4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change:

(1) Additional Data Content to Support DLA Disposition Services FMS 

Requisitioning: Under Distribution Disposition Process Alignment (DDPA), data content will need 

to be included on all DLMS 940R Materiel Releases configured for Materiel Release Order (MRO) 

and Redistribution Orders (RDO) (also known as Stock Transfer Order (STO)) inbound to DLA’s 

Distribution Standard System (DSS) from DLA Enterprise Business System (EBS) to indicate the

property is frozen for an FMS case pending approval and submission of the associated requisition. 

When redistribution between DLA Disposition Field Offices is required, EBS will send a DLMS 

527D Prepositioned Materiel Receipt (PMR) to the receiving field office including a new indicator 

signifying the materiel is frozen for the FMS case. The field office will perpetuate this indicator to 

the DLMS 527R Receipt. Additionally, this change modifies the DLMS 527D, 527R, 856S, 940R
Attachment, ADC 1156

Page 2

940S,943A, and 945A to support DLA Disposition Services inclusion of the SC Customer Code, SC 

Implementing Agency Code, and SC Case Designator used to construct the FMS Case Number.

(2) Use of the DLMS 940S Materiel Staging Request for DLA Disposition 

Services Functionality: The DLMS 940S will be used as a means of passing FMS freeze and 

unfreeze information from DLA Disposition Services (using EBS) to the DLA Disposition Services 

Field Office (using DSS). This will require a new Service Performed Code for an FMS 

freeze/unfreeze action as well as two new Event Identification Codes indicating which action applies. 

Additionally, the data elements used to construct the FMS Case Number associated to the property 

being frozen or unfrozen will need to be passed on each transaction. DLA Disposition Services will 

also need to identify the warehouse location for the FMS asset. Currently, DLA Disposition Services

does not have a systematic method to communicate freeze information from EBS to DSS. This 

change will allow DLA Disposition Services Field Offices to receive freeze information from 

headquarters, relocate the property within the warehouse as needed, and systematically identify 

property to the specific case. Upon completion of the requested freeze or unfreeze action, DSS will 

provide confirmation to EBS using the DLMS 943A, Warehouse Service Advice.

b. Background:

(1) DLA Disposition Services is a worldwide presence within the Department of

Defense, with disposal specialists in 14 foreign countries, two U.S. territories, and 39 states.

DLA Disposition Services’ mission is the execution of disposition solutions for excess military

property. The Reutilization Business Integration (RBI) project replaced the Disposal Automated

Information System (DAISY) by integrating DLA Disposition Services’ business processes

within the DLA enterprise suite of applications, including EBS for materiel management 

functions and DSS for warehousing/distribution functions.

(2) The Materiel Release business model for DLA Disposition Services associates

the Disposal Turn-In Document (DTID) as a transaction reference to the materiel release number 

for the requisition. This allows the field office users to link the materiel release to the original 

DTID turned in to the specific site. Due to the approval process for FMS, there are many 

instances when a case may be pending for a significant amount of time. In order to support DLA 

Disposition Services and its FMS customers, there is a requirement to pass the FMS case number 

systemically between Reutilization, Transfer, and Donation (RTD) Web; EBS; and DSS. DSS 

will need flags or indicators from EBS to identify the specific property that the field office needs 

to pick in order to fill the requisition. 

(3) The FMS Case Number (formatted as XX-X-XXX) is the concatenation 

of three data elements, the SC Customer Code, the SC Implementing Agency Code, and the 

SC Case Designator. The DLMS are designed for consistent use of these three data 

elements across multiple domains. Concatenation of data elements within a single data field 

is highly discouraged within DLMS. Therefore, the FMS Case Number is carried as three 

discrete data elements in DLMS transactions. These data elements were established as 

DLMS enhancements and later remapped for SC SLOA use under Reference 3.c. These 

data elements are also embedded within legacy-formatted transactions since they are used,

in part, to construct the requisition document number and supplemental address, which are 

perpetuated to most follow-on transactions.
Attachment, ADC 1156

Page 3

(a) The SC Customer Code is derived from the second and third

characters of the document number.

(b) The SC Implementing Agency Code for DLA is R, as designated 

in the Security Assistance Management Manual.

Staffing Note: The SC Implementing Agency Code is normally derived from the first 

position of the document number (i.e., the Service/Agency Code); however, DLA is an 

exception because the Service/Agency Code denoting DLA FMS is T. As a result, these 

transactions will carry a document number beginning with T and the SC Implementing 

Agency Code R.

(c) The SC Case Designator is derived from the last three characters 

of the supplemental address.

(d) While DLA Disposition Services currently follows this 

prescribed format in all manual processes, the FMS Case Number in RTD Web and EBS is 

tracked as X-XX-XXX, using the Service/Agency Code T instead of the Implementing 

Agency Code R. RTD Web and EBS will convert to the prescribed format at a future date, 

yet to be determined. Until such time, all transactions sent to and from DSS will contain the 

correct values. As a result, pending RTD Web and full EBS transition to use of the SC 

Implementing Agency Code R, EBS will convert the internal T case number to an R prior to 

sending or after receiving DLMS transactions described in the procedures below.

c. Approved Change in Detail:

(1) FMS Freeze and Requisition:

(a) This change authorizes DLA Disposition Services use of the DLMS 940S

Materiel Staging Request to identify items frozen for FMS customers. To accomplish this, DLA 

Disposition Services needs a new Service Performed Code for FMS freezes and the FMS Case 

Number carried as three discrete data elements (SC Customer Code, SC Implementing Agency Code, 

and SC Case Designator) added to the DLMS 940S. This new process expands the existing 

warehouse location data field. Comparable changes must be made to the DLMS 943A Warehouse 

Service Advice for use in the field office response to the 940S.

(b) The DLA Disposition Services FMS office creates an FMS case through 

approved processes outside of the DLA Disposition Services systems, and the case number is then 

manually entered into EBS. Loading the case number into EBS triggers an interface to RTD Web 

with the case information indicating the case is available for use. Once the case number is

established in both RTD Web and EBS, if the case is of a type that requires freezing of the property 

prior to requisitioning and the FMS customer selection of property using RTD Web, RTD Web will 

send the case number and the Freeze Indicator Code to EBS, as well as the warehouse location. This 

data will be sent via direct feed from RTD to EBS (not a DLMS interface). After EBS loads the 

freeze information, EBS will send the DLMS 940S to DSS to advise the DLA Disposition Services 

Field Office personnel to freeze the particular assets for the FMS case. The DLA Disposition Services 

FMS Office maintains all case information, to include the FMS Case Number.

(c) Once the FMS approval occurs, RTD Web sends EBS a notification 

to release the freeze for requisition (“unfreeze for requisition” action) for the FMS assets. This
Attachment, ADC 1156

Page 4

data will be sent via direct feed from RTD to EBS, and, at the same time, RTD sends a 

requisition for that property to EBS. Then, EBS sources that property to the FMS customer 

and, at this point triggers, a material release. EBS will send DSS the DLMS 940R to release the 

particular asset including a freeze indicator. DSS will not convert the R to a T and will retain 

the approved SAMM format. This procedure is needed because the property for this case is still 

allocated and under an FMS frozen warehouse location in DSS, and should only be picked and 

issued from that location. 

(d) The DLMS 940R data elements SC Customer Code, SC 

Implementing Agency Code, and SC Case Designator are applicable to this process. DSS will 

utilize the case number (constructed from the three discrete data elements) and freeze indicator 

combination on the MRO to associate the materiel release to the frozen property. Once the 

DLA Disposition Services Field Office completes the pick, DSS will trigger the DLMS 945A

Materiel Release Confirmation to EBS perpetuating the case number and freeze data content. 

DSS will also generate an 856S Shipment Status.

(2) FMS Freeze and Site-to-Site Transfer of Frozen Property:

(a) In some instances, there is a business requirement to move property 

frozen for FMS, which may sit on location for extended periods of time, to another warehouse 

location with more storage space available. To accomplish this, an FMS specialist will identify 

property in RTD Web that has been frozen for a case as requiring transfer and will select the 

destination field office to which the property will go. This will trigger a request to EBS, where 

an RDO will be generated and sent to DSS (DLMS 940R/Document Identifier Code A2_). 

This RDO will need to carry the data elements that compose the FMS Case Number. These 

elements are not embedded within the document number and supplementary address data as 

with an MRO for an FMS customer because the RDO uses a different document number 

assigned by DLA Disposition Services and identifies the ship-to activity discretely and within 

the supplemental address. The RDO will also include the frozen indicator to indicate the 

property being transferred needs to be pulled from an FMS frozen location.

(b) At the time of RDO creation in EBS, EBS will also transmit PMR 

data to the gaining DSS site using a DLMS 527D PMR transaction. This transaction will need 

to carry the discrete data elements composing the FMS Case Number and the new freeze 

indicator. This will indicate to the gaining site that the property will need to be placed in an 

FMS frozen location immediately upon receipt. When the DSS losing site processes the pick 

on the RDO, a DLMS 856S Shipment Status is also sent to the gaining site. This transaction 

will perpetuate the freeze indicator and the data elements composing the FMS Case Number. 

Additionally, the data elements composing the FMS Case Number and new freeze indicator 

will need to be passed back to EBS on the DLMS 527R Receipt (Document Identifier Code 

D6K) for the receipt of the property at the gaining site. This will indicate to EBS that the 

property is tied to an FMS transfer of frozen material, and the freeze indicator and case number

can, therefore, be recorded accordingly. Additionally, when EBS processes this property on 

record completing the RDO action, EBS sends a status notification via direct feed to RTD Web 

that the action was completed.

(3) FMS Freeze and Freeze Cancellation: In some instances, property that was

frozen for an FMS case needs to be unfrozen. This is done by a freeze cancellation. RTD Web 
Attachment, ADC 1156

Page 5

communicates the freeze cancellation to EBS as a direct feed. EBS clears the freeze 

information from the property, and sends a DLMS 940S to DSS with the applicable Service 

Performed Code and Event Identification to unfreeze the materiel. This communicates to DSS 

the property no longer needs to be reserved for that FMS case and should be relocated back to 

an appropriate warehouse location. DSS will confirm this action and identify the new 

warehouse location using a DLMS 943 Warehouse Service Advice.

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: 

(1) Revise DLM 4000.25, DLMS, Volume 2, Chapter 16 as shown in Enclosure 1.

(2) Revise DLMS implementation conventions as shown in Enclosure 2.

e. Transaction Flow: This process uses existing standard transaction flow with addition of 

the DLMS 940S and 943A for DLA Disposition Services. 

(1) The DLMS 940S Materiel Staging Request will flow from DLA Disposition 

Services (EBS) to the DLA Disposition Services Field Office (DSS). 

(2) The DLMS 943A Warehouse Service Advice will flow from the DLA Disposition 

Services Field Office (DSS) to DLA Disposition Services (EBS). 

(3) The 940R Materiel Release will flow from DLA Disposition Services (EBS) to the 

DLA Disposition Services Field Office (DSS). 

(4) The DLMS 527D PMR will flow from DLA Disposition Services to the DLA 

Disposition Services Field Office (DSS). 

(5) The 945R Materiel Release Confirmation will flow from DLA Disposition 

Services Field Office (DSS) to DLA Disposition Services (EBS). 

(6) The DLMS 856S Shipment Status will from DLA Disposition Services Field 

Office (DSS) to the gaining site DLA Disposition Services Field Office (DSS).

(7) The DLMS 527R Receipt will flow from DLA Disposition Services Field Office

(DSS) to DLA Disposition Services (EBS).

f. Alternatives: No acceptable alternatives available at this time.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: DLA Disposition Services currently utilizes the DTID as a 

mechanism to requisition or issue specific property. The additional data elements identified for 

tracking FMS assets are needed to further support Disposition Services and FMS. This new 

mechanism is needed to associate requisitions and issuing documents to specific assets in accordance 

with DLA Disposition Services business needs.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: DLA Disposition Services will be able to manage requisitions, FMS cases,

and specific assets based on methodologies for Disposition Services, RTD Web, and FMS.
Attachment, ADC 1156

Page 6

b. Disadvantages: Updating transactions requires DSS and EBS coding changes to generate 

and accommodate the new data content for communicating the Freeze/Unfreeze Indicator and FMS 

Case Number.

7. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO CONSIDER: Future system changes are needed in EBS and 

RTD Web to key off of SAMM format and logic for FMS using SC Implementing Agency Code R 

for customer identification, rather than Service/Agency Code T. Pending this transition, there will be 

a disparity between systems and information displayed to users.

8. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Target implementation date is 

August 2016.

9. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: None available.

10. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: There are no new data elements established under this 

change.

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: This change requires new code values for two 

existing data elements.

(1) Service Performed Code: F=DLA Disposition Services Freeze/Unfreeze Action 

Requested

(2) Event Identification: F=Freeze Indicator, Z=Unfreeze Indicator

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS):

(1) DLA. DSS and EBS will require coding changes to properly recognize, map, 

process, and accommodate the changes identified in this change.

(2) Other DOD Components. No impact. 

d. Transaction Services: Transaction Services will require mapping updates for the 527D, 

527R, 856S, 940R, 940S, 943S, and 945A.

e. Non-DLM 4000.25 Series Publications:

(1) DLA Disposition Services will need to update its standard operation procedure 

and business process analyst training manual.

(2) The appropriate DLA office will need to update DRMS-I 4160.14, Operating 

Instructions for Disposition Management.

Changes are identified by bold red italics and strike-through text.

Revise DLM 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management Standards, Volume 2, Chapter 16, as 

shown.

C16.2.2.1.2. DTID Requisitions of Reutilization Property. All requisitions sent to DLA 

Disposition Services for property assigned Disposition Category Code RU are considered freeissue, except requisitions from foreign military sales (FMS) customers, which generate 

transportation and packing, crating, and handling (PC&H) costs. These transportation costs 

will be identified on the requisition transaction identified by a funds appropriation, (e.g., fund 

cite or line of accounting). These costs are determined by the RTD Web based on the FMS 

customer’s profile and passed to DLA Disposition Services on the Requisition. TheThis funds 

appropriation/funds cite will be perpetuated to the field office on the DLMS 940R Materiel 

Release Order (MRO) at the time the item is issued. Conformance with standard line of 

accounting (SLOA)/accounting classification requires any initiation of a financial business event 

to include SLOA mandated standard financial information system (SFIS) elements. The DLMS 

MRO transaction supports inclusion of SLOA required elements. The PC&H charges are 

calculated in RTD Web and EBS, then transferred to DSS via DLMS 940R, and are then 

printed on the bottom portion of the DD 1348-1A.

(Intervening text not shown)

C16.2.4.8.3.2. Foreign Military Sales Customers. FMS customers with access to 

RTD Web have the option of freezing property by DTID FMS Case number. The capability to 

freeze items is provided to facilitate the State Department approval process for FMS customer 

eligibility. During the approval process, the items are flagged as frozen both in DLA Disposition 

Services and at the field office, and are not advertised on the RTD Web to other customers. 

C16.2.4.8.3.2.1. EBS will send DSS a DLMS 940S Materiel Staging Request 

to initiate freezing of the assets (Service Performed Code F with Event Identification F). The 

DLMS 940S must include the Security Cooperation (SC) Customer Code, SC Implementing 

Agency Code, and SC Case Designator. These three pieces of information will be 

concatenated to construct the FMS Case Number (formatted as XX-X-XXX). The field office 

will also provide the specific warehouse location for this materiel. Once DSS receives the 

DLMS 940S directing the freeze action, DSS will relocate the asset to a FMS freeze area.

When this action is finalized, DSS will provide a DLMS 943A Warehouse Service Advice with 

confirmation and print a label that will include the FMS Case Number and FMS asset 

identification, and affix this to the property. 

C16.2.4.8.3.2.2. It may be necessary to relocate frozen materiel from one field 

office to another. When this occurs, DLA Disposition Services will provide a DLMS 527D 

PMR to the new location including the freeze indicator and the FMS Case Number data 

elements. These will be perpetuated to the DLMS 527R Receipt. 
Enclosure 1, ADC 1156

Page 2

C16.2.4.8.3.2.3. Once the FMS customer receives approval to acquire the item, 

a requisition will be sent to DLA Disposition Services from RTD Web, and the item will be 

issued. Using RTD Web, field offices will be able to view a list of all items that are currently 

frozen and print out a placard to place on the frozen items to insure walk-in customers know the 

item is not available. If an FMS freeze is in place, the property will not be available for 

screening for any other customer. RTD Web will send EBS a notification to release the freeze 

for requisition (“unfreeze for requisition” action) for the FMS assets (via direct feed from 

RTD to EBS). Concurrently, RTD Web sends a requisition for that property to EBS. EBS will 

source the property to the FMS customer sending DSS the DLMS 940R to release the 

particular asset including a freeze indicator so that the property for this case is allocated from

the FMS frozen warehouse location in DSS.
