• Description

  Description
  The requirement to add select items as mandatory when establishing the customer profile, is creating friction points for the Army customer. The mandatory fields for FAD, media status and conditional codes are should be applied when the customer requisition is built not at time of customer profile creation, theses codes fluctuate based on requirements at time of creation and are not universal like the other mandatory fields. 

  Recommended
  Do not make the FAD, media status, and condition code mandatory fields in the customer profile build, allow them to be static.  Make these codes mandatory in the customer requisition (already available and it pulls forward what was in the Customer Profile - can override them; however, there shouldn't be a default).

  Mission Critical
  This is mission critical, Army customers will process hundreds of customer requisitions daily in DPAS, without this process it hinders the ability for the customer in make adjustments in DPAS to execute and is causing delays with the fielding missions.  ASA(ALT) will prebuild all Army customers with static data - but the media code, condition code, etc. varies by fielding type - however, all PEOs conduct fielding's to the same units - so these codes need to be fluid by requisition.

  Benefits
  Adding the modification would reduce reprocessing time, improve accuracy, and accountability aligned to audit.  This would also reduce the backlog and stream line items affecting Army logistics business processes.

  Users
  This would affect all the ASA ALT community -- users in DPAS (WM).
