    Description
    In Defense Property Accountability System's (DPAS) current build, version 3.2, all allocated assets for a Quality Control (QC) task appear in the Quality Control Details gridline.
    The gridline contains selective attributesabout each asset, such as Serial Number, Condition Code, Location, Owning DoDAAC, ICN, etc...
    The attributes that appear in the gridline are a snapshot of the asset's attributes at the time that the asset was allocated to the QC task.
    Since these attributes are not dynamic, any changes that have been made to an asset since it was allocated to a QC task will not appear in the gridline.
    In many cases, an asset has been moved since being allocated to QC.
    In the scenario that an asset has been moved, the gridline reflects inaccurate results about the asset (inaccurate location).
    Users are in need of the ability to update the grid results location field.
    For 14 out of the 16 QC Types:

    • Type 1. CALB - Calibration - Before Maint
    • Type 2. CALA - Calibration - After Maint
    • Type 3. COSB - COSIS - Before Maint
    • Type 4. COSA - COSIS - After Maint
    • Type 5. MNTB - Maintenance - Before
    • Type 6. MNTA - Maintenance - After
    • Type 7. OTHB - Other - Before Maint
    • Type 8. OTHA - Other - After Maint
    • Type 9. TSTB - Test - Before Maint
    • Type 10. TSTA - Test - After Maint
    • Type 11. RCPB - Receipt - Before Maint
    • Type 12. RCPA - Receipt - After Maint
    • Type 13. MROB - MRO - Before Maint
    • Type 14. MROA - MRO - After Maint

    users have the ability to update any asset's Condition Code in the 'Apply Changes to Details' frame (screenshot attached).
    Users should have the ability to update any asset's (any asset allocated to the QC task and consequentially visible in the grid results) location by checking the appropriate record and updating the location in a similar manner that they would update the Condition Code.

    Recommended
    All 16 Quality Control Types should include a Location field in the 'Apply Changes to Details' frame of the QC form. When a user selects a checkbox for a grid result, enters a new the grid results should be updated to reflect the asset's new Location.

    Mission Critical
    This is mission critical due to the fact that inaccurate locations reflected in DPAS will cause unnecessary wastes, including time spent searching for assets by personnel.

    Benefits
    The implementation of this solution will greatly reduce time and cost of completing Quality Control while also improving the accuracy and accountability of Physical Inventory.

    Users
    This affects all users due to the direct, secondary, and exponential implications of Inventory accuracy.
