DPAS SCR: 02155

Adding Manage SKO to Inventory Update Manager

Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:

We are requesting enhanced functionality within DPAS to allow for the replacement of SKO components or the modification of their condition codes in a more timely and efficient manner. At present, users are limited to two options: either route the SKO through the QA/QC process or fully disassemble the SKO, update condition codes or replace components, and then reassemble it. This process is time-consuming and introduces unnecessary operational delays.

Recommended:

Integrating the existing Manage SKO functionality, currently utilized within the QA/QC process, into the Inventory Update Manager would streamline workflows and reduce processing time for users when performing component swaps or updating condition codes.

Mission Critical:

In accordance with NECC instruction 5200.45, all SKO assemblies need to be updated regularly to maintain inventory accuracy and material readiness status

Benefits:

Implementing this capability will significantly reduce the man-hours required to replace SKO components or update their condition codes, thereby increasing overall efficiency and minimizing resource expenditure.

Frequency: Daily

Users:

This functionality would be utilized by the majority of NECC DPAS users who perform receiving, transfer, and issuance operations for all assets required to be recorded in DPAS.

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.
