• Description
  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  Currently Authorization managers must input readiness code 'A' authorizations into FSM either via Mass update or manual input. In some cases the Unit Type Code (UTC)s and Auth details in FSM do not match the UTCs in the authoritative system which causes mismatches between the systems and requires manual intervention.

   

  Recommended:

  Establish an interface to the authoritative system Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution System (DCAPES) to limit or eliminate manual intervention. The DCAPES PMO also has a requirement for their system to accommodate this requirement

   

  Mission Critical:

  Removes the manual process of establishing readiness code 'A' requirements. Additionally this will resolve a recent AFAA audit finding, that identified mismatches in FSM from the authoritative database with regard to UTC requirements

   

  Benefits:

  By leveraging the direct interface we remove the manual process and remove the requirement to reconcile the data from both systems.

   

  Frequency: Daily

   

  Users: Existing UTCs are validated biennially, currently there are over 160K UTC tasked authorizations

The DPAS Program Management Office is proud to announce the name of the system will undergo a re-branding. The system that you have used for many years has grown into more than a Property Accountability system and is now being used by organizations outside of the Defense Department. To account for all capabilities within the system, the team has renamed the system to the Enterprise Logistics Management System (ELMS). Please bear with us as we update the support webpage and the training material over time. The update to the system is scheduled to be completed by Release 2025.2.4, which will deploy to the Production environment on 16 May.

 

The DPAS eLearning (including the IO upload center) and DPAS Support websites will be unavailable beginning Friday, May16th at 9pm ET, until Sunday May 18th 9pm ET due to the ELMS rebranding. Please plan accordingly. If you need assistance during this time, please contact the DPAS/ELMS Helpdesk at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Please note that as of Monday, May 5th, the URL for the SAT environment has changed to https://stage.elms.dla.mil - to stress, this is for the ELMS SAT environment, NOT the ELMS Production environment. We will post a separate message for the Production URL change when it becomes applicable.
