  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  Description:

  Currently each DPAS warehouse is required to have a unique RIC (Mandatory when external reporting is required) and / or DoDAAC. This value is used for routing DLMS transactional data between DPAS Warehouse Mgmt. and DPAS Materiel Management Mgmt. modules and to / from external systems. There are times where a DPAS Customer has an organization that has a requirement for multiple warehouses to manage different commodities that is not desired to have them commingled e.g. spare parts, tool crib, un-issued materiel with no avenue to acquire additional RICs. Note: The Department is running out of 3 character RICs with plans to replace the RIC with DoDAAC once logistics system are fully DLMS compliant (eliminate support for MILS format).

  
  Recommended:

  The proposed change will have DPAS implement the Planning / Maintenance Organization (Shop Service Center) name value as part of the warehouse business key. By including this value, DPAS will be able to use this value along with a RIC / DoDAAC to route DLMS transactions enabling an organization to have multiple warehouses without having each of them having a unique RIC / DoDAAC.

  
  Mission Critical:

  This change will enable an organization to have multiple DPAS warehouses which will enable them to have multiple Tool Cribs, Parts/Supply Rooms, Issuing locations, etc.

  
  Benefits:

  This SCR is identified as phase 1 of the DPAS effort to add flexibility to its Warehouse Mgmt. module. With this change DPAS customers will be better able to manage its different types of inventories / different physical locations within an organization. Additional efforts are planned to provide greater flexibility in configuring a DPAS warehouse.

  
  Frequency: Daily

  
  Users:

  Currently SPECWARCOM and the Air Force has multiple warehouse requirements within a organization.

The DPAS Program Management Office is proud to announce the name of the system will undergo a re-branding. The system that you have used for many years has grown into more than a Property Accountability system and is now being used by organizations outside of the Defense Department. To account for all capabilities within the system, the team has renamed the system to the Enterprise Logistics Management System (ELMS). Please bear with us as we update the support webpage and the training material over time. The update to the system is scheduled to be completed by Release 2025.2.4, which will deploy to the Production environment on 16 May.

 

The DPAS eLearning (including the IO upload center) and DPAS Support websites will be unavailable beginning Friday, May16th at 9pm ET, until Sunday May 18th 9pm ET due to the ELMS rebranding. Please plan accordingly. If you need assistance during this time, please contact the DPAS/ELMS Helpdesk at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Please note that as of Monday, May 5th, the URL for the SAT environment has changed to https://stage.elms.dla.mil - to stress, this is for the ELMS SAT environment, NOT the ELMS Production environment. We will post a separate message for the Production URL change when it becomes applicable.
