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.
