  Description
  DPAS does not permit the user to import data as part of their converting to DPAS.  Today, the user must complete Excel Spreadsheets and submit them to their DPAS Fielding Support team which reviews them for completeness, then forwards them to a DBA for processing.  The goal would be to provide the user with an Import feature within all processes.  This import feature would work similarly to the existing DPAS Member Profile (Warehouse) and the Fuel / Utilization Import (Maint/Util). 

  Recommended
  Allow the user to export a template for a specific process, complete it, then import it.  The system would validate the import and add all valid records to the system.  All failed records would be available for export for correction, and / or there would be a "Pending" button that the user could pull up each record that failed validation to be corrected within the Add Screen which would then allow the record to be processed.

  Mission Critical
  Currently the New User Fielding process is needed to support all new Customers converting to DPAS.  By providing a change is how it is accomplished will reduce the customer wait time and allow them to be in more control of when the data is actually loaded.

  Benefits
  Reduces the effort required to convert a new customer to DPAS. Provides greater capability to existing customers that may have a large import to perform.  Can be accomplished without Helpdesk and DBA support.

  Users
  All users of the PA, Warehousing, Materiel Mgmt, and Main/Util modules could use this feature as it becomes available.
