    Description:
     
    DoD Serial Nbr field is not available as a field option in all M&U screens and functions.  USAF SE uses the DoD Serial Number field in M&U to associate the asset and DPAS record with the historical record in legacy systems.  We do this by documenting the legacy system ID in the DoD Serial Nbr field in DPAS.  Additionally, in many cases this ID is physically stenciled on the asset and is the primary means of ready identification.  
     
    Recommended:
     
    Include the DoD Serial Nbr as a field option on all inquiry screens.  Display DoD Serial Nbr field on all profiling, work order, work plan, maintenance schedule, and other primary functional screens where the serial number or asset ID are displayed.
     
    Mission Critical:
     
    Mission Critical.  For most AF SE maintenance organizations the DoD Serial Nbr represents the primary means of equipment identification when the equipment is in use.
     
    Benefits:
     
    Significantly reduces time spent identifying equipment when needed for maintenance or inspection, improves accuracy of documentation and accountability by providing the most used identification method on necessary screens.  Also has safety implications when a piece of equipment must be removed from service quickly to prevent injury to personnel or damage to a weapon system.  Also allows custodians to more quickly and accurately inventory equipment.  Significantly reduces time spent profiling by providing the most known and available identifier on the screen for assets awaiting profiling.
