  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)

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.
