• Description
  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  DPAS continues to expand its customer base.  As part of this expansion, there is a requirement to support shipments to foreign governments.  These shipments are assigned a MAPAC (Military Assistance Program Address Code) which is equivalent to a DoDAAC.  Today, DPAS permits the manual entry of a MAPAC, but there is no validation that what was entered is a valid MAPAC.  DPAS provides a data feed of MAPACs similar to the DoDAAC data feed.  This SCR is requesting DPAS add the MAPAC to its DLA DAAS agreement and provide for import / selection / validation of MAPACS from the master list of MAPACs.

   

  Recommended:

  Import MAPACs, provide the capability to select / validate a MAPAC that is entered to the master list of MAPACs. This change would apply to Materiel Mgmt, (Customer Requisition), Warehouse (Materiel Release Order).  The requisition service would need a change to support MAPAC validate if it supports Military Assistance Program ordering. Asset Disposition in PA  that utilizes the Address Directory will likely need to support Military Assistance issues.

   

  Mission Critical:

  This change improves / reduces the opportunity of error in the entry of a Military Assistance Program Address Code.  

   

  Benefits:

  Improves the overall entry and validation of a Military Assistance Program Address Code.  

   

  Frequency: Weekly

   

  Users:

  This change would be used for all shipments for Military Assistance. It is not known how many organizations perform these types of shipments.  The Army PEOs, USMC, and possibly USSOCOM would be the beneficiaries of this change.
