  Description
  Currently, the Consolidated Storage Program (CSP) doesn't have an interface for financial transactions. In October 2021 the Marine Corps will move from the Standard Accounting, Budgeting, and Reporting System (SABRS) accounting system to Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.  We would like to interface the new Marine Corps accounting system (DAI) with DPAS. This will allow for transactions to flow seamlessly between systems, unlike the current process that demands ordering through DPAS and then "Swivel Chairing" to SABR's to obligate funds.

  Recommended
  Create an interface between DPAS and DAI. Currently GCSSMC is looking at creating a outbound XML file using the "piping" delimiter as field separator. DPAS should be able to follow a similar business process. 

  Mission Critical
  Yes, interface would help ensure accuracy for obligating funds and save personnel work hours.

  Benefits
  This interface would help ensure accuracy for obligating funds and save personnel work hours.  This would also be a significant improvement for audit. 

  Users
  This will effect all CSP Warehouses that order assets.  This will likely be a net benefit to other services and organizations as DIA is not USMC specific.
