Transportation, Section C7.7.3. MAPAD Address Changes.

4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change adds “Date Last Validated” field to MAPAD. 

This date will be used to ensure the specific Military Assistance Program Address Code (MAPAC) is 

reviewed on a periodic basis.

b. Background: The DSCA Manual 5105.38-M, Chapter 7, Transportation, C7.7.3. MAPAD 

Address Changes strongly recommends that Foreign Military Sales (FMS) purchasers conduct an 

annual review of all MAPAD addresses for accuracy and work with the Implementing Agency to 

delete MAPACs that are no longer required. Recommend addition of a “Date Last Validated” field to 

the MAPAD to help track the last review date of each MAPAD entry.

c. Describe Approved Change in Detail: 

(1) DLA Transaction Services will: 

(a) Add “Date Last Validated” data element to MAPAD database.

(b) Add “Date Last Validated” field to MAPAD update application: 

1. The use of this field is optional; however, the date must be a valid date 

and cannot be a future date.

2. Adding or changing “Date Last Validated” will not trigger an update to 

the MAPAD batch process (unless other changes are made to the record).

3. Adding or changing “Date Last Validated” will not trigger a change to 

the Effective Date (unless other changes are made to the record).

(c) Add “Date Last Validated” to DAASINQ.

(d) Add “Date Last Validated” to eDAASINQ. “Date Last Validated” should be a 

searchable field in eDAASINQ. Search criteria will be:

1. Is date missing?

2. Is Date within a Begin – End date range?

(e) Add “Date Last Validated” to downloads and queries.

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: Add the following new paragraphs to DLM 

4000.25, Volume 6, Chapter 3 after C3.17 and C3.28, respectively.

(1) C3.18. DATE LAST VALIDATED FOR FOREIGN MILITARY SALES. This is a 

date when the MAPAC was last validated for accuracy. 

(2) C3.29. DATE LAST VALIDATED FOR GRANT AID. This is the date when the 

MAPAC was last validated for accuracy. 

e. Proposed Transaction Flow: No changes to transaction flows.

f. Alternatives: None identified.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: Currently, FMS Purchasers and Implementing Agencies are lacking a 

mechanism for tracking the last review date of each MAPAD entry. The effective date is often utilized 

as a work around, but requires the MAPAD entry to be updated regardless of whether a change is 

needed to show a new effective date.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: The modification will allow the International Logistics Control Office 

Central Service Points to track and re-validate existing MAPACs that do not require changes.

b. Disadvantages: None identified.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: This change should be 

completed within 60 days of the ADC issue date.

8. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH IMPLEMENTATION 

OF THIS CHANGE: This is a cost avoidance change; however, the exact costs are unknown. The 

“Date Last Validated” field will be used to improve the ability to track potential outdated addresses, 

resulting in reductions in misdirected freight.
