay Users within and outside its (AFWay) component/agency. 

Description
During recent transactions in DPAS, we found that assets do not come up in serial number order. This is causing issues when transferring of assets, especially if the transfer involves multiple assets, as you have to search through all of the assets listed under a custodian number to find the assets that need to be transferred. This is not just limited to transfers.

Currently, assets come up by stock number. Serial numbers and asset IDs are presented in no order. Having assets come up in serial number order will lessen the time it takes to process a transaction in DPAS and put less strain on manpower.

Recommended
Add the capability to sort assets throughout DPAS by Serial Number order.

Mission Critical
Yes.  Property Administrators are spending large amounts of time searching for serial #s throughout DPAS.  Having them in serial number order will simplify searching on DPAS screens by giving users a quick look in numeric order.

Benefits
Having assets come on screen in serial number order will simplify searching on DPAS screens by giving users a quick look in numeric order.  This will reduce the amount of time it takes a property administrator to find an asset on a screen.

Users
Yes, the ability to look at assets in serial number order will assist all users in navigating DPAS screens/functions.

To perform Catalog Management tasks additional inquiry fields are needed in the field selection table under Inquires-Asset Management-Manufacturer/Asset. Propose adding "UIC" to selectable fields.

Recommended
Add "UIC" to select fields under Inquiries-Asset Management-Manufacturer/Asset.

Mission Critical
Yes.  As Air Force Equipment Control Officers (Catalog Managers), these fields are needed when building, grouping, and researching reports used for Catalog Management.  Catalog Managers cannot look up asset information by UIC to find users that are using erroneous catalog entries.

Benefits
Enables Catalog Managers to create reports tailored to performing research for cleaning up the current FF-GEIT catalog. Enables users to create reports tailored to key fields of data used to identify and sort assets within FF-GEIT.  Addition of the UIC field to the Asset Management-Manufacturer/Asset inquiry selectable fields will enhance accountability of 2.7M assets for over 900 equipment control officers maintaining asset readiness at over 300 locations world-wide.

Users
Yes, the ability to perform research for catalog updates/cleansing enables all DPAS users to select from verified catalog entries when complete.

Mission Critical
Yes.  As Air Force Equipment Control Officers and Base Equipment Control Officers, these fields are needed when building, grouping, and sorting reports.

Benefits
Enables users to create reports tailored to key fields of data used to identify and sort assets within FF-GEIT.  Addition of the Manufacturer Part Number field to the Asset Inquiry will enhance accountability of 2.7M assets for over 900 equipment control officers maintaining asset readiness at over 300 locations world-wide.

Users
Yes, all users within FF-GEIT will require these fields when performing asset inquiries.  They are available on other inquiry screens, but not this one.

Description
We can QC/QA/Inspection an item that is ready for a relook, but cannot use SKO Manage to update components that were found incorrect during the QC. We can use the SKO Manage to change out an item as it brings up part of the ICN information. But if there is a narrative that documentation is incorrect, you have to go to inventory manager and remove the item, edit the information, reinstall the item, then go back to QC to put corrective action in, but can't because inventory can't be found error pops. At this point a help ticket is put in so a script can be run to fix the error. 

Recommended
allow update of ICN information in SKO Manage block, see power point explaining

Description
Currently it is very difficult to locate the last Table of Authorized Material Control Number (TAMCN) or Stock Number inventory date.   Unless the user has manually recorded the Physical Inventory number for every TAMCN and Stock Number as they complete,  there is no simple way to locate that information within DPAS.  As part of our annual FISCAM audit process, the auditors request of the last inventory dates of selected TAMCN and stock numbers.   Without this capability, it is very difficult to meet this audit requirement. 

Recommended
Recommending that a Physical Inventory Inquiry by enterprise level be created to make researching when the required physical inventories were conducted on TAMN's and Stock Numbers.  At a minimum this inquiry should have the following columns: Logistics Program, Region, Site, Warehouse, TAMN, Stock Number, Item Description, Physical Inventory Number, Expected Qty, Counted Qty, Difference Qty, Date of Inventory, User ID.  If the physical inventory required that an Inventory reconciliation to be conducted, then the Inventory reconciliation document number, the date of the reconciliation and user id should also be included in the query.

Mission Critical
This is mandated by FISCAM audit.  Inventory must be verified against last annual inventory date. 

Benefits
This improves accountability and audit readiness of DPAS.  

Users
All IIF & UIF.  All services and entities required to undergo FISCAM audits would benefit from this SCR. 

Description
When doing Enterprise wide inquiries on Work Orders & Sub Work Orders not all information inputted into these are viewable or search-able by using the fields tab when setting up an Inquiry. Having to piecemeal a report together between multiple inquiries in an effort to generate required information is not taking advantage of the system capabilities and time consuming. Also, when trying to view work order inquiries for the entire Agency the Inquiry will time out (looking for too much information). This is unacceptable for Enterprise Vehicle Management.

Recommended
Add "Last Updated By" & "Work Order Status Cd" choices under the "Available Fields(s)" Search (build) area of Work Order and Work Order-Asset Inquires. Also, add "Return Dt" & "Work Order Est Service End Dt" to the "Fields" area will greatly enhance Enterprise Inquires and allow the system to look for a more refined Inquiry and not time out due to all the data it is looking for.

Mission Critical
This is critical.  Fleet managers count on viewing information to be able to make informed decisions to manage Air Force fleets around the globe to make informed/sound vehicle management decisions.

Benefits
Allowing all fields of a Work order to be viewed in all Inquiries will enhance reports and inquiries for all. Enabling user to search and build reports on any data fields available within the work- order and sub/worker.

Description
Currently, work orders can only be opened by individuals assigned to a specific Mx Activity.  This works well for day to day operations however, as an entity, the Air Force continues to centralize operations in an effort to standardize business practices. We are requesting a feature that will allow a mass work order generation that will span all affected Mx Activities across an entire Site ID. 

Recommended
When opening an instance of a work order utilizing Stock Number and/or CAGE Cd and/or Asset ID criteria, we would like a feature that will allow that work order to be generated  across all affected Mx Activities within a Site ID.  Also, we would like for the Work order Reason Cd, Work Order description, Work Plan Type Cd and Requested Service field to be locked down once we create a centralized work order.  This is especially important for TCTO, Service Bulletin and One-time inspection work orders.  Allowing individual users across 350+ Mx Activities to create or update these work orders, results in missed compliance suspense's and degrades reporting/analysis actions.

Mission Critical
This is mission critical.  Allowing individual users across 350+ Mx Activities to input specific information, especially for TCTO, Service Bulletin and One-time Inspection actions results in severely degraded data integrity and reporting. This directly affects the safety of equipment and the personnel utilizing that equipment.

Benefits
Improves accuracy of status reporting of support equipment for AF readiness reporting and program office sustainment planning.  Eliminates questionable status for users of the equipment.

Users
This SCR directly applies to the business practices that 441 VSCOS also wishing to implement for work order creation as well.  Additionally, this will benefit all DoD entities that are moving toward more centralized operations.  

Description
Currently under additional information, Information is collected for equipment such as Actuation, Batt Voltage, 5 Different Blanks, Gain, LBI, Repair Spot for example. This information is important and being tracked , but the only way to get this information is to open each and every ICN, go to selected items and click edit, and then click additional Info button to see what information was collected. 

Recommended
Establish an "Additional Information Report" See attached example

Description
Current Inventory Reports do not identify the DEPRN Cd for each asset. This information is necessary to identify if an asset is required to be inventoried annually or triennially. As a result this does not allow the user to easily identify those assets as such in the report.

Recommended
Include the DEPRN CD for each asset listed on the Inventory Report.

Mission Critical
Mandated In accordance with DoDI 5000.64 and USD (C) FIAR Guidance, the Accountable Property System of Record will be the authoritative source for validating the existence, completeness, and valuation of an asset. Records must be current and reflect the current status, value, location, condition.
