  Description
  When Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) initially implemented an interface with APSRs, the intent was to provide Receiving Report data for New Procurements, and provide the capability for APSRs to track and confirm receipt of GFP/GFM shipments to contractors utilizing the "TS" functionality.  Utilizing the interface for transfers provided for an auto update of the IUID registry of transfers between the government and contractor. To support this activity, WAWF provided a pseudo DLMS 856S via GEX.  WAWF does not actually generate or receive the DLMS 856S, but rather used GEX's translation service to put the data into the 856S format or to extract the data from the 856S format.  During a recent WAWF Requirement meeting, it was discovered that WAWF has since implemented the DLMS 861 Transaction Set for materiel acceptances rather than using the DLMS 856S.  This was not known to DPAS as DPAS believed it was receiving acceptance notices via the DLMS 856S.  A review of the DLMS transactions DPAS received in 2017, it does appear that DPAS does in fact receive materiel acceptance via the 856S transaction set.  The WAWF Program believes DPAS should transition to the DLMS 861 for Acceptance.  During the review, it was discovered that DPAS is not capturing the "Acceptance Dt".  Everything is being driven by the Receipt Dt.   

  Recommended
  Review current WAWF processing and determine whether DPAS should transition to the DLMS 861 Transaction Set for materiel acceptance.  If it should, then make the necessary changes to provide for the receipt and procssing of the DLMS 861 Transaction Set.  Regardless of the outcome of the review (Implement the DLMS 861 or stay with the DLMS 856S), DPAS should be basing the Property Book  / Warehouse Receipt based upon the Acceptance Dt, not the Receipt Dt.  This change should be implemented regardless of the transaction set the Acceptance Dt is acquired from. 

  Mission Critical
  This SCR is considered essential for DPAS compliance with DoD Policy.
