Approved Defense Logistics Management System Change (ADC) 130

Army/Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Unique Changes to 527R, 

Material Receipt, and 856S, Shipment Status, 

to Support Shipment and Receipt of Total Package Fielding (TPF)

Assets by Unit Materiel Fielding Points (UMFP)

1. ORIGINATOR:

 a. Service/Agency: United States (U.S.) Army and DLA

 b. Originators: U.S. Army Materiel Command, Operations Support 

Logistics Requirements, Asset Management & Distribution Division (AMCOPS-SLR), and 

Headquarters DLA, Distribution and Reutilization Policy, Distribution Management 

Division, Materiel Accountability and Distribution Policy Branch (J-3731). 

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Supply

3. REFERENCES: 

a. Army Regulation 725-50, http://www.usapa.army.mil/pdffiles/r725_50.pdf, see page 48, 

paragraph 3-60 and appendices noted therein

b. Department of the Army Pamphlet 700-142, 

http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/p700_142.pdf, see page 9, paragraphs 3-19 requisitioning 

(Fielding Command (FC) DODAAC); page 17, paragraph 3-27 materiel consolidation and 

staging; and page 19, paragraph 3-29 UMFP procedures

4. REQUESTED CHANGE:

 a. Title: Army/DLA Unique Changes to 527R, Material Receipt, and 856S, Shipment 

Status, to Support Shipment and Receipt of TPF Assets by UMFP

 b. Description of Change: TPF is the Army’s standard fielding method used to provide 

Army units a new/product improved materiel system and all its related support materiel at one 

time. The cognizant Army Fielding Command (FC) (e.g., materiel developer, subordinate 

command, program manager, etc.) requisitions material to be shipped to a DLA distribution 

center UMFP for consolidation into unit level (DOD Activity Address Code/project code) 

packages pending a coordinated release and shipment to a staging site, handoff site, or receiving 

unit. DLA operates UMFPs for the Army at the Distribution Depot, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, 

Distribution Depot, San Joaquin, California, and Distribution Depot, Red River, Texas. 

(1) For each item in a package, the UMFP acknowledges shipment by sending the FC (at 

a TPF-specific RIC) a non-Defense Logistics Standard System (DLSS), Army-unique Document

Identifier (DI) Code BAZ, UMFP Shipment Document. The Defense Automatic Addressing 

System Center (DAASC) furnishes an image of each BAZ to the U.S. Army Materiel Command 

(USAMC) Logistics Support Activity. The purpose of this proposed change is to modify DLMS 

Supplement 856S, Shipment Status, to accommodate BAZ-specific data to support Army legacy 
3

system requirements and to ensure commensurate changes are made to the DAASC translation 

mapping for the DS 856S. 

(2) The UMFP acknowledges receipt of each item by sending the FC (at a TPF-specific 

RIC) a non-DLSS, Army-unique DI Code BAY, UMFP Receipt Document. DAASC furnishes 

an image of each BAY to the USAMC Logistics Support Activity. The purpose of this proposed 

change is to modify DLMS Supplement 527R, Materiel Receipt, to accommodate BAY-specific 

data to support Army legacy system requirements and to ensure commensurate changes are made 

to the DAASC translation mapping for the DS 527R. 

 c. Procedures: 

(1) Department of Army Pamphlet 700-142, Instructions for Materiel Release, Fielding 

and Transfer, contains procedures for TPF processes. Army Regulation 725–50, Requisitioning, 

Receipt, and Issue System, prescribes the format for Army DI Code BAY (Table E-67). 

Although the DI Code BAY is similar to the DI Code D6_ receipt, Army DI Code BAY requires 

use of data not included in a DLSS receipt from a non-procurement source.

 (a) Revise DLMS 527R DS in accordance with (IAW) the following:

 d. Alternatives: None.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: These changes are required to ensure DLA Distribution 

Standard System (DSS) interface with Army TPF trading partners is uninterrupted as DSS 

migrates to the Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS). Army-unique non-DLSS DI 

Code BAZ and BAY must be documented in the appropriate DLMS Supplement and the 

commensurate DAASC translation mapping to support Army legacy system requirements and 

ensure continuity of TPF interfaces. 

6. ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES:

 a. Advantages: These changes will facilitate DSS DLMS migration and support Army 

legacy system requirements by preserving current interface requirements for Army TPF. 

 b. Disadvantages: Additional changes may be required when Army maps legacy TPF 

processes, transactional interface, and data content for incorporation in Army Enterprise 

Resource Planning (ERP) solutions (i.e., Logistics Modernization Program and Global Combat 

Support System-Army). 

7. IMPACT: DS 856S and DS 527R and associated DAASC mapping.
