MEMORANDUM FOR: SUPPLY PROCESS REVIEW COMMITTEE (PRC) MEMBERS

SUBJECT: ADC DLMS Change 94, Revision to DLMS Supplement 869A, to Support

Functionality of MILSTRIP DI Code AFY, Followup (Request for AAC of Initial

Transportation Shipping Activity) (Supply)

The attached change to 4000.25-M, Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS), is

approved for implementation. This change is required to support continued operations in a

DLMS/DLSS/DLSS-like environment. The updated DLMS Supplement will be posted to the

DLMSO web site (http://www.dla.mil/i-6/dlmso/ICs/Default.htm) within 30 days from the above date

for implementation planning.

The attached change to DLMS will be incorporated into the DLMS manual/supplement, based

upon the effective or availability date to be determined. DAAS and DLA have advance authorization

to employ these procedures under Business Systems Modernization (BSM); however, configuration

management/version control procedures must be observed allowing for sequential implementation to

prevent rejection.

Addressees may direct questions to the DLMSO points of contact, Ms. Ellen Hilert, Chair,

Supply Process Review Committee, 703-767-0676, DSN 427-0676, or e-mail: ellen.hilert@,dla.mil

or Ms. Vermella Savage, MILSTRIP System Administrator, 703-767-0674, DSN 427-0674, or

Approved DLMS Change 94

Revision to DS 869A to Support Functionality of MILSTRIP DI Code AFY, Followup (Request 

for AAC of Initial Transportation Shipping Activity)

1. ORIGINATOR:

a. Service/Agency: DLMSO

b. Sponsor: Supply PRC, Chair: Ellen Hilert, DLA J-673, Defense Logistics Management 

Standards Office (DLMSO), 703-767-0676 (DSN 427), ellen_hilert@hq.dla.mil

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Primary: Supply

3. REFERENCE: 4000.25-1-M, MILSTRIP

4. REQUESTED CHANGE:

a. Title: Revision to DS 869A, to Support Functionality of MILSTRIP DI Code AFY, Followup 

(Request for AAC of Initial Transportation Shipping Activity)

b. Description of Change: This change incorporates new DLMS notes supporting the 

functionality of MILSTRIP DI Code AFY, Followup (Request for AAC of Initial Transportation Shipping 

Activity). This will allow for DAAS conversion of DI Code AFY to the DS 869A during DLSS/DLMS 

transition. This capability was not incorporated in the baseline DLMS because it was intended that the 

DLMS shipment status transaction always provide the AAC of the initial shipping activity. However, since 

most customers have not implemented the DLMS, the followup transaction must still be supported. This 

change will allow DLA to receive customer followup requests in the DLMS format. 

c. Procedures: 

Add the following notes to the 869A, Requisition Inquiry/Supply Assistance:

# Location Revision Reason Federal IC

1 1/BSI03/020 Add the following new DLMS note 2 to qualifier PO:

transaction contains a request for identification of the initial 

transportation shipping activity (equates to DI AFY).
