Physical Inventory at the Enterprise Level

Change Request: Process Improvement

Description:

We are requesting the addition of functionality within the Inventory process to enable users to conduct inventories by Reportable Commodities at the Enterprise level. This enhancement would allow users to schedule inventories for an entire commodity type across a specified Region or Site, thereby improving inventory management efficiency and ensuring timely accountability for assets across broader organizational scopes.

Recommended:

During the Inventory process, users with the appropriate Region/Site access should be able to select an optional Region/Site on the same interface where they can choose specific Reportable Commodities for inventory. Additionally, an Enterprise Rollup selection feature could be included, enabling users to select an entire Region/Site for inventory at once, streamlining the process and enhancing inventory management capabilities.

Mission Critical:

NECCINST 5200.45

Benefits:

The addition of this capability would empower users to conduct inventories across multiple warehouses or an entire Region/Site simultaneously, significantly enhancing the efficiency and speed of the inventory process.

Frequency: Daily

Users:

All users who utilize multiple warehouses and the Physical Inventory function.

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.
