ADC 104 

Addition of RI of the Activity Originating the MRO/LRO/DRO 

to the 2D Symbol on the IRRD (DD Form 1348-1A) 

1. ORIGINATOR: 

a. Service/Agency: NAVAL SUPPLY SYSTEM COMMAND

b. Originator: Michael J. Morra, NAVSUP

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: 

 Primary: Supply

3. REFERENCES: 

a. DLMSO memorandum dated January 14, 2003, subject: Approved DLMS Change 

(ADC) 89, Inclusion of Supplemental Information for Unique Item Tracking/Serialized Item 

Management (UIT/SIM) in the Two-Dimensional Symbol on the Issue Release/Receipt 

Document (IRRD) (DD Form 1348-1A) 

b. DLMSO memorandum dated December 5 2001, subject: Approved DLMS Change 

(ADC) 44, Two-dimensional Symbol on Issue Release/Receipt Document (DD Form 1348-1A) 

4. REQUESTED CHANGE: 

a. Title: Addition of RI of the Activity Originating the Order MRO/LRO/DRO to the 2D 

Symbol on the IRRD (DD Form 1348-1A)

b. Description of Change: 

(1) ADC 44 (reference 3.a.) added a two-dimensional (2D) symbol (Portable Data File 

(PDF) 417) that included the current linear bar code data elements plus additional elements to 

the IRRD. ADC 89 (reference 3.b.) incorporated additional data elements for the purpose of 

unique item identification/management/tracking. This proposal adds an additional data field to 

the 2D symbol to reflect the RI of the activity originating the MRO/LRO/DRO, which is 

currently carried in rp 67-69. 

(2) For administrative purposes and for clarification, this change also provides an 

updated MILSTRIP Appendix 1.35, IRRD (DD Form 1348-1A) with Three-Of-Nine Bar Coding 

and Two-Dimensional (PDF-417) Symbol. The revised appendix provides a new sample form 

produced by DLA Distribution Standard System (DSS). The information contained in the 

second column is expanded to reflect the applicable ANSI MH10.8.2 category and description. 

Administrative changes are also provided. (Yellow highlighting in the label format indicates 

changes proposed in the PDC. Blue highlighting indicates further changes resulting from 

staffing of the PDC.) 
c. Procedures: Modify documentation and insert additional Data Identifier 06 so that the 

existing RI is described and a second RIC field is added (see enclosure for full descriptive 

information). 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: 

Navy requires the capability to electronically select the RI of the activity originating the 

MRO/LRO/DRO from the IRRD (DD Form 1348-1A). 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

 a. Advantages: This change will enable the Navy to enhance their compliance with 

Material Receipt Acknowledgement requirements by: 

• Assuring that Ashore and Afloat customers will be consistently creating DRAs in a 

correct format 

• Eliminating manual intervention required to purge accumulating DRF transactions 

 b. Disadvantages: DLMS users must expend resources to modify, release and implement 

software to print a revised bar code in all DD Forms 1348-1A. 

7. IMPACT: 

 Data Content/Procedures: This change simply requests the addition of data from rp 67- 69 

to PDF 417 2D barcode. Publications affected include: 

• Component publications, as required 

• DoD 4000.25-1-M, MILSTRIP and DoD 4000.25M DLMS 

• MIL-STD-129
