  Change Request: Policy/ Regulatory

  
  

  Description:

  The audit community has identified a materiel weakness within the Army processes as to how it is managing Class 7 items being issued to foreign countries via a Presidential Directive (PD).  To eliminate the materiel weakness, DA plans to incorporate the issuance of the equipment into its Decision Support Tool (DST).  There are plans to establish consolidation points that will be managed using the LMP and or GCSS-Army software.  To support this effort, DPAS will need to incorporate a the DST PSD (Potential Source Document) within its Customer Requisition process along with including the value in the DLMS 527D and 856S transmissions.  Consideration should also include incorporating the PSD within the PA Asset Disposition Transfer process.

   

  Recommended:

  1. Incorporate PSD and FMS Case Number into Customer Requisition and DLMS transactions.
  

  2. Incorporate PSD, FMS Case Number, and Project Code into Asset Disposition Transfer and DLMS transactions.

  3. Provide for updated DLMS 527D and 856S, should an ADC be issued to hold the PSD value.

  4. Conduct testing with GCSS-Army to ensure the transactions can be accepted and processed with the updated fields and that the changes did not impact TPF processing.

  5. Conduct testing with LMP.

  This change is to eliminate an Army Materiel Weakness in managing FMS issues as directed by a Presidential Directive

   

  Benefits:
