  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  FLIS and AEMM provides CAGE / Mfr data as part of their data feeds for NSNs / MCNs.  DPAS does not currently auto import the data when the Stock Nbr (NSN / MCN) is established.  DPAS requires the user to manually input this data without the benefit of the data provided by FLIS / AEMM.  This effort is not trivial for ASA(ALT) as its mission is to field the next generation of equipment which require the continuous DPAS cataloging of the new items and the fact that the PA module requires the establishment of a Manufacturer Part Nbr record prior to receipting for materiel.

   

  Recommended:
  

  1.  When cataloging a new item where the stock nbr is interfaced from FLIS or AEMM, and one or more manufacture records are available for the Stock Nbr, DPAS should display the Mfr Part Nbr records to the user and provide the user with the capability to select the ones they desire to be added to the Mfr Part Nbr table.
  

  2.  Upon selection, DPAS should auto establish the Mfr Part Nbr records in the user catalog.  

  3.  DPAS also needs to update existing Mfr Part Nbr records when the interface provides updates and add new Mfr Part Nbr records when new ones arrive for stock nbrs that have been cataloged.

   

  Mission Critical:

  This functionality will significantly reduce the U.S.  Army's DPAS cataloging effort.

   

  Benefits:

  This change will streamline cataloging for all DPAS users and improve the overall DPAS user experience.

   

  Frequency: Daily

   

  Users:

  All cataloging users that utilize the FLIS and or AEMM data feeds.
