  Description:

  When equipment is fielded to the tactical Army via a DPAS TPF function the inventory is decreased prior to the GCSS-A user bringing it to record in their system. The PM must have a way to validate that all equipment they have issued to the GCSS-A customer is brought to record. For ASA ALT to do that today DPAS must pull a report from the back end of DPAS to provide the data to ASA ALT.  DPAS provides viewers within MM that show the status of the various phases of a TPF (PMRs, Issues, ACK/NCK status, intransit status, etc.), but there is no consolidated view.  Having to run a series of queries, then combine the data to determine the status of the TPFs is time consuming that exceeds resource availability.  ASA ALT personnel need to be able to easily determine the status so any issue can be quickly resolved.  The PA module provides no method for viewing the status of a TPF.

   

  Recommended:

  It is requested DPAS produce a report that a DPAS User can request that provides a summary view by Document Nbr for each TPF for a given period of time (date range) and be able to select All, Open, Closed.  The report should be produced by ICP for Materiel Management Fieldings and by Accountable UIC for Property Accountability Fieldings. There should be an option to request the details by document nbr (Lot, UII and Serial Nbr) that were issued.  The report should mirror the current extracts that DPAS is providing ASA(ALT).    An enterprise report "ASA(ALT) level" would also be beneficial.  An enterprise report (PA and MM) would enable management to have metrics related to the TPF program without expending resources to running numerous reports, then combining the data.

   

  Mission Critical:

  ASA(ALT) utilizes DPAS to manage fieldings.  The DPAS user must be dependent and have access to all data required to ensure TPF transactions are closed out in a timely manner.  Expecting DPAS personnel to pull the report from them daily is unreasonable.

   

  Benefits:

  The DPAS user can track TPF transactions in real-time and take corrective action immediately resolve.

   

  Frequency: Daily

   

  Users:

  All ASA(ALT) programs will use this capability.  The report would be also beneficial to USSOCOM who performs fieldings to the special forces.
