    Description
    Defense Property Accountability System (DPAS) and Army Serialization Business Rule Constraints.
    A system business rule created to support the information exchange between the Army Enterprise Integration Program (AESIP) Army Equipment Materiel Master (AEMM)  and the DPAS Catalog is causing issues with managing items in DPAS for property accountability for serialized items; when data is fed from the AEMM (the Army's master catalog) to DPAS a record with a blank Serial Number Indicator (SNI) (necessary in support of AD 2016-21) the materiel is handled as bulk.
    This is effecting users within both the ASA(ALT) and AMC communities. 

    Recommended
    For the Army customer, instead of the materiel being handled as bulk, the serialization field in DPAS (for items without a SNI) will allow PBOs to continue bringing the property to record with an edit capability and provide "recommended" serialization code in their local account catalog, with a report generated by DPAS so that the Army community can expedite the adjudication of these items.

    Mission Critical
    This is mission critical for audit and transparency. Instead of the materiel being handled as bulk, the serialization field in DPAS (for items without a SNI) will allow PBOs to continue bringing the property to record with an edit capability and provide "recommended" serialization code in their local account catalog.

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