Description
When the local and excess 1348-1A disposition mats are printed the Demilitarization and Controlled items Inventory Code fields are blank.
Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services requires for turn-in that Demilitarization and Controlled Items Inventory Codes populate the 1348-1A generated from the Accountable Property Systems of Record.
Items that have been cataloged with appropriate DEMIL and CIIC should populate the 1348-1A.
DPAS would populate the fields when printing a excess disposition 1348-1A mat.

Recommended
Cataloged data of DEMIL and CIIC codes be allowed to populate the disposition excess 1348-1A mat in DPAS.

Mission Critical
This is a mandated per DOD 4160.21 M Department of Defense Materiel Disposition Manual.

Benefits
This improves accountability.

Users
This will affect users of the DPAS warehousing program.

Completed - Release 4.0 - 29 April 2016

Description
Currently I am unable to upload documents to items using a mass update function.
I have a requisition document for 450 items.
I should be able to add this document to all of the items at once instead of individually. This functionality is available when conducting disposition/DRMO.

Recommended
Make the capability to add documents an available selection on the mass update page.

Mission Critical
Yes it is mandated. DON Office of Financial Operations (FMO) Plan of Action Milestones (PoAM) requires testable audit-ability for individual items. It isn't feasible for me to individually add a requisition document to each item individually.

Benefits
Greatly reduces time. I do not want to individually load this requisition document to each of these 450 items one at a time. It would save significant time to only add it once.

Users
Yes. When acquiring a group of similar items (a new enterprise computer contract) the property book officer could add required documents to DPAS in a short amount of time.

Request an attachment button be created to allow the inventory report to be added to a custodian record. ?Currently completed inventory records are retained out side the APSR.

Recommended solution:?Design an attachment process to add records to the custodian number so that the latest inventory could be attached. Would also recommend a field be added to the Inquiry/Asset Management/Custodian to permit identification of attachments against the custodian (yes/no).

No Longer Required.

DMA user, Anthony McGowan, has requested we make the Location field free form instead of having to use the browse box. It?s my understanding the reason the Location field has the mandatory browse is because we want to ensure it matches the Location established on the Location table Recommended solution: I am requesting we make the Location field an intellisense field. This will ensure the data is correct.

Description
Navy FIAR efforts require supporting documentation for acquisitions and dispositions.
Need capability to add multiple attachments to multiple assets at a single time.

Recommended
Create process during Asset Management / update to permit multiple attachments to be added to multiple assets.

Mission Critical
This is not mission critical or mandated but rather supports continuous process improvement regarding compliance with FIAR directives for document retention.

Benefits
Improves audit readiness by reducing the time spent to add documentation for to asset records.

Users
Yes to all Agencies.

Completed with SCR 00586.

Description
Field to capture license plate Expiration Date and flag Dashboard 30 days before expiration. (not mandatory)

Recommended
On Maintenance Asset Master Update>Details>Basic tab, create a field with calendar input drop-down for license plate Expiration Date. Then 30-days before expiration, post an Open Action on Asset Dashboard for License Plate Order.

Mission Critical
Since government license plates now expire, it is mission critical that agencies manage tag procurement in a timely manner and obtain new plates.

Benefits
Ensures assets maintain availability, reduces time, and improves Fleet Management practices.

No longer needed due to past enhancements.

Currently the DAI/DPAS joint end-to-end Acquire-to-Retire (A2R) solution does not include an automated process to transfer Construction-in-Progress (CIP) expenditure data from DAI to DPAS. ?The correct and timely entry of this data into DPAS is a key component to the overall end-to-end property solution in allowing DPAS to produce the transaction data that is interfaced from DPAS into DAI, via the existing DPAS to DAI Interface. Additionally, the proposed creation of a new automated interface of CIP data for Capital Projects from the DAI Projects module into the DPAS CIP module will assist both programs in meeting RPILM (Real Property and Installations Lifecycle Management) conditions and allow the DAI/DPAS joint A2R solution to comply with the ODUSD (I&E) DoD Real Property Accountability data requirement initiatives. Recommended solution:?Create an automated interface of expenditure data for Capital projects from the DAI Projects module into the DPAS CIP module via Defense Logistics Agency?s (DLA) Global Exchange (GEX).

Description
A short to long range (> 6 months) planning tool for non-DPAS access personnel to request multiple assets to meet a mission, approve the request/plan for assets (reason, cost and nbr of assets) and then release to Dispatch/Warehouse for Asset Allocation/Pick, Issue/SKO assembly and return.

Recommended Solution
Enhance functionality to incorporate the Scheduler as part of the Request process for multiple assets within Dispatch and Warehouse.

Mission Critical
Mission critical to meet the over 300 commitments daily to move personnel throughout training bases, planned SKO assembly and Unit Individual Issue.

Benefits
Accurately allocate assets required to meet movement mission.  Early Resource/financial planning to ensure timely asset availability to meet mission.

Users
Scheduler could be utilized by users within the M&U and Warehouse.

Same as SCR 722.

Partially Completed - Release 2021.3 - 10 Sept 2021

Completed – Release 2021.3.1 – 24 September 2021

Description
"Network Detection Tools" As their primary objective the DISA requests that an interface be established between their network configuration change management (NCCM) system and DPAS in order to better know which assets are connected to the network and exist in DPAS. Secondarily, know which software and firmware are installed on each device in order to better manage their software license compliance.

Recommended solution
This process begins on the customer's network when the customer executes their Network Discovery Tool, NDT. This is a function of the customers Network Configuration and Change Management (NCCM) system. The NDT may be run for a variety of reasons using any number of filters. It is not anticipated DPAS receive all assets/software, on every run. The results of the network discovery are passed through the GEX in the form of one or more XML files. Using GEX serves to isolate the systems and makes it a hardware/software independent interface.
This interface would work similar to the automated inventory or RTLS programs in that a file would be received by DPAS and routed to either a hardware auto reconciliation program or a software auto reconciliation program. The automated reconciliation program would log and produce results. Anomalies are then made available to the operator in order to resolve manually.
High Level Task:

1. Establish a relation between the NDT and the DPAS database
2. Establish a GEX connection
3. Establish the data elements and structure of the XML file
4. Add the necessary tables to support the reconciliation
5. Add an NDT Director program to route the hardware data and software data
6. Add an NDT Auto Reconciliation program to produce exceptions
7. Add an NDT Manual reconciliation program to allow the operator to match records not found in DPAS
8. Modify the pending transactions, asset receiving, asset update, asset transfer, asset disposal, to pass a transaction identity to each called sub-programs.
9. Modify the current inventory process to conduct NDT inventories.
10. Add NDT inquiry for assets on DPAS
11. Add NDT reporting for the auto reconciliation
12. Add NDT reporting of DPAS Assets
13. Conduct the development in at least two phases. The first of which is to accommodate the asset side of the interface, as this satisfies the primary requirement. In the second phase establish the interface to the existing IT Software management program.

Mission Critical
Yes, this is mission critical for the DISA. They are investing money and effort into modernizing their network management and need to keep DPAS as their accountable property system.

Benefits
This change allows DISA to gain greater visibility of their assets and would greatly reduce the time required to conduct manual inventories.

Users
Any user who can provide the necessary data elements from their NDT should be able to make use of this interface.

Description
WAWF Interface in Warehouse - This was part of the original Warehouse Requirements but was delayed due to priority. The requirements for the interface are identical to the process utilized in the Property Accountability.

Recommended
Review what PA is bringing in from the WAWF to ensure all data is contained for Wshe DB. ** need to determine if its a due-in from on loan or a due-in from receipt.

Description
There is no document register in DPAS. Without the document register, the accountable officer cannot reconcile the accountable documents. Document numbers now can be created without a registry which had been the baseline for the regulatory requirement to maintain supporting documentation. Also without the register, the accountable officer cannot reconcile the due-in since this was part of the Legacy DPAS register.

Recommended
Create an automated document register as it was in Legacy DPAS.

Mission Critical
Mandated
AR 710-2 Chapter 2-5 Organizations and activities using an automated property book accounting system are not required to keep manual records that duplicate information
available from the automated system (such as the property book document register and due-in suspense file).
AR 710-2 Chapter 2-6 j. Document registers will include the essential elements of data listed below:
(1) Element and activity keeping the register.
(2) Page number.
(3) Document number.
(4) Document sent to.
(5) NSN/CAGE/PN/MCN.
(6) Nomenclature.
(7) Request for.
(8) Priority designator.
(9) Initials of authenticating authority.
(10) Quantity (requested, due-in, received or turned in).
(11) Date completed.

Benefits
Without having a document register within DPAS, it reduces production time since we are forced to utilize a manual document register.  With an automated register directly in DPAS, it provides 100% visibility and accuracy for each document number created for all transactions that supports accountability.  This also provides a tool to reconcile the supporting documents to insure every entry in the property book is supported by completed documentation.

Users
Yes, it affects all users within the Army that uses AR 710-2 as their baseline to maintain accountability and to meet regulatory requirements.

Description
There are DPAS tables shared between modules (Address and Utilization) and this request is to include Attribute as well.

Recommended Solution
Once the Attribute Template is selected in the Catalog, make it available as a tab in the M&U Maintenance Asset Master.
This will allow M&U users to utilize Attributes for fields maintenance related. Also provide a view of the data to Dispatch.

This data is needed to select the correct vehicle.
Example of an existing system is attached showing make, model, fuel type, mileage, etc. Create a screen for M&U to modify the Attributes and add to Role(s).

Completed - Release 3.2 - 06 January 2016

Description
The requirement exists for the system to allow users to view the current outstanding returnable items list, and all historical issue and return receipts with emphasis on the current receipts.
This is a big deal for the system to have due to the fact that users will often challenge what they have issued to them. It is imperative that the system users be able to show Marines where they signed for items, and what they signed for. Must be able to see when the Marine Came in, and all the details around the visit.

Recommended
It is recommended that a way to view historical issue and return results, per user, be developed in order to allow users to show customers their customer history.

Mission Critical
This is a critical change in order to further improve this overall. This change will benefit issue process.

Benefits
This change will benefit all users and aid in any form of causative research.

Users
All users involved in issue/return processes will be affected by this.
