  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  Currently when a user attempts to receipt for an asset that previously existed in the PA Module (current state is deleted), the prior owner must receipt for it, then transfer it to the gaining activity that now has it.  This method is an inefficient process. When the prior owner turned the asset in, and it was subsequently reissued to a new UIC, the new UIC should be able to receipt for the asset without having to contact the prior owner, which no longer has responsibility for it.

   

  Recommended:

   

  Modify Asset Receiving to enable a new owner of an asset that previously existed in DPAS to receipt for it without requesting the prior DPAS PA owner to reverse their disposition action, then perform a transfer.  Asset Receiving should read history, as it does today, retrieving the key meta data of the asset .e.g. (UII, Serial Nbr, Lot Nbr, etc., price, etc).  The cost field should be populated, but provide for change as the asset could have been through an overhaul becoming a different variant, which is subject to capitalization.

   

  Mission Critical:

   

   

  Benefits:

  This change will eliminate the new owner having to try to track down the previous owner to have them reverse the disposition which was the correct action for them at that time. It also enables the new owner to receipt without waiting for the reversal to occur.

   

  Frequency: Weekly

   

  Users:

  With Air Force being the largest customer of the PA module, and the large quantities of equipment being returned to the wholesale level for storage/refurbish/re-issue, this SCR will be beneficial.
