  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  During MARCORLOGCOM’s review of current ELMS processes within the Material Management (ICP) module, it was discovered that system is incorrect selecting and displaying inventory records not within the scope of the redistribution request. This process of incorrect selecting and displaying data lends itself to the Inventory Manager selecting invalid data resulting in inventory mismatches and transactional denials.  This also created unnecessary denials leading to inventory requests.

   

  Recommended:

  1.0 In the Material Management (ICP) module, when an Inventory Manager is creating a new “Redistribution Order”, ELMS shall not automatically create the 527D/DW_ transactions until after the Inventory Manager completes the MRO 940R/A5_ request. (see attached document)
  

   

  1.2 Currently, during the creation of the “Redistribution Order” the system returns the user first to the main results gridline.  This forces the Inventory Manager to locate and select the document being worked prior to completing the 940R/A5_ process.  Much like the “Customer Requestion” process in ELMS, the system shall proceed directly to the 940R/A5_ entry screen without returning first to the main results gridline. (see attached document, image 1.1 and 1.2)

   

  1.3.  When initiating a “New Redistribution Order” in the Material Management (ICP) module, if a Condition Code is selected and there is no on hand available assets to issue anywhere in the associated ICP, the system shall provide a popup alert to the Inventory Manager stopping the process and allowing the Inventory Manager to select a Condition Code that is appropriate to support the redistribution.  (see attached document, image 1.0)

   

  2.0 Currently, when creating the Material Redistribution order 940R/A5_, all Condition Codes and Purpose Codes are populated and displayed in the selection grid.  When creating a 940R/A5_ Material Redistribution release order, in the Material Management (ICP) module, the system shall only display the Condition Code, associated Purpose Codes, and inventory with on hand available quantities matching the original Condition Code and Purpose Code selected.  (see attached document, image 1.5)
