  Description
  In the current version of DPAS, 3.2.01, the system only allows Picks that are being planned and conducted one at a time.  Currently, users are utilizing offline processes and applications (i.e., Excel) to physically conduct multiple Picks at the same time.  These offline processes are necessary when the Picks have the same “To” and “From” location.   To complete the process, users must compile several Pick numbers on a spreadsheet and email the spreadsheet to warehouse personnel to move assets concurrently instead of making the same trip multiple times.  DPAS users then have to update DPAS' Picks one at a time to confirm that the system reflects the changes that have occurred.  Users need the capability for a “mass update” process to Plan and Pick all affected Picks at one time.

  Recommended
  It is recommended that in all Pick planning and conducting areas of the DPAS Warehouse Module, a “mass update” functionality be available.  This would include adding a checkbox before the Plan/Pick button on the Materiel Mgmt > Materiel Movement > Pick/Plan screens & Materiel Mgmt > Transportation > Pick/Plans screens.  This functionality shall work similar to the 'Take Selected' feature in the Inventory Master Selector that is utilized when picking assets for a single Pick Number. The user would be able to view the details of the Stock Number Picks and Inventory Picks of all previously selected Pick Numbers on the Plan Details and Pick Details page.  At this point, the user should have the ability to update and Pick all Picks simultaneously.

  Mission Critical
  This is mission critical due to the fact that the current practices are cumbersome and unnecessarily lengthy.

  Benefits
  If a “mass update” functionality is made available, this enhancement will dramatically increase the movement and flow of production.

  Users
  This affects all users due to the direct, secondary, and exponential implications of Production.
