State Description
02150 Include PSD Id in TPF Transactions PA,Materiel Management ASA-ALT New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
The Army's Decision Support Tool (DST) is the system that tracks new equipment fielding and when they are to occur.  Each fielding is assigned a PSD Id to each each equipment fielding.  Currently the PSD Id is not included in the DLMS transaction to denote why the equipment is being sent to a Unit.  The proposed improvement is to have ELMS provide for the input of the PSD Id into the PA Disposition Transfer Out and into the MM Customer Requisition processes enabling the value to be included in the DLMS transactions.  See also ELMS SCR 01938
 
Recommended:
1. Modify MM Customer Requisition to provide for input of the PSD Id.
2. Modify PA Disposition to provide for the input of the PSD Id.
3. Include the PSD Id in the DLMS 527D (PMR) and DLMS 856S (Shipment Status) transactions sets within the Reference Identification loop using the PWC qualifier.
 
Mission Critical:
Provides 100% confirmation to DST that the fielding has occurred.
 
Benefits:
Provides visibility that a fielding is being planned via the 527D.
Provides 100% validation that the planned fielding occurred enabling DST to be able to close the fielding systematically.

02149 Option to print DD 1348 before disposal is approved Warehouse ASA-ALT New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
When creating a disposal action within the DPAS WM module a DD 1348 can't be printed until the disposal is approved by the "Warehouse Manager and the "COR". For the COR to approve a disposal action they should verify that all signed documentation is uploaded in DPAS before approving the action. Since the DD 1348 can't be printed until after the COR approves the disposal the users are having to create the DD 1348's outside of DPAS. This can cause issues with data accurate since the users can't allow the system to generate the information. This also increases the time it takes to complete the transaction.  
 
Recommended:
Allow the DD 1348 to be printed before the COR has to approve the transaction but after the "warehouse manager" has given the first approval.
 
Mission Critical:
The process must be flexible to support the business.  This change will enable greater flexibility.
 
Benefits:
The DD 1348 will no longer have to be created outside of DPAS therefore the time to complete the action will decrease and the data on the DD 1348 will be in sync with the information that has been stored in the DPAS WM module.

02148 DCAPES interface for FSM FSM DAF New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
Currently Authorization managers must input readiness code 'A' authorizations into FSM either via Mass update or manual input. In some cases the Unit Type Code (UTC)s and Auth details in FSM do not match the UTCs in the authoritative system which causes mismatches between the systems and requires manual intervention.
 
Recommended:
Establish an interface to the authoritative system Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution System (DCAPES) to limit or eliminate manual intervention. The DCAPES PMO also has a requirement for their system to accommodate this requirement
 
Mission Critical:
Removes the manual process of establishing readiness code 'A' requirements. Additionally this will resolve a recent AFAA audit finding, that identified mismatches in FSM from the authoritative database with regard to UTC requirements
 
Benefits:
By leveraging the direct interface we remove the manual process and remove the requirement to reconcile the data from both systems.

02143 Maint Mgmt Assignment by Custodian Nbr PA,Materiel Management USAF New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
Current DPAS configuration limits the ability to assign assets to M&U at the UIC level.  Aviation maintenance units within FH-AFHAF have custodian accounts that are not required to use M&U but assigned assets are loaded against a Maint Group ID (MGID). This results in asset records being bridged over to M&U but are not actively managed.  
 
Recommended:
Provide capability to bridge/ unbridge by Custodian Number's. Adding MGID characteristic to Custodian Number's.
 
Mission Critical:

02142 Inclusion of TFSMS Attribute Data in the Enterprise Catalog PA,MU,Warehouse,Materiel Management USMC New
Change Request: New System Process

Description:
The interface being constructed between TFSMS and ELMS was lacking key attributes that are essential in identifying and defining the LIN/TAMCN used by the Marine Corps.  Inventory Managers and Equipment Specialists throughout the Marine Corps rely on the additional data being requested to assist in their day to day management of Class VII inventory.  The data being asked for should be added to the Enterprise catalog.
 
Recommended:
 
1.0  The ELMS system shall include in it interface with the Marine Corps TFSMS system the following key attributes used to minimally assist in identification and defining controlled Class VII inventory:
 
TAMCN
NATIONAL_STOCK_NUMBER
STANDARDIZATION_CATEGORY_CODE
TAM_STATUS
TAM_STATUS_DATE
ITEM_EXIT_DATE
COLLOQUIAL_NAME
MODEL_NUMBER
DIMENSION_HEIGHT_IN_FEET
DIMENSION_WIDTH_IN_INCHES
DIMENSION_WIDTH_IN_FEET
DIMENSION_LENGTH_IN_FEET DIMENSION_LENGTH_IN_INCHES
DIMENSION_HEIGHT_IN_IN
STAND_PKG_CUBECHES
STD_PKG_LB_WT
 
1.1 Once the interface is established, the ELMS system shall include all identified attributes in the Enterprise level catalog for the Marine Corps. the primary key to link the information to the catalog is [National_Stock_Number].
 
1.2 Once the information is included in the Enterprise level catalog, ELMS will make that information available to sub-catalogs (ie, SKO, Stock Item, M&U, Material Management, PA)
 
1.3 The frequency of the update shall be dependent on the interface agree established between Marine Corps TFSMS system and ELMS.
 
2.0  NSN SUBSTITUTION: The ELMS system shall provide the inventory Manager, operating in the Material Management module, with the capability to substitute an NSN within a TAMCN group, taking into consideration STANDARDIZATION_CATEGORY_CODE from the TFSMS attributes, which will be added to the Enterprises Catalog.  
 
2.1  In the case where a denial is received at the Material Management module and the document is placed back into a backorder status.  ELMS shall provide the Inventory Manager with a capability to substitute and NSN only when the replacement NSN is with the like LIN\TAMCN group.  The criteria for the replacement will be strictly controlled by NSNs that have "In Service" (IS), "Plan Allowance" (PL), Disposal Plan (DP) assets available based on the  [TAM_STATUS] attribute in the catalog.  
 
2.1.1 At no time shall the system provide the Inventory Manager with the ability to select and alternate asset that is in Achieve (AR) status.
 
2.2  At the time of substitution, the Inventory Manager shall be provided with the capability to chose a replacement NSN with a different Condition Code and Purpose Code availability.  
 
2.3  ELMS shall be programed to conduct a virtual verification of the selection being made by the Inventory Manager ensuring the warehouse selected, the NSN, quantity, Condition Code and the Purpose Code and support the requested MRO.  If the asset is not available matching the specifications identified for the substitution, ELMS will provide the Inventory Manager with an alert and the process will be halted until the error is corrected.

02141 Inbound Serial Number Enforcement for EDI Materiel Management USMC New
Change Request: New System Process

Description:
ELMS must enforce Serialized Item Management (SIM) for designated National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs) across various Enterprise Logistics Management System (ELMS) modules. Data exchanges with external trading partner systems via DLMS EDI/X12 transactions sometimes fail to include required serial numbers for serialized assets. This occurs primarily in, but not limited to:
      • 856S (Shipment Notices – Due-In Transactions)
      • 945A (Materiel Release – Advice Transactions)
      • 947I (Inventory Adjustment Transactions)
The absence of serial numbers in these transactions compromises data integrity and prevents compliance with DoD serialized property management regulations outlined in:
      • DoDM 4140.01 (DoD Supply Chain Materiel Management Procedures)
      • DLMSO Manuals (DLMS Volume 2, Supply)
      • MILSTRAP/DLMS Mapping for EDI transactions
This System Change Request (SCR) proposes a standardized method to detect, report, manage, and resolve these data quality format issues within ELMS. These changes are required to enforce compliance with SIM policies within DPAS modules and ensure accurate logistics accountability and audit readiness.
 
Recommended:
Implement an automated edit-check mechanism within ELMS to identify inbound DLMS EDI transactions missing required serial numbers, route them to an error handling interface for user remediation, and support transaction reprocessing once corrected. This ensures serialized assets are tracked consistently across the enterprise.
Scope: This change applies to all ELMS modules ingesting DLMS EDI/X12 transactions involving serialized asset movement, including but not limited to:
     
      • Receipt and Due-In processing
      • Inventory management and adjustments
      • Inbound shipment confirmations
      • Materiel Release Orders
 
Requirements:
 
    1.1. Edit Checks for Serialized Transactions. ELMS shall implement automated validation logic for inbound EDI 856S, 945A, and 947I transactions to detect when a transaction line item is for a NIIN that is marked as serialized but lacks an associated serial number(s).
 
    1.1.2 Enforcement Against Serialized NIIN Catalog. The system shall reference the ELMS NIIN Catalog or Master Item File to determine if an item requires serialized tracking before enforcing serial number validation.
 
    1.1.3. Transaction Error Flagging. Transactions missing required serial numbers shall not be ingested into ELMS records but instead flagged as “Unprocessed” and queued for user intervention in the Interface Queue Manager.
 
    1.1.4. Error Queue Management Dashboard. ELMS shall provide an enhanced dashboard view in the Interface Queue Manager that displays:
        • Transaction type (i.e., 856S, 945A, 947I, etc.)
        • Originating trading partner
        • NIIN and quantity
        • Serial number missing status
        • Error message: “Serialized NIIN reported without corresponding serial numbers”
 
    1.1.5. Manual Update Interface. The dashboard shall support manual entry of missing serial numbers by the ELMS User after collection from the originating trading partner system.  
 
    1.1.6  Audit Trail Capture. The system shall capture all entries made manually to enhance the inbound EDI transactions:
 
        • User ID
        • Date/time stamp
        • Action performed
        • Original vs. updated values
 
   1.1.7  Reprocessing Capability. Once updated with the required serial numbers, the transaction shall be made available for resubmission ingestion using standard processing logic. Successful ingestion will update the transaction status to “Processed” and remove it from the error queue.
 
   1.1.8  System Alerts. ELMS shall provide automated notifications (email or in-system alert) to designated user roles when transactions are flagged as unprocessed due to missing serial numbers.
 
   1.1.9 Metrics and Reporting. The system shall generate periodic reports that include:
     
        • Number of transactions flagged for missing serials
        • Time to resolution
        • Frequency by trading partner
        • NIINs most affected
 
   1.1.10. Configuration Flexibility. Administrators shall be able to update the list of NIINs subject to Serialized Item Management without requiring code changes, using an ELMS catalog or configuration table.

02140 Upload of Supporting Documentation to Documents that are Closed PA,Warehouse,Materiel Management USMC New
Change Request: New System Process

Description:
ELMS currently does not possess the ability to attach Key Supporting Documents (KSA) (ie. LTI's, signed 1348s, 1149) to a document that is in a closed status.  This was discussed during the on site visit to the ELMS LEIDO's facility in early March 2025.  This will impact MARCORLOGCOM's ability to answer audit related inquires if not resolved.
 
Recommended:
1.0  Inventory Managers, using the Material Management (MM) module, shall be provided with the capability to upload an attached Key Supporting Documentation (KSDs) to documents considered closed in ELMS.  This is to facility the requirement to extract supporting documentation during an audit evaluation.
 
1.1 ELMS shall provide the Inventory Manager, the Material Management (MM) module with a capability retrieve attachments from any document recorded in the system.
 
2.0  Warehouse personnel, using the Warehouse Module (WM) module, shall be provided with the capability to upload an attached Key Supporting Documentation (KSDs) to documents considered closed in ELMS.  This is to facility the requirement to extract supporting documentation during an audit evaluation.

02139 Warehouse Financial Accounting Warehouse,Materiel Management MDA New
Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:
MDA has a requirement to manage operating materiel and supplies "OM&S" that are currently being managed using MS Excel spreadsheets.  In addition, MDA is requesting DPAS system enhancements to support “actual cost” accounting for OM&S within the warehouse module.   On occasion, MDA may have assets (non-capital and capital) that are awaiting transfer / disposition that it would like to have stored in a warehouse.  DPAS does not currently support fixed asset accounting or OM&S accounting by actual cost for items that are accounted for in the warehouse.  The proposed solution is for DPAS to configure to manage fixed assets within the warehouse module or through integration with a fixed asset module and to be able to electronically report those items to the MDA financial statements supported by Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI).    
 
Recommended:
• By Stock Nbr, permit the user to determine how they want to financially account for the $ value of OM&S (MAC, LAC, ACT).  Note: MAC = Moving Average Cost, LAC = Latest Acquisition Cost and ACT = Actual Cost.  Actual cost would be limited to serialized OM&S.
• Develop a DAI accounting interface reporting capability to report capital assets and OM&S managed within the warehouse similar to how property accountability performs the financial reporting.  
• Enable fixed assets and OM&S to transfer between DPAS modules along with their cost and depreciation. Items transferred between organizations with different catalogs will need to have the valuation set based upon the receiving entity's catalog.
 
Mission Critical:
The implementation of this SCR is in support of customers of the Warehouse / Materiel Mgmt. modules in support of financial accounting of fixed capital assets and OM&S. Methodologies must be DoD 7000.14R / FASAB / US. Treasury USSGL compliant to support an agency's Financial Improvement Audit Readiness "FIAR".
 
Benefits:
Supports financial compliance for all assets / supplies accounted for using DPAS regardless of module.

02135 Assignment of Orphan Status and Shipping Translations - 1b Warehouse,Materiel Management USMC New

Change Request: Process Improvement

 

Description

Currently, it has been observed in ELMS that when Status and Shipping notifications (870S, 856S, 870M/FTL, and 856R/FTM) DLMS transactions are received and there is no due-in present, the intended ICP nor warehouse has the inbound shipment recorded in the system as due in to their location. In short, the transaction exceptions out and no further action is done in ELMS to allow visibility of these transactions without manually hunting them down.  This lends itself to frustrated shipments.

 
Recommended

1.0 Requirements for dealing with intransit transactions transmitted by DAAS where there are missing due-in leading header transactions records.

 
1.1 When and inbound transactions indicates an Owning-RIC tied to and ICP within ELMS (MPT) or is intended for one of the Remote Storage Locations (RSAs) connected to an ICP, ELMS shall automatically generate a 527D/DWZ (Preposition Material Receipt (PMR)) record for all inbound DLMS transactions (870S, 856S, 870M/FTL, and 856R/FTM) That does not have a due-in resident in ELMS.
 
1.1.1 If the inbound transactions has a REF/SE or REF/U3 segment populated identifying serial numbers or IUID. the ELMS system shall record that information as part of the due-in record.  
 
1.1.2  The newly established due-in and follow-on status should be recorded at the Material Management (ICP) level and on the document control records of the intended receiving warehouse as an intransit due-in.
 
1.1.3  If the NSN identified on the inbound transactions is not loaded to the Stock Item catalog of the RSA where the asset has been shipped to, and the NSN resides on the Enterprise LP catalog, ELMS will automatically load the NSN to the Stock Item catalog for that RSA.
 
1.2  Upon receipt, ELMS shall record the document as a 527R/D6Z showing that the document was receipted for from a document that had NO due-in recorded.
 
1.2.1 ELMS shall allow all KSDs to be attached to the document in support of audit requirements.
 
1.2.2  ELMS shall provide a capability to access and retrieve the completed document both from the Material Management (MM) module and the Warehouse Module (WM).
 
1.2.3 At the same time ELMS produces the 527R/D6Z DLMS transactions it shall also produce the required 527R/DRA and transmit it back to the originator of the shipment.
 

2.0  If a 527R/D6_ is received from an external storage point, the system shall build the corresponding 527D/DW_ (Preposition Material Receipt (PMR)) record and allow for the posting of the receipt under the Material Management (MM) module under the associated ICP.

02134 Filtering Process for PIEE WAWF Receipt Transactions PA,Warehouse,Materiel Management Leidos New

Change Request: New System Process

 

Description

The setup of PIEE WAWF for the ELMS user must be performed within PIEE.  1) Often times the APO doesn't know who their WAWF coordinator is, 2) the setup isn't specific enough to prevent non-property book receipts from passing to ELMS causing review / deletion of unwanted Due Ins, and/or 3) it requires constant WAWF configuration maintenance between the Accountable Property Officer (APO), and their WAWF coordinator to tweak the WAWF setting in an attempt to receive the desired receipts.

 
Recommended

 Create a WAWF filter process on the ELMS side that will provide the APO a filtering process to filter in / out receipts they want to see as Due Ins in PA and/or Warehouse. Once in place, ELMS will enable 100% of the organization's WAWF receipts to flow to ELMS using the ELMS WAWF filtering rules established by the APO to determine which receipts will become a Due In. ELMS will also provide the APO with a view of those receipts that were filtered out and allowing the user select ones that should have created a Due In to be processed into a Due In.

Mission Critical: This change incorporates additional PIEE WAWF functionality within ELMS.

Benefits: This change will provide improved integration between PIEE GFP and ELMS (APSR).

02133 PIEE GFP Business Process Improvements PA,Warehouse,Materiel Management Leidos New

Change Request: New System Process

 

Description

PIEE GFP is adding functionality that will enable it to report to the material owner's Accountable Property System of Record (APSR) such as condition code changes and disposition actions via the DLMS 947I Inventory Adjustment Transaction Set.  See DEDSO's website for the DLMS 947I Implementation Convention.

 
Recommended

Modify ELMS to accept the DLMS 947I from PIEE GFP and update / remove the material from DPAS.  This change will require locating the item in ELMS (PA, WM or MM) and performing the action plus all sub actions to include reporting the financial change should item be financially reportable.

Mission Critical: This change incorporates the additional PIEE GFP functionality within ELMS.

Benefits: This change will provide improved integration between PIEE GFP and ELMS (APSR).

02132 Intransit Document Review and Verification - 1b Materiel Management USMC New

Change Request: Process Improvement

 

Description

Current ELMS processes do not provide the end user with serial number detail within the In-Transit Review process to search for and close intransit shipments with an approval process. When documents are sent to an outside entity that cannot reply transactionally confirming receipt of a shipment, it is the responsibility of the Inventory Manager, when Material Management (ICP) module is being utilized, to close out the intransit record once the Key Supporting Document (KSD) is supplied. The in-transit review process will need to have serial number detail to facilitate the processing and closeout of shipments. Serial number level details are specifically needed for instances where the confirmation quantity does not match the shipment information (Either with KSD or Responses that are short).

 
Recommended

The ELMS system shall be enhanced to include a serial number search capability within the “Intransit Review” screen, allowing users to locate and verify specific intransit records. Upon selection of a shipment, all associated serial numbers will be displayed, automatically checked upon first entry. Users will have the ability to uncheck serial numbers not verified as received based on the Key Supporting Document (KSD). A new Stage Code “DS – Discrepant Shipment” is requested to flag and clearly display discrepant serial numbers or quantities. This is a critical enhancement, as current functionality lacks the capability to drill down by serial number for intransit shipment verification and closeout. This feature is necessary to enable Inventory Managers using the ICP module to validate and close shipments when transactional confirmation is not available, ensuring compliance with audit standards. Refer to the attached USMC BRD for additional detail.

Mission Critical: This process allows the user to properly adjudicate and confirm in transit shipments, when the receiving agency does not confirm receipt, or confirms receipt with errors or discrepant quantities.  

Benefits

-Meets MARCORLOGCOM’s business model.
-Ensures the accurate closeout of in-transit shipments based on Key Supporting Documents received at external RSA's, DLA-DS, or other entities that do not respond appropriately via DLMS Transactions.

 

Frequency: Daily

Users: This SCR will support all users of DPAS Material Management, and clean up an issue with the validation of serialized assets when the quantities do not match between what was shipped and the KSD Received.

02131 TAC Code AUD Table - 1b PA,Warehouse,Materiel Management,Enterprise USMC New

Change Request: Process Improvement

 

Description

ELMS currently does not allow for Transportation Account Codes (TAC) value set to be added to, updated, or values deleted from within the Material Management (MM) module.  Inventory Manager (IMs) are often provided TAC codes to be used when redistributing inventory to other services or other entities from within the Marine Corps.  The ability to add, update, and delete TAC codes is inherently the responsibility of the IMs using the Material Management module.

 
Recommended

The ELMS Material Management (ICP) module shall enable Inventory Managers to Add, Update, and Delete Transportation Account Codes (TACs) within a controlled value set. Once valid TACs are available, managers can select a TAC when generating a 940R Material Release, which will be embedded in the transaction (segment N9, code "TH") and transmitted to the appropriate Remote Storage Activity (RSA) for further distribution. TAC control remains with the ICP when warehouses are linked. Refer to the attached BRD for additional details.

Mission Critical: This process improvement is to allow for the USMC Enterprise Help Desk to make quick updates to the TAC Code to support emerging mission requirements. The DPAS Support help desk ticket to add a TAC Code has been determined pose risks to MARCORLOGCOM Weapon System Managers meeting mission timelines, and hence a User Update Process for this field is required.

Benefits: -Meets MARCORLOGCOM’s business model.

-Ensures timely processing of shipments in support of Global Force Management and Contingency requirements, that require the quick update of TAC Codes.

-Ensures Accuracy of TAC Code Submissions to support interface with DLA Transportation Systems.

Frequency: Daily

Users: All MARCORLOGCOM Material Managers, and other DPAS Users who will use this process.
