4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: 

(1) This document is one of a series of DLMS changes to define procedures and 

establish a coordinated implementation for the exchange of IUID data in accordance with DOD 

IUID Supply Policy.

(2) This change implements inclusion of the IUID content in the standardized retail 

supply and transportation interchange for stock shipments (Reference 3.d.) using the DLMS 

940R Materiel Release and the DLMS 945A Materiel Release Advice, when the distribution 

code in those transactions is 111.
ADC 1073 Attachment

Page 2

(3) This change establishes a new version of the DLMS Implementation Convention

(IC) for the 945A, based on ASC X12 Version/Release 4030. This new version must be used for 

all new implementations of the DLMS 945A and for all existing implementations requiring the 

inclusion of IUID content. The DLMS 945A (Version/Release 4010) is still authorized for use in 

existing implementations not requiring the exchange of IUID content. 

(4) In accordance with new DLMS naming conventions, previous references to 

“DLMS Supplements” have been updated to “DLMS Implementation Conventions”.

(5) Notes previously identified as “Federal Notes” have been updated as “DLMS 

Notes”. 

(6) Significant changes made subsequent to staffing of PDC 1073 are highlighted in 

GREEN.

b. Background: DOD policy is that the Components use the Unique Item 

Identifier (UII) to enhance life-cycle management of assets and provide more accurate asset 

valuation, to achieve unqualified audit opinions on the Property, Plant and Equipment and 

Operating Materials and Supplies Portions of DOD Financial Statements. The UII will serve as a 

common key in financial, property accountability, acquisition, supply, maintenance and logistics 

systems.1

 

(1) For an NSN to be managed under the DOD IUID Supply Policy, the item must 

have a unique item level traceability requirement at some point in its lifecycle. See Reference 

3.e. for specific criteria.

(2) The manager of the item, in consultation with its users, determines the 

requirement for unique item level traceability.

(3) The Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) will be updated to support a 

new data field to identify the IUID Indicator. This new data element is a yes/no indicator to 

provide enterprise-wide visibility of IUID applicability for NSN items. Pending FLIS 

modernization the IUID Indicator will be made available thru web-services using the Master 

Data Capability.

(4) IUID benefits the transportation node of the DOD supply chain in a key way.

2

Visibility of UIIs will be available in enterprise tracking systems (e.g., Integrated Data 

Environment (IDE) / Global Transportation Network (GTN) Convergence (IGC)), by 

maintaining referential integrity between the document number and its Transportation Control 

Number (TCN). To simplify order tracking once one or more shipments are made to satisfy a 

requisition, all shipments, regardless of origin or destination, will be assigned a shipment TCN 

that is linked to the requisition. As shipments move through the transportation nodes and 

undergo consolidation or deconsolidation actions, the integrity of the TCN-to-requisition 

relationship documented in the supply shipment status is maintained. To facilitate customer 

follow-up with commercial carriers, supply sources using DLMS will provide carrier 

 1 Reference 3.e.

2 Ibid
ADC 1073 Attachment

Page 3

identification and the carrier tracking number. The DLMS 856S will identify the UIIs associated 

with a document number and the TCN under which the document number shipped. The 

transportation node will continue to transact business at the TCN level. TCN tracking while in 

transit can be associated back to UIIs through the use of the DLMS 856S Shipment Status.

Rather than being the primary link, the UII is a byproduct of the link between the document 

number and the TCN.

(5) DLM 4000.25, Volume 3, Chapter 2 (Reference 3.d.) documented procedures to 

implement a standardized interchange between retail transportation and supply through the use of 

the DLMS 940R Materiel Release and the DLMS 945A Material Release Advice. That standard 

exchange provides the ability to pre-position release order data in transportation, submit followup status messages to transportation requesting updated shipment status, submit cancellation 

requests to transportation for release orders already turned over to transportation for shipment 

planning and execution, provide supply status messages from transportation to supply, provide 

cancellation response messages from transportation to supply, and submit material release 

confirmation messages from transportation to supply when the material has shipped. 

(a) In situations requiring IUID content, the retail transportation 

management office (e.g., Cargo Movement Operations System) must provide the UIIs associated 

to the TCN of each shipment unit, using the DLMS 945A Material Release Confirmation

(MRC). The retail supply activities will then perpetuate the UIIs in the DLMS 945A MRC to the 

DLMS 856S.

(b) In the current Air Force ILS-S implementation, the DLMS 940R is 

sent to the Cargo Movement Operations System (CMOS) when the release order/redistribution 

order is received and initially processed by the storage activity, prior to the item being picked off 

the shelf. To ensure that the UIIs and/or serial numbers are sent to CMOS, an additional 

(updated) DLMS 940R will need to be created and sent, once the items are scanned just prior to 

delivery to transportation for shipment processing.

(c) Once transportation ships the materiel, the DLMS 945A Materiel 

Release Confirmation will be sent back to supply, identifying the Transportation Control 

Numbers assigned and the UIIs and/or serial numbers contained within each individual TCN 

shipment. This becomes increasingly important when the shipment is partialled, as indicated in 

record position 16 of the TCN. Multiple DLMS 945As will be required to identify each partial 

shipment and which UIIs and/or serial numbers are contained with it. This information will 

enable the supply system to perpetuate the TCN and associated UIIs and/or serial numbers in the 

DLMS 856S Shipment Status.

(6) ADC 1030 (Reference 3.g.) requires that activities providing DLMS 856S 

Shipment Status transactions include the UII and/or machine readable serial number when 

available, on outbound shipment notices where applicable.

c. Approved Change in Detail: This ADC addresses inclusion of the UIIs and/or serial 

numbers for activities operating under the Retail Supply and Transportation Interchange when 

the FLIS IUID Indicator for a specific NSN is Y, and the Distribution Code is 111. When 
ADC 1073 Attachment

Page 4

including UIIs and/or serial numbers, this interchange can only be transacted within the DLMS; 

there is no MILS capability to include the UII and/or serial numbers.

(1) Retail storage activities will include the UIIs and/or the serial numbers in the 

DLMS 940R Materiel Release Order/Disposal Release Order/Redistribution Order transactions

sent to transportation. 

(a) When the UIIs are not available in the initial DLMS 940R sent to 

transportation, then an updated DLMS 940R must be sent as soon as the UIIs are scanned prior 

to sending the materiel to transportation.

(b) The updated DLMS 940R will cite the value R in the 1/W0502/200

identifying the transaction as an update to the original for the purposes of providing updated 

IUID data content.

(2) Retail transportation activities will include the UIIs and/or the serial numbers in 

the DLMS 945A Materiel Release Confirmation.

(3) Retail supply activities will include in the DLMS 856S the UIIs and/or the serial 

numbers from the DLMS 945A MRC received from transportation.

(4) Multiple Freight Piece Shipments: Per ADC 1030 (Reference 3.g.), when a 

shipment contains IUID content and is shipped in multiple freight pieces, shippers are NOT 

authorized to execute the movement of the shipment using multiple freight piece procedures 

(e.g., citing the same TCN for all boxes). Those shipments must be “partialled” by using the 

16th position of the TCN to uniquely identify each freight piece. A separate DLMS 945A MRC 

and DLMS 856S Shipment Status will be transmitted for each document number – partial TCN 

pair, identifying the contents of each freight piece, to include pRFID tag(s) and UII(s) and/or 

serial numbers. 

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: 

(1) Update the DLMS IC 940R Materiel Release. See Enclosure 1.

(2) Establish a new DLMS IC 945A Materiel Release Advice using the X12 Version 

4030 standard. This new IC includes all data content and functionality available in the DLMS IC 

945A Version 4010, as well as the changes identified in this ADC. See Enclosure 2.

(3) Update DLM 4000.25 Volume 3, Chapter 2. See Enclosure 3.

(4) Update the DLMS IC 945A, Version 4010 to add W2706 at location 2/W27/075. 

The X12 semantic note referenced in Table 1 has always applied to the 945 Transaction Set, but 

was overlooked in previous releases of the DLMS 945A.

 # Location Revision to 4010 945A, Material Release Advice Reason for Change

1. DLMS 

Introductory 

Note

Insert new DLMS Introductory Note 6 and renumber existing 

note to Note 7:

- All new development and significant enhancements to the 

DLMS 945A must use the 4030 version of the DLMS 

Implementation Convention. The 4010 version of the DLMS 

945A will be phased out in 2019, to correspond with the 

deadline for full DLMS compliance per the OSD AT&L 

Strategy. 

Announce plans to sunset 

the Version 4010 DLMS 

945A Implementation 

Convention. 

2. DLMS 

Introductory 

Note

Add ADC 1073 to DLMS Introductory Note 7:

- ADC 1073, Implementation of Item Unique Identification 

(IUID) in the DLMS 940R/945A Supporting the SupplyTransportation Interface; Creation of New DLMS 945A 

Implementation Convention (IC) Version 4030; 

Administrative Update to the DLMS 945A IC Version 4010

Identifies DLMS changes 

included in the DLMS IC.

3. 2/W2706/075 Open W2706 and add Associated DLMS Notes:

DLMS Notes: 

1. Use Code Z in this data element to meet mandatory X12 

semantic note requirement when W2701 = G or R.

2. See ADC 1073.

To satisfy X12 semantic 

note: W2706 is required 

when W2701 equals G or 

R.

e. Transaction Flows: No changes to transaction flow are required.

f. Alternatives: None identified. 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: Supports the implementation of the DOD IUID Supply Policy.

This change documents implementation of the UII requirements within the DLMS 940R Material 

Release/945A Materiel Release Advise exchange when Distribution Code 111 applies. The 

maximum length attribute for the N902 is extended to 50 characters in the 945A ASC X12 

version 4030; thereby accommodating the maximum length of a UII, without having to split the 

value across the N902/N903, as is currently documented in the 945A ASC X12 version 4010. 
ADC 1073 Attachment

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Providing the UII in the Retail Transportation and Supply Interchange 

will enable the supply source to provide the UII and/or serial number data in the 856S Shipment 

Status as required under DOD IUID Supply Policy (Reference 3.f). 

b. Disadvantages: None identified. 

7. ASSUMPTIONS USED OR WILL BE USED IN THE CHANGE OR NEW 

DEVELOPMENT: 

a. Users of this change have fully implemented the DLMS transaction capability in their 

business application. 

b. As of December 2013, the IUID indicator is available in the DLA Logistics 

Information System Master Data Capability (MDC), and in 2017 the reengineered FLIS will 

incorporate the IUID indicator. This will require Components to initially modify systems to 

access the IUID indicator in the MDC, and later obtain the IUID Indicator through a standard 

cataloging interface when the redesigned FLIS is operational.

c. This ADC changes the policy currently in place for Unique Item Tracking (UIT) by 

formalizing the inclusion of the UII in the Materiel Release/Materiel Release Advice 

interchange, when executing the retail transportation and supply interfaces (distribution code = 

111) documented in DLM 4000.25, Volume 3, Chapter 2.

8. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: It is possible to expand the available 

information contained in the IUID loop in association with the UII and serial number, so that 

more information about a particular item can be communicated. During staffing of ADC 1030 

(see Reference 3.g.), Services/Agencies were asked to consider this opportunity to formally add 

the batch/lot number to the information within the loop as a mechanism to tie together specific 

items with their associated batch/lot number when this would be appropriate operationally. This 

would supplement the capability to identify the batch/lot number(s) applicable to the shipment 

independent of the specific item identification. The capability is currently identified in the 

DLMS 856S as a DLMS enhancement. ADC 399A (see Reference 3.h.) authorized a 

comparable capability to include the batch/lot numbers in the “envelope” used to retain a 

relationship between a UII and its associated serial number in the bar coded data provided for 

serialized item shipments on the Issue Release/Receipt Document (IRRD) (DD Form 1348-1A or 

DD Form 1348-2).

9. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: 

a. Supply systems implementing the IUID requirement in this ADC using the interface 

with the Air Force Cargo Movement Operations System (CMOS) must coordinate testing with 

the CMOS Program Office prior to implementation; staggered implementation is authorized after 

December 2014, with full implementation targeted for December 2017.

b. All Components that use the DLMS 945A Version 4010 should plan to migrate their 

applications to use the Version 4030 by 2019. Staggered implementation is authorized.

10. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: Not available.

11. IMPACT:

c. New DLMS Data Elements: There are no new DLMS data elements required.

d. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: There are no changes to existing DLMS data 

elements for this change.

e. Component Automated Information Systems: 

(1) Systems exchanging DLMS 940R/945A under the Retail Transportation and 

Supply Receipt and Acknowledgement process when Distribution Code 111 applies will need to 

update their systems to generate and receive the 4030 version of the 945A. 

(2) Systems deploying new implementations of the DLMS 945A should use the 

4030 version. 

f. DLA Transaction Services:

(1) Develop a new map for the DLMS 945A Version 4030. 

(2) Update the maps for the DLMS 945A Version 4010 for semantic correction 

identified in Table 1 paragraph 4.d.(4) of this DLMS change.

(3) Update the map for the DLMS 940R Version 4030 based on the changes 

identified in Enclosure 1 of this DLMS change.

g. Non-DLA Logistics Management Standards Publications: Components that have 

systems involved in the Transportation and Supply Receipt and Acknowledgement process will 

need to ensure that any Component-specific documentation, manuals, and policies are updated in 

accordance with this ADC. Components will update local procedures as necessary.

4. 2/N9/1500 Add new DLMS Note 4 and renumber/update existing DLMS Note 4 

to DLMS Note 5 at segment level:

4. When this message supports the Retail Supply-Transportation 

Interface (See DLM 4000.25 Volume 3, Chapter 2), this transaction 

supports unique item identification based upon the UII. Pending full 

transition to DoD IUID Supply Policy using the UII, the materiel 

release will be prepared using the UII and corresponding serial 

number and batch/lot number when available when required by DoD 

IUID Supply Policy. Authorized DLMS enhancement. See ADC 

1073.

5. With the exception of the limited implementation authorized by 

ADC 1073 in support of the Retail Supply-Transportation Interface, 

the entire 2/N9/1500 segment is a DLMS enhancement. See 

introductory DLMS note 4a.

maximum of 60 items may be identified for this interface. See ADC 

1073. 

SE Serial Number

DLMS Note:

1. Use to identify the serial number. The serial number may not exceed 

30 characters in accordance with IUID policy. 

2. Use when this transaction supports the Retail Transportation and 

Supply Receipt and Acknowledgement Interchange SBSS interface 

with CMOS to provide the serial number under PIC NWRM UIT 

program. Serial number may be used alone for legacy items when UII 

is not assigned, otherwise use two occurrences of this segment to 

identify both the serial number and the UII. A maximum of 60 items 

may be identified for this interface. See ADC 1073.

U3 Unique Supplier Identification Number (USIN)

DLMS Note:

1. Use to identify the UII. The UII may not exceed 50 characters in 

accordance with IUID policy. A data maintenance action was 

approved in version 5020. The approved code/name is UII –

“Department of Defense Unique Item Identifier”. 

2. Use when this transaction supports the Retail Transportation and

945 Warehouse Shipping Advice

Functional Group=SW

Purpose: This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Warehouse Shipping Advice 

Transaction Set (945) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used by the 

warehouse to advise the depositor that shipment was made. It is used to reconcile order quantities with shipment quantities.

DLMS Note:

1. DoD distinguishes between materiel release confirmation, historical materiel release confirmation, materiel release denial, historical 

materiel release denial, materiel release advice, materiel release cancellation advice, lateral redistribution order (LRO) advice under Total 

Asset Visibility (TAV) procedures, historical materiel release cancellation advice, disposal release confirmation, historical disposal release 

confirmation, disposal release denial, historical disposal release denial, disposal release advice, disposal release cancellation advice, and 

historical disposal release cancellation advice transactions.

2. This transaction also accommodates the functionality for serial/lot number reporting transactions (based on non-MILSTRIP Document 

Identifier Code (DIC) BG1/BG2 published by NAVSUP P-724). This transaction may be used to provide Unique Item Identification (UII) when 

reporting under the standardized retail supply and transportation interchange for stock shipments as documented in DLM 4000.25 Volume 3. 

Refer to the IUID web at URL: http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/sitemap.html for DoD policy.

3. Users operating under the Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) must reference the Unit of Issue and Purchase Unit 

Conversion Table, Transportation Mode of Shipment Conversion Table, and the Accounting Classification Appendix which can be found on 

the DLA Logistics Management Standards Web site at www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso.

4. This DLMS implementation convention (IC) contains:

a. Data associated with a DLMS enhancement which may not be received or understood by the recipient's automated processing system. 

DLMS procedures may not have been developed. Components must coordinate requirements and business rules with DLA Logistics 

Management Standards prior to use.

b. Data associated with an Approved Change which may not have an established implementation date. This data may not be received or 

understood by the recipient's automated processing system. Components must coordinate implementation with DLA Logistics Management 

Standards prior to use.

c. Legacy MILSTRIP data which must be retained in the DLMS for a transition period to support transaction conversion in a mixed legacy 

MILSTRIP-DLMS environment. This data will be streamlined out once full DLMS implementation is reached. Components may coordinate 

with DLA Logistics Management Standards for early termination (or retention) of specific data requirements for users operating in a full DLMS 

environment.

d. Data elements which have an expanded field size above existing legacy MILSTRIP capability which may not be supported by the

recipient's automated processing system. Components must coordinate implementation with DLA Logistics Management Standards prior to 

use. 

e. Data associated with a DLMS enhancement authorized for implementation by modernized systems under DLMS migration. This data 

(including expanded field sizes) should be adopted during, or subsequent, to modernization when applicable to the Component’s business 

process. Prior coordination is not required. Components should ensure that inclusion of this data in a DLMS transaction does not cause 

inappropriate rejection of the transaction.

f. Data required to accommodate a Component-unique transaction requirement. Data does not apply to legacy MILSTRIP transactions.

5. This transaction may be used to provide Unique Item Identifier (UII) information. Refer to the UID web at URL: 

http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/sitemap.html for DoD policy and business rules.

6. All new development and significant enhancements to the DLMS 945A must use the 4030 version of the DLMS Implementation 

Convention. The 4010 version of the DLMS 945A will be phased out in 2019, to correspond with the deadline for full DLMS compliance per

Enclosure 3, Changes to DLM 4000.25, Vol. 3, Chapter 2, Retail Supply and Transportation –

Stock Shipments

(preceding text not shown)

C2.3.2. Retail Supply Activity. This paragraph provides general procedures for retail 

supply activities related to the delivery of items to the servicing transportation activity for further

shipment.

C2.3.2.1. Pre-Positioned Release Order. For designated supply trading partners, the 

Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) shall transmit copies of the DLMS 940R, 

Materiel Release Order/Disposal Release Order/Redistribution Order (Document Identifier 

Codes (DIC) A2_/A5_/A5J/A4_) transactions to the designated transportation system to be prepositioned awaiting actual arrival of cargo from the supply warehouse.

C2.3.2.1.1. For designated supply trading partners (currently limited to the 

SBSS—CMOS interface) the DLMS 940R, Materiel Release will be used to pass Federal 

Logistics Information System (FLIS) National Stock Number (NSN) item data (as identified in 

the 940R) that is not otherwise available to CMOS. This is an interim measure pending 

establishment of a FLIS interface.

C2.3.2.1.2. For designated supply trading partners (currently limited to the 

SBSS—CMOS interface), the DLMS 940R, Materiel Release will be used to support the unique 

item tracking (UIT) program for Positive Inventory Control (PIC) Nuclear Weapon Related 

Materiel (NWRM). A unique item identifier (UII) and the associated serial number will be 

passed in the DLMS 940R for each item meeting the PIC NWRM program criteria. For legacy 

items where the UII has not been marked in accordance with Item Unique Identification (IUID) 

policy, the serial number alone will be passed. This is an interim measure pending transition to 

tracking by UII and associated IUID business rules/transactions. DLMS Volume 2, Chapter 19, 

UIT Procedures applies (with exceptions as noted). Future CMOS releases will include the serial 

number/UII in the DLMS 945A, Materiel Release Advice transaction.

C.2.3.2.1.3. For designated supply trading partners (currently limited to the 

SBSS—CMOS interface), an information copy (image) of the Materiel Release 940R will be 

used in support of Air Force PIC Fusion program data requirements. The routing of an 

additional information-only copy of the DLMS standard transactions (940R) is authorized for 

forwarding PIC Fusion data needed for the Air Force UIT registry. This is a specific authorized 

use with unique identifiers to flag the transaction as information only.3

C2.3.2.1.4. Item Unique Identification. For designated trading partners, 

when NSNs containing an IUID indicator Yes (Y), indicating that DoD IUID Supply Policy is 

required, the DLMS 940R Materiel Release must contain the UII and/or serial number for 

each item when available.4

 3 Refer to ADC 316C.

4 Refer to DLM 4000.25 Volume 2, Chapter 5, Status Reporting, and ADC 1030
ADC 1073 Enclosure 3

Page 2

C2.3.2.1.5. Updated Pre-Positioned Release Order. In the event required UII 

and/or serial number information is not transmitted in the initial DLMS 940R to 

transportation, an updated DLMS 940R citing the value R at 1/W0502/0200 must be sent prior 

to sending the materiel to transportation.

(intervening text not shown)

C2.3.3.5. Materiel Release Confirmation

C2.3.3.5.1. Initial Materiel Release Confirmation. After the shipment is 

processed and shipped, the transportation activity generates a DLMS 945A, Materiel Release 

Confirmation/Disposal Release Confirmation, and sends it to the supply activity, where the 

shipment status message will be generated and transmitted.

C2.3.3.5.2. Materiel Release Confirmation Changes/Updates. In the event a 

shipment does not get lifted as originally intended (e.g., shipment is left off the truck), the 

transportation activities that originate the DLMS 945A Materiel Release Confirmation shall send 

an updated MRC transaction with all of the changed transportation information to the supply 

activity to enable the supply activity to prepare an updated DLMS 856A Shipping Status 

message. See DLM 4000.25 Volume 2, Chapter 4 for detailed procedures for preparation of the 

MRC change/update message. Examples of changed transportation information would include 

transportation method code, SCAC, ship date, bill of lading information, and tracking 

information. 

C2.3.3.5.3. Item Unique Identification. When the DLMS 940R contains IUID 

data content (e.g., UII and/or serial number), perpetuate the IUID content in the DLMS 945A 

Materiel Release Confirmation to clearly delineate which UIIs/serial numbers were shipped 

under a particular TCN. When a shipment contains IUID content and is shipped in multiple 

freight pieces, shippers are NOT authorized to execute the movement of the shipment using 

multiple freight piece procedures (e.g., citing the same TCN for all boxes). Those shipments 

must be “partialled” by using the 16th position of the TCN to uniquely identify each freight 

piece. A separate DLMS 945A MRC will be transmitted for each document number – partial 

TCN pair, identifying the contents of each freight piece, to include pRFID tag(s) and UII(s) 

and/or serial numbers.

(intervening text not shown)

C2.3.2.6. Shipment Status Messages

C2.3.2.6.1. Initial Shipment Status Message. When the retail supply activity 

receives the Materiel Release Confirmation for a multi-pack, the activity must associate it with 

all the document numbers that were contained in the initial Materiel Release Order, generate the 

required DLMS 856S, Shipment Advice (DIC AS_) shipment status transactions for the 

multipack, and transmit to DAAS for distribution per existing procedures and trading partner 

profiles. When the retail supply activity receives the Materiel Release Confirmation for an 

assemblage (e.g., medical), the activity will generate the required DLMS 856S Shipment Status 

transaction at the Assemblage Identification Number (AIN) level. For all Materiel Release 

Confirmations, the retail supply activity will insert the original distribution code assigned to the 
ADC 1073 Enclosure 3

Page 3

Materiel Release Order/Disposal Release Order/Redistribution Order in lieu of the special 

distribution code used to denote the retail transportation and supply interchange when generating

the shipment status transactions.

C2.3.2.6.2. Shipment Status Message Updates. In the event a shipment does 

not get lifted as originally intended (e.g., shipment is left off the truck) and the retail supply 

activity receives an updated DLMS 945A, Materiel Release Confirmation message from the 

retail transportation activity, then the retail supply activity shall generate an updated DLMS 

856S, Shipment Status transaction to convey the changed transportation information. See DLM 

4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 5 for detailed procedures. Examples of changed transportation 

information would include transportation method code, standard carrier alpha code (SCAC), ship 

date, bill of lading information, and tracking information.

C2.3.2.6.3. Unique Item Identification.

 Shipment Status for NSNs 

containing an IUID indicator Yes (Y), indicating that DoD IUID Supply Policy is required, 

must contain the UII and/or serial number for each item when available. Refer to DLM 

4000.25 Volume 2, Chapter 5, Status Reporting; paragraph C5.1.3.5. contains specific 

shipment status requirements for IUID.

Comment Resolution for PDC 1073:

Originator Response/Comment Disposition

Marine Corps Concur without comment. Noted.

DLA Concur with comment. We haven't 

received a J6 impact statement yet, so 

we don't know what would be 

involved to meet this PDC at this time. 

Looks like there would be changes in 

both SAP and DSS.

There should be no impact to 

SAP since this particular 

interface is between the storage 

activity and transportation, 

when they’re operated by 

different AIS’. 

There should be no impact to 

DSS at this time, as they have 

not yet implemented the Retail 

Supply-Transportation 

Interchange (also known as the 

ADC 316 interface) as 

documented in DLM 4000.25, 

Volume 3. If at some future 

point DSS does implement the 

interface with a Military 

Service system, then this ADC 

would apply.

Army Comments.

Q1. We believe it will work, assuming 

the "partial TCN with UIIs attached 

for just that partial" concept works. 

We believe this may be a big problem 

with transporters because they will 

have to change their transportation 

business processes for IUID. Example: 

Transportation will have to change 

their culture on mixed pallets because 

they will have to maintain the partial 

TCN integrity. It may be a potential 

problem with the Air Force 

transporting Army equipment.

A1. The partial TCN 

requirement (requested by 

USTRANSCOM and 

coordinated with the DTEB and 

DTR lead at USTRANSCOM) 

is not a new requirement 

introduced by this DLMS 

change. It was previously 

coordinated and approved by 

the Supply PRC under ADC 

1030; this ADC is just 

perpetuating this previously 

approved requirement. 

This restriction only applies at 

the lowest level of shipment

Q2. Another concern from CECOM 

and TYAD is the IUID indicator 

switch will not be functional until 

2017, while DOD assuming full IUID 

implementation in 2015.

Q3. Another concern is to check that 

the field lengths of the serial number 

and UII matched with the Army EIB 

requirements.

unit. This does not prohibit 

transportation officers from 

doing transportation 

consolidations (e.g., pallets, 

seavans). The DTEB 856A 

handles that level of 

consolidation today, by 

documenting the parent-child 

relationship of consolidated 

TCNs to shipment unit TCNs. 

As long as the shipment unit 

TCN-document number 

integrity is preserved, per DTR 

4500.9-R policy, consolidation 

and deconsolidation actions for 

the parent TCNs can be done; 

the DLMS 856S preserves the 

shipment unit level integrity 

and contains the UIIs. This 

alleviates the requirement for 

DTEB transportation 

transactions from having to be 

modified to carry UIIs and for 

transportation officers having to 

verify UIIs while materiel is 

intransit.

A2. DLA Logistics Information 

Services recently reported out 

that the IUID Indicator will be 

available in the FLIS MDC in 

December 2013. Also, this 

ADC is updated to authorize 

staggered implementation as 

supply systems update their 

current supply-transportation 

interface with CMOS, with the 

goal to be completed by 2017.

A3. This is an internal Army 

issue to resolve. The serial 

number lengths remain 

unchanged from current 

implementations of the IC. The 

940R and 945A UII field length 
ADC 1073 Enclosure 4

allocated in the DLMS IC is 

consistent with the DOD 

standard of not to exceed 50 

positions.

Air Force Concur with comment. 

Add implementation language “no 

earlier than December 2014 and 

require coordination for testing with 

the CMOS PMO prior to that date. 

Goes in CMOS 7.7 release.” 

Please update the PDC as follows: 

Add a new qualifier to the W05 

Segment of the 940R (for 940Rs / 

distribution code = '111'). This 

identifies to CMOS the 940R is an 

update for the addition of UIIs. 

Eventually ILS-S will have the UIIs 

available up front and then the UIIs 

can be added to the initial 940R.

Services

Concur w/comment.

Q1. What is the reasoning for creating 

a 4030 version of 945A? Version 

4010 supports this.

Q2. CMOS does not generate DLMS 

transactions but furnishes a UDF that 

DLA Transaction Services must 

translate to DLMS

Noted.

A1. The maximum field length 

for the N902 in the 945 was 

increased from 30 to 50 in 

version 4030. This enables the 

entire UII value to be carried in 

a single field and not have to be 

split between the N902 and 

N903 as is currently mapped in 

the 4010.

A2. Noted. As a part of the 

CMOS implementation, CMOS 

would have to update their UDF 

maps with DLA Transaction 

Services to facilitate 

transformation to DLMS.
