  Change Request: Policy/Regulatory

  
  Description: DPAS does not currently support segregating materiel in its ICP or Warehouse applications by Purpose Code. DPAS was designed to use Owning DoDAAC and Project Code to support the USMC CSP and Storage Command operations. At that time, USMC stated they did not use Purpose Code. Post the initial implementation, USMC requested Purpose Code. To support the immediate need, USMC requested with DPAS agreeing to open / use the Secondary Serial Nbr to identify the purpose. This capability does not allow for systematically segregation / selection of assets by purpose code, thus DPAS needs to add Purpose Code to its ICP and Warehouse applications to bring the system into compliance with DoDM 4140.

  
  Recommended: The recommended solution is to add a Purpose Code field to the DPAS ICP and Warehouse application and to update the DLMS traffic to support it. This change may necessitate changes to the inventory row business key, user processes, inquiries, reports, and interfaces. The change that are implement should ensure that DPAS aligns to DoD regulations, including the restriction against using alpha Purpose Code O. DLMS transactions will be updated to include Purpose Code. With purpose codes being agency specific, DPAS will need to provide the capability for different codes / descriptions / agency.

  
  Mission Critical: DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, September 15, 2024AP2.4. APPENDIX 2.4 - PURPOSE CODES https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2f%2fwww.dla.mil%2fPortals%2f104%2fDocuments%2fDLMS%2fManuals%2fDLM%2fV2%2f0202.04-v2a2.04.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK

  
  Benefits: Adding Purpose Code functionality will improve inventory management by allowing better categorization of assets. It will enhance regulatory compliance, improve reporting accuracy, and provide operational clarity by reducing ambiguities in inventory records. This change also positions DPAS for future scalability and system enhancements.
