Proposed DLMS Change 97 

DLMS Mapping for Standard SDR/DOD WebSDR Output, DS 842A/W 

1. ORIGINATOR: 

a. Service/Agency: Defense Logistics Agency

b. Sponsor: Supply Process Review Committee, Chair: Ellen Hilert, DLA DLMSO/J-673, 

Defense Logistics Management Standards Office (DLMSO), 703-767-0676 (DSN 427), 

ellen.hilert@dla.mil

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Primary: Supply

3. REFERENCES: 

a. The DOD WebSDR is an internet-based Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR) submission 

program currently under development. Images of all input screens are posted at 

https://day2k1.daas.dla.mil/websdr/demo_files/demo.htm. To obtain access to the test version of 

the system contact the PDC sponsor. The current implementation goal for Phase I of the DOD 

WebSDR is October 2003.

b. The official guidance for submission of SDRs is published in DLAI 4140.55/AR 735-11-2/ 

SECNAVINST 4355.18A/AFJMAN 23-215. The joint service publication is available at 

http://www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/Manuals/Default.htm. 

c. DOD 4140.1-R, May 23, 2003, DOD Supply Chain Materiel Management Regulation. 

This regulation requires automated SDR processing. This regulation is available at 

http://www.acq.osd.mil/log/logistics_materiel_readiness/organizations/sci/assetts/executive_info/dr

id/p41401r.pdf. Refer to paragraph C3.8.1.6.4. 

4. REQUESTED CHANGE: 

a. Title: DLMS Mapping for Standard SDR/DOD WebSDR Output, DS 842A/W 

b. Description of Change: This change provides a means to transmit complaint transactions 

based upon the Standard Form (SF) 364, Supply Discrepancy Report, originated in the DOD 

WebSDR application to the appropriate action activity/distribution copy addressee using a standard 

DLMS ANSI ASC X12 format. The DS, referred to here as 842A/W, Standard SDR/DOD 

WebSDR, is provided at Enclosure 1. This DS 842A/W uses ANSI ASC X12 Version 4030. It is 

also the approved standard SDR EDI transaction exchanges. 

c. Procedures: All data which may be input using the DOD WebSDR application is 

mapped to the DS 842A/W. Component’s ability to interpret/process this data as reflected in the 

DS may vary. Implementing Components should allow for identification of data not specifically 

mapped to their automated processing systems within a narrative remarks section.

d. Alternatives: DAASC will employ a Component user defined files for web interface on 

request until such time as Component implementation of the DS is possible.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: This change is provided to support DOD implementation of the 

DLMS. Data requirements are specifically modeled to the SDR/SF 364, Report of Discrepancy, 

as implemented by the DOD WebSDR program. Additionally, this DS provides a greatly 

simplified use of the complex 842 transaction as previously represented in the Version 4010 

Federal Implementation Convention (IC) 842. This DS contains the specific enhanced product 

quality deficiency report (PQDR) data which may be reported by Security Assistance customers as 

an SDR. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

a. Advantages: Supports DLMS implementation. Reduces complexity for implementing 

Components. Provides foundation of inter-Service/Agency communication of SDRs as required 

under reference 3c.

b. Disadvantages: None identified. Phased implementation will require long-term planning 

and modification of Service/Agency systems.

7. IMPACT: 

a. Data Content/Procedures: The capability to provide DOD WebSDR output in the DLMS 

format must be incorporated in the DOD WebSDR design. This effort is ongoing.

b. Publication(s): 

(1) The new Federal IC 842A serves as the basis for the DS 842A/W. 

(2) DOD 4000.25-M, DLMS

(3) Joint Component Guidance (reference 3b) will be updated to reference this EDI 

guidance.
