AP2.10.4.1.2 Code B – Bill to activity in block 27 of the DTID. If signal code B is present 

and no bill-to activity is provided in block 27, the bill-to office will default to the activity in rp 30-

35.

AP2.10.4.1.3 Code C – Bill to activity in rp 52 and 53. If signal code C is present and no 

bill-to activity is identified on the fund code table, the bill-to office will default to the activity in rp 

30-35.

AP2.10.4.1.4 Code L – Bill to activity in rp 52 and 53. If signal code L is present and no 

bill-to activity is identified on the fund code table, the bill-to office will default to the activity in rp 

30-35.

AP2.10.4.2 Only the above signal codes are applicable on the DTID for hazardous materiel or 

waste turn-in. Processing under signal codes C and L are redundant to allow perpetuation of 

legacy system procedures.

AP2.10.5. When the signal code is C or L, an additional use for the fund code is to indicate the bill-to office. 

 The fund code to bill-to office conversion is prescribed in the fund code appendix of DoD 400.25-7-M 

(MILSBILLS).

POSITION(S) ENTRY AND INSTRUCTIONS

Signal 51 For hazardous material and waste turn-ins, 

enter Signal Code L the applicable signal 

code, otherwise leave blank. Signal Codes 

A, B, C, and L are authorized; if using 

Signal Code B, bill-to office must be 

identified in block 27. Refer to Appendix 

AP2.10, Signal Codes, for bill-to 

identification rules associated with DTID.

Fund 52-53 For hazardous material and waste turn-ins, 

enter the MILSBILLS fund code designating 

the fund to be charged.

BLOCK(S) ENTRIES

27 This block may contain additional data including bar coding for internal use. Enter data in 

this block as required by the shipping activity or the DRMO receiving the material. 

When data is entered in this block, it will be clearly identified. For hazardous material 

and waste turn-ins, enter the DoDAAC of the bill-to office (required for Signal Code 

B), the contract line item number (CLIN) for the item, and the total cost of the disposal. 

This block will contain both coding and clear-text information to identify Flight Safety 

Critical Aircraft Parts (FSCAP) shipments to DRMOs using Criticality Code E or F as 

follows: AFSCAP E - Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Part-Nuclear Hardened@ or 

AFSCAP F - Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Part.”

(3) Revise MILSTRIP Appendix AP3.13, Disposal Release Order, Followup, or 

Cancellation, (DI Code A5J) as follows:

FIELD 

LEGEND

RECORD 

POSITION(S) ENTRY AND INSTRUCTIONS

Signal 51 Enter applicable code if required: otherwise leave blank. For 

hazardous materiel or waste, use Signal Code A, B, C, 

or L. For Signal Code B, identify the bill-to activity to 

be included on the DTID, Block 27, using an off-line 

communication with the activity to which the DRO is 

directed.

Fund 52-53 2 Enter fund code to be credited with proceeds from sale by 

DRMO. If no credit is desired, leave blank. For 

hazardous materiel or waste, this will be the bill-to 

fund code for reimbursable actions associated with 

disposal.

2For subsistence transactions, rp 22 and 52-53 will contain the date packed/expiration date indicator code, 

as defined [text deleted – editorial correction] in MILSTRAP, appendix B20. 

(4) Complementary MILSBILLS revisions will be addressed separately, if required. The 

Finance Chair will investigate whether there is a need to further explain the billing interface. When the 

DTID contains Signal Code B and a bill-to office in block 27, the resulting bill will contain a Signal 

Code B and the bill-to office identification in the supplemental address field.

4. REASON FOR CHANGE: 

a. The original financially driven requirement for the DTID signal code (required for reimbursement of 

disposal costs for hazardous material and waste) was developed in1991 as a joint MILSTRIP and MILSBILLS 

change to use only Signal Code B. Later, a change was processed in MILSTRIP to restrict the DTID to Signal 

Code L. This change was not supported by DRMS financially. Rather than ask MILSTRIP to roll back the 

change, DRMS adjusted their procedures to accept signal code L along with the previous B. In a recent 

DRMS system upgrade, they revised their processes to allow for accepting additional signal codes. The 

Finance PRC has concurred with the use of additional signal codes.

b. Documented procedures do not provide the flexibility required to support appropriate financial 

interfaces resulting from customer turn-in of hazardous material or waste. Additionally, these instructions to not 

conform to current DRMO processing resulting in misunderstandings, miscommunications, and, potentially, 

improper processing of the bill. Current instructions for completion of the DTID are inadequate in that they 

authorize only the Signal Code L. There is an additional conflict which arises from a lack of clarifying 

procedures for the signal code when it is used on a turn-in. Traditional use of the signal code related to 

requisition or materiel returns processing requires the availability of the supplemental address field. In the case 

of the DTID, the supplemental address field contains the designated consignee DRMO and, therefore, cannot 

be used to identify the bill-to office. The bill-to office is instead located in one of the text blocks on the DTID. 

In order for customers to properly fill out the DTID, MILSTRIP instructions are expanded to cover additional 

signal codes and to correctly identify the resulting financial processes. Further, the traditional use of Signal Code 

L would point toward the fund code for identification of the bill-to activity. This process would not be suitable 

for a large number of customers who do not have an established fund code/bill-to activity link on the fund code 

table. In such a case, the DTID would not be acceptable, although in compliance with the MILSTRIP rule to 

use a Signal Code L.

5. ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES: Provides proper supporting documentation for existing policies 

and procedures. Removes incorrect guidance which may result in improper or incomplete financial interfaces

and confusion among customers. There are no known disadvantages.
