Approved DLMS Change 70 

DLMS Mapping for 

DLA Directed MRO (Requisition), DI Code C0A/C01 and 

DLA Directed MRO (Referral Order), DI Code CQA/CQ1 

1. ORIGINATOR: 

a. Service/Agency: Defense Logistics Agency

b. Originator: Supply PRC, Chair: Ellen Hilert, DLA DLMSO/J-673, 703-767-0676 (DSN 

427), ellen_hilert@hq.dla.mil

c. DLA Point of Contact: Mr. Bob Vitko

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Supply

3. REFERENCE: DLA Manual 4140.2, Vol II, Part 3

4. REQUESTED CHANGE: 

a. Title: DLMS Mapping for DLA Directed MRO (Requisition), DI Code C0A/C01 and 

DLA Directed MRO (Referral Order), DI Code CQA/CQ1

b. Description of Change: This change accommodates the Business Systems Modernization 

(BSM) SAP requirement for conveying directed MRO data. This change modifies the IC/DS 511R, 

Requisition, to transmit the data content of the DLA DI Code C0A/C01 and CQA/CQ1. The 

directed MRO passes from the Inventory Control Point (ICP) to the Distribution Standard System 

(DSS) storage activity. Inclusion of these data elements supports DAAS conversion from the 

DLMS transaction originated by BSM to the DLA unique transaction required by the receiver. The 

process addressed by this change is commonly referred to as “post-post.”

Description of “Post-Post” Transactions: A “post-post” issue involves accepting and updating 

records after the event (or issue) has occurred. In a typical example, a Call Center, Item Manager or 

Defense Distribution Center Customer Service receives a request or sales order off line. For various 

reasons, these requests are received through a transmission medium other than Defense Information 

Systems Network (DISN) (e.g., fax, phone, email, etc.). Directed MROs may be entered off line by 

the ICP Emergency Supply Operations Center as emergency “post-post” MROs when the total 

requisition quantity can be filled from a single DSS storage site, using the DSS-directed MRO entry 

process. The DSS process allows an ICP user to sign on to a DSS storage site to input directed 

MRO data online. Upon acceptance of the directed MRO, DSS will generate a “post-post” MRO 

transaction and route it through DAAS to the applicable ICP. Upon receipt of the “post-post” MRO 

transaction, the transaction will be processed in the ICP system as a directed “post-post” requisition 

or “post-post” referral order for the quantity, Ownership/Purpose Code, Condition, and location 

identified. No MRO will be generated.

c. Procedures: Add the following codes/notes to the 511R DLMS Supplement. 

# Location Revision Reason Federal IC 

1 Introductory 

DLMS Notes 

(Cover Page) 

Add note 3e:

3e. Data required to accommodate Componentunique transaction requirements (example: Cseries transactions). Data does not apply to 

DLSS transactions. 

Provides note of 

explanation for 

applicable IC/DS changes.

No change 

2 1/BR06/020 Open BR06, Add code and associated note:

Add code J: Record 

DLMS Note: Use with BR02 Code A0 to 

indicate the transaction set is a Post-Post 

Directed Materiel Release Order (MRO) 

(Requisition) (DLA DI Code C0A/C01). Use 

with BR02 Code BN to indicate the transaction 

set is a Post-Post Directed MRO (Referral) 

(DLA DI Codes CQA/CQ1). See introductory 

DLMS note 3e. 

Allows for a further 

breakdown of the BR02 

Transaction Type Code 

for identification of the 

specific type of 

transaction being 

transmitted. 

Federal IC revision 

required.

3 1/N1/70 Add code and associated note to N101:

Add code 77: Service Location 

DLMS Note: Use in post-post 

requisitions/referral orders (DLA DI Codes C01/ 

C0A, CQ1/CQA) to identify the storage location 

which shipped the requested material. See 

introductory DLMS note 3e. 

Identifies DSS storage 

location which shipped 

material satisfying a 

post-post requisition 

and post-post referral. 

Federal IC revision 

recommended.

4 2/N9/20 Add two codes and associated notes to N901: 

Add code KW: Certification 

DLMS Note: Use to identify DSS Personnel 

Code used to identify the ICP individual who 

initiated the DLA Directed MRO via the DSS 

Super MRO Interface. Use in post-post 

requisitions/referral orders (DLA DI Codes C01/ 

C0A, CQ1/CQA). See introductory DLMS note 

3e. 

Add code S5: Routing Instruction Number 

DLMS Note: Use to identify the DLA Output 

Routing Code used to identify the ICP 

individual who initiated the DLA Directed MRO 

via the Online Direct ICP to DSS MRO 

interface. Use in post-post requisitions/referral 

orders (DLA DI Codes C01/ C0A, CQ1/CQA). 

See introductory DLMS note 3e. 

Allows for 

identification of DSS 

personnel code and 

output routing code of 

ICP individual who 

initiated the DLA 

Directed MRO. 

Federal IC revision 

recommended.

# Location Revision Reason Federal IC 

5 2/LQ/140 Add one code and associated note to LQ01: 

Add code GA: Action Code. 

DLMS Note: Use to identify the Manager 

Forced/Direct Action Code in post-post 

requisitions/referral orders (DLA DI Codes C01/ 

C0A, CQ1/CQA). This is a DLA unique data 

element, meaningful to DLA only. The code 

source is identified as DLA Manual 4140.2. An 

ANSI data maintenance request is pending to 

request a new data element 1270 code qualifier 

assignment for this code. See introductory 

DLMS note 3e. 

Provides essential 

information. 

Federal IC revision 

recommended.

d. Alternatives: BSM could perpetuate use of the post-post transactions as currently 

formatted.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: This change supports component-level DLMS implementation 

for the DLA BSM effort. These data elements and codes were identified during a review of DLAunique transactions. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

a. Advantages: Supports component-level DLMS implementation.

b. Disadvantages: None identified.

7. IMPACT: 

a. Data Content/Procedures: May require minimal update to DAAS and DLA BSM 

mapping.

b. Publication(s): DoD 4000.25-M, DLMS, Federal IC 940R and corresponding DS. The 

DS revision requires corresponding revision of the Federal IC. All applicable revisions will be 

submitted to the EDISMC/Logistics Functional Work Group for coordination/approval.
