Revised Supply Status Procedures to Support “Virtual Receipt” and 

Requisition Alert Processes under Navy BRAC SS&D/IMSP – Intermediate 

Supply Status

1. ORIGINATOR: Defense Logistics Agency, DLA J-331, 703-325-1924 (DSN 427)

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Primary: Supply/Logistics

3. REFERENCE: 

a. Approved Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) Change (ADC) 379, New 

and Revised Supply Status Procedures to Support “Virtual Receipt” and Requisition Alert 

Processes under Navy BRAC SS&D/IMSP, dated June 15, 2010.

b. ADC 381, Procedures, and Additional Data Content supporting Requisitions, 

Requisition Alerts, and Unit of Use Requirements under Navy BRAC SS&D/IMSP, dated July 1, 

2010, as revised.

4. APPROVED CHANGE:

a. Overview: This change enhances procedures implemented under ADC 379 

(Reference 3.a.) to include additional supply status requirements to Navy BRAC SS&D sites. 

The new supply status procedures will provide greater visibility to the Naval Shipyard (NSY) or 

Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) in response to Navy requisition alert transactions (Reference 3.b.)

in three situations: 

(1) Pre-shipment Notification. DLA will provide status when materiel requisitioned

by DLA (on behalf of the Navy) from another Service/Agency source of supply (SoS) has been 

processed for shipment. DLA will provide supply status to the NSY or FRC when applicable

status is provided to DLA from the SoS. 

(2) Pre-protection Notification. DLA will provide status when material is being 

moved from the local distribution depot to the industrial activity (IA) or is re-identified from unit 

of issue to unit of use to support the Navy requirement. Materiel will be protected upon 

confirmation completion of this action. 

(3) Mission Support Materiel (MSM) Allocation Notification. DLA will provide 

status to indicate a request for MSM has been processed by DLA and allocation of assets has 

occurred; no protection under the requisition alert document number has been applied. DLA will 

issue materiel upon receipt of a funded order.

b. Background: 

(1) Prior to the implementation of 2005 BRAC system changes FRC and NSY sites 

controlled warehouse functions within the Navy system, to include receipt and issue of materiel. 

This allowed for individual tracking by line items, the materiel receipts, and issues, as well as 

posting all financial updates required in Defense Industrial Financial Management System 

(DIFMS). When DLA became the materiel provider and Distribution Standard System (DSS)

was installed as the warehouse system of record, this functionality needed to be continued to 

allow Navy system the ability to update financial postings. 

(2) This change supplements and modifies ADC 379 procedures, but does not 

replace ADC 379 in its entirety. ADC 379 authorized use of P-series supply status codes for

DLA, Inter-Service, and GSA transactions, excluding customer asset reporting transactions. 

New procedures and associated supply status codes were established supporting Navy BRAC 

IAs. This change does not impact the ADC 379 procedures applicable to the use of the supply 

status based on local manifest. The approved procedures applicable to DLA Enterprise Business 

System (EBS) requisition alert supply status procedures are reiterated in this proposal to provide 

context for the additional requirements for intermediate supply status. ADC 379A procedures 

are highlighted in gray with significant changes identified subsequent to staffing highlighted in 

yellow.

(3) Currently, Navy users lack visibility of the true status on their requisition alerts 

because no supply status is provided by DLA between the initial receipt of the requisition alert 

by DLA and the subsequent receipt and protection of the materiel. Because the initial supply 

status provided by DLA is BB Status, the Navy users are not aware of subsequent actions taken 

by DLA to fill the requirement. Actions to fill the request include materiel being requisitioned

from another Service/Agency SoS, re-identification to unit of use, or re-warehousing materiel 

from the distribution depot. Instead, the requisition appears to be in an extended DLA 

processing status (possibly back ordered). 

c. Detailed Procedures: Process for Requisition Alert Supply Status

(1) The DLA EBS will provide Supply Status (DLMS 870S/Document Identifier 

Code AE_) when the requisition alert is initially processed. Upon processing, EBS will provide 

BB status as the initial status. If EBS determines unprotected stock is available at the co-located 

Distribution Depot site, a Warehouse Service Request (DLMS 940S) transaction requesting rewarehousing and protection of the materiel to the DSS IA Work Site will be generated. DSS will 

provide a Warehouse Service Advice (DLMS 943A) notifying DLA that the requested action has 

been completed (or not completed). EBS will update its records with protection data and 

generate supply status with PQ status. The PQ status will indicate that the materiel requested has 

been protected in support of the site’s requirement based on the agreed-to business rules. Status 

will be sent to DAAS for MILSTRIP distribution. 

(2) If materiel is available within the DLA network, EBS will take internal actions 

to move materiel to the co-located distribution depot in support of the open requisition alert. 

This results in a redistribution order. When EBS determines unprotected materiel is available at 

the co-located site as a result of the above action, a Warehouse Service Request (DLMS 940S) 

for re-warehousing and protection will be generated to DSS. DSS will provide a Warehouse

Page 3

Service Advice (DLMS 943A) notifying DLA that the requested action has been completed (or 

not completed). EBS will update its records with protection data and generate supply status with 

PQ status. The PQ status will indicate that the materiel requested has been protected in support 

of the site’s requirement based on the agreed to business rules. Status will be sent to DAAS for 

MILSTRIP distribution. 

(3) If the item does not meet EBS stocking criteria, EBS will determine the correct 

method of support and SoS based on the data contained in the requisition alert and the associated 

materiel master record. EBS will take supply action to generate a DLA requisition to the 

applicable SoS (Military Service or Agency, such as General Services Administration (GSA)), 

generate a DLA procurement action, or initiate a local manufacturing request to the appropriate 

NSY or FRC based on their capabilities. Any subsequent supply or shipment status provided by 

another SoS will be used by EBS to update its requisition status. 

(4) If a procurement action or local manufacturing request is generated, the 

requisition alert will be updated with BZ status. When the award and contract information is 

updated, the requisition alert supply status will be updated to BV status. Status will be sent to 

DAAS for MILSTRIP distribution.

(5) EBS will use the supply status provided by the other Service/Agency SoS to 

generate an intermediate Supply Status PS to the customer. Supply Status PS will be based upon 

any supply status that indicates the SoS has accepted the requisition for processing, such as BA 

Status (item being processed for release); BB (back ordered with estimated ship date (ESD); or 

BD Status (delayed for verification). This intermediate status will include the ESD when 

provided to DLA by the SoS. The Supply Status PS will be recognized as “pre-shipment” status 

since it will be provided prior to the receipt and subsequent protection of the materiel within the 

IA. EBS will send the intermediate supply status to DLA Transaction Services for Defense 

Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) MILSTRIP distribution, e.g., routing to appropriate NSY 

or FRC system. 

(6) In instances when a DLA requisition is generated to another SoS and EBS 

receives a rejection status, the rejection status will not be posted to the NSY or FRC requisition 

alert in EBS. However, EBS will interpret the rejection status as the need to initiate a different 

method support and will take appropriate action to fill the open requirement against the 

requisition alert via a new procurement or local manufacturing request, if appropriate. When that 

supply action is completed, the NSY or FRC requisition alert in EBS will be updated with the 

new supply status. Status will be sent to DAAS for MILSTRIP distribution.

(7) Shipment Status (DLMS 856S/AS_), as it applies to the DLA requisition to the 

other services will not update the NSY or FRC requisition alert in EBS. 

(8) When the materiel is received, EBS actions will result in a re-warehousing 

(DLMS 940S) and/or protection actions to the co-located DD, causing movement of materiel to 

the IA worksite and protection of the materiel in EBS according to the business rules. EBS will 

provide an intermediate Supply Status, PP to the customer. Supply Status PP will be based on a

re-warehousing request (DLMS 940S) or asset reclassification request (DLMS 846A) from EBS 

to the DSS. The Supply Status PP will be recognized as “pre-protection” status since it will be

Page 4

provided prior to the protection of the materiel within the IA. When the re-warehousing and 

protection action or asset reclassification is reported as complete by DSS, EBS will protect the 

materiel and create a Supply Status, DLMS 870S/AE_ with Supply Status PQ to FRC/NSY as 

applicable to update Material Access Technology (MAT)/Materiel Resource Planning (MRP) II 

files. 

(9) In instances when a requisition alert received from the IA is requesting MSM,

EBS but will take no action to request protection to DSS. EBS would respond with a new 

Supply Status PM to communicate the requirement for MSM has been allocated to the MSM and

recorded for planning purposes but that PQ status should be expected and no protection will be

applied. The requisition alert in PM status will be used within EBS for MSM forecasting and 

level setting purposes. The requirement would remain in MAT as sourced to MSM until the 

material is required to be issued. 

d. Revisions to DOD 4000.25 Manuals: Numerous ADCs have been published in 

support of Navy BRAC Retail SS&D/IMSP and Marine Corps BRAC Storage and Distribution 

Interface (SDI). As noted in those ADCs, the DLA J33 Supply PRC representatives are 

responsible for coordination with the appropriate DLA, Navy, and Marine Corps offices for 

development and submission of documentation of the DLMS procedures associated with BRAC 

for the DLMS manual. With the recent implementation of the BRAC associated changes, it is 

required that the DLMS procedural guidance be provided as soon as possible. The DLMS 

manual is being prepared for re-issuance in June 2012 and the cut-off date for new content is 

approximately May 10. Request DLA J33 provide the BRAC IMSP SS&D and SDI procedures 

as a separate chapter for the DLMS manual, Volume 2, Supply, with cross-references identified 

for placement within the related functional area guidance in MILSTRIP and MILSTRAP.

e. Alternatives: None identified.

f. Comment Resolution: See Enclosure 1 for concurrence/comments resulting from 

staffing.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: Navy users require visibility of status between the initial 

backorder status and the subsequent receipt and protection of the materiel. This change fills the 

gap by informing the Navy that the requisition alert is being processed for shipment by another 

Service/Agency SoS. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: EBS, MAT, MRP II, and DLA Transaction Services will be able to 

comply with DLMS standards for the BRAC IMSP Spiral 2 processes. MAT and MRPII end 

users are better informed of the status of the requisition alert in support of a specific maintenance 

job. 

b. Disadvantages: Requires system updates.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: May 2012.

Enclosure 1, Comment Resolution

Originator Response/Comment Disposition

1. DLA Concur with comment. Based on events that have occurred 

in the past three days, we will need to revisit this and ask 

for additional status code. 

1) We need to inform the BRAC sites when we request 

materiel be moved from the depot to the IA (use of DLMS 

940S) or reclassify to unit of use with protection (use of 

DLMS 846A).

2) We need to provide status to the BRAC sites when 

material is requested as MSM.
