  Description
  This SCR implements the Project Code change identified within ADC 1379.  For the Cost Center change identified within ADC 1379, reference ASA(ALT)'s DPAS SCR 01562.  Project Code requirement - USSOCOM purchases service funded inventory.  Once it arrives and is placed in stock, each service's inventory is given a different project code to identify the qty that each service has purchased and will be subsequently issued. Today, there is no capability to pass a requisition Project Code (why the customer is ordering the item) and the Project Code that is assigned to the inventory (what stock needs to be selected to fill the order).  Today to support sending the warehouse project code, the customer cannot cite a project code in the order.  To support USSOCOM's requirement of segregating the inventory, there was a need for the second Project Code to be included in the messaging between the Materiel Mgmt and Warehouse Mgmt modules.

  Recommended
  Warehouse Project Code - Within Materiel Mgmt., include the warehouse and requisition project codes in the DLMS 940R transaction that is sent to the warehouse for fulfillment.   For the Warehouse, process the inbound 940R adding the warehouse project code to the MRO.  Then use the warehouse project code to determine stock availability and to feed to Materiel Selector and in the creation of the Pick row that is subsequently created.  On the outbound DLMS 945A distinguish include the requisition's project code and the warehouse project code. Use the warehouse project code to decrement stock in Materiel Mgmt. upon receipt of the DLMS 945A confirming the shipment of the stock. The DLMS 856S shipment status will contain the requisition project code.   When the order fulfillment is to occur with inventory consisting of multiple warehouse project codes, permit the suffixing of the Document Nbr to enable multiple MROs to be generated to the same RSA, each with a different warehouse project code. This change may require a change to the Picking process.

  Mission Critical
  Yes.  USSOCOM requires a method to mange their inventory by the organization that purchased it.

  Benefits
  ADC 1379 eliminates the confusion between the requisition project Code (why the organization is ordering the item) and how the warehouse is storing the item.  The Materiel Manager / Warehouse operations will now be able to segregate the materiel without having to email/notify the warehouse which stock to select to fill an order.

  Users
  Most warehouse operations will benefit by this change.
