funds for implementing open AMCLS. t appears that
reimbursements to the Components from JLSC funds have already
been disbursed with no dollars specifically earmarked for AMCL
implementation.

ACTION: The September agenda will accommodate additional time
for AMCL review.

k. DLMS Enhancements. A list of enhancements approved
by the MODELS Functional Work Group for inclusion under DLMS was
provided.

July Agenda Items:

a. Forecast Requirements for Support from the Defense
Program for Redistribution of Assets (DEPRA). For planning
purposes, the DAASC made an inquiry concerning potential future
requirements needed to support the DEPRA program. It was the
consensus of the PRC that the DAASC should net make considerable
investments in DEPRA’s future. Use of DEPRA will greatly
diminish as asset visibility becomes available through other
means, The PRC acknowledged that continued use of DEPRA will be
appropriate in some situations, e.g., free issues.

ACTION: Mr. Brown will advise DAASC of discussion and Component
responses.

b. Clean-up of Obsolete DEMIL Codes for DRMS Material.
Mr. Brian Schutsky, DLA MMLD, provided background and status.
Under current policy, DLA will not accept turn-in property with
obsolete demilitarization codes. Originally there were
approximately 30,000 items on the FLIS database with invalid
codes. Although some FLIS conversions were processed
automatically, some 18,000 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) remained
with invalid codes. These require manual intervention to
correct.

ACTION: Components experiencing problems with turn-~ins due to
obsolete codes should be referred to Mr. Schutsky for assistance.

c. Implementation Convention (IC) Review. Nine new
Ics (first time before the PRC) were reviewed as follows:

(1) TS 856(LS15) Notice of Availability. Minor
changes noted. This IC will be included on the LFWG September
agenda.

(10) TS 511(LS50) Requisition Modification.
Additional work required. This IC must be modified to include a
significant amount of streamlined data. In addition, the
functional process for converting the modification to an original
requisition when there is no file match must be replicated from
the DLSS to the DLMS. The IC will be included on the PRC
September agenda.

(11) TS 869(LS51) Requisition Cancellation.
Additional work required. This IC must be modified to include a
significant amount of streamlined data. The functional process
for mass cancellation must be reviewed for proper mapping under
DLMS. The IC will be included on the PRC September agenda.

(12) TS 517(LS18) Materiel Obligation Validation.
LFWG comments were reviewed. This process will not be
re-engineered at this time. The IC will be returned to the LFWG
in September with appropriate justification.

(13) TS 517(LS45) GFM Validation. This IC has
already passed LFWG review. LFWG comments were reviewed and the
Ic was accepted.

(14) TS 856(LS14) Shipment Status. Revisions
based upon the May PRC comments were reviewed and additional
minor changes were accepted. DLA was requested to research
whether the shipment value for DRMO intransit control has
increased. Corrections will be posted and this IC will be
included on the LFWG September agenda. Copies of the corrected
TC will be available at the September PRC meeting.

ACTION: As noted above. Also, DAASC will identify requirement
for inclusion of DLSS DI Code AT and AK equivalents under DLMS.
DLMSO must take action to ensure that all mapping documents are
properly updated (including those reviewed at the early PRC
meetings). Components were advised to check for current use of
DLSS multi-purpose fields which were not included in DLMS

mapping.

d. Automatic Identification Technology (AIT). Mr.
Mark Reboulet, AF AIT Program Manager, provided an overview on
AIT including discussion of the DoD Concept of Operations and the
current AF initiative to apply new technology to the military
shipping label. Under the AF plan, the revised shipping label,
DD Form 1387, would carry linear bar coding as well as two-
dimensional bar coding formatted in accordance with ANSI MH10.8M
standards. The larger capacity of the 2-D bar code would allow
the label to carry a significant amount of transportation and



(2) TS 870(LS17) Notice of Availability Reply.
The PRC (with DLA first) will research requirements for inclusion
of all streamlined data. An enhancement to include a revised
ship-to address in the transaction set was accepted. It is
anticipated that this IC will be included on the LFWG September
agenda.

(3) TS 870(LS44) SPR/LASE Status. Minor changes
noted. This IC will be included on the LFWG September agenda.
Components were requested to determine whether off-line narrative
comments are ever used with rejected SPR transactions (SPR Status
Code PF). Additionally, DAASC was tasked to run a query against
Document Identifier Code DYK, SPR Status transactions, with SPR
Status Code PF to determine the frequency of use of code PF.

(4) TS 846(LS56) LR Transfer/Decapitalization.
Minor changes noted. This IC will be included on the LFWG
September agenda.

(5) TS 846(LS57) LR Order/Reply. Minor changes
noted, This IC will be included on the LFWG September agenda.

(6) TS 536(LS33) LR Management Data. Many issues
were left open for resolution of the Integrated Materiel
Management Committee (IMMC). This IC includes Product Quality
Discrepancy Report (PQDR) data and was designed prior to the DLMS
TS 842. The PRC/IMMC should consider which IC is most
appropriate for this use.

(7) TS 846(LS60) Asset Status Inquiry/Report.
Minor changes noted. DLMSO will review for impact of agreements
reached at the June 1996 joint Component TAV meeting and provide
corrected Ic for review in September. It is anticipated that
this IC will be included on the LFWG September agenda.

(8) TS 888(LS29) Storage Item Correction. Minor
changes noted. This IC will be included on the LFWG September
agenda.

(9) TS 870(LS12) - Supply Status. A cursory
review highlighted some problem areas which will be addressed
prior to a detailed review during the September PRC meeting.
Components were asked to review the list of organizations
identified in the Nl segment in advance of the meeting.

Five additional ICs were reviewed for changes made as a result of
previous PRC review or LFWG review:


Specific instructions must be provided to DAASC for action.

(3) Lifting the Moratorium on Proposed Changes.
Members of the PRC sought published guidance on the lifting of
the moratorium on submission of proposed changes to the DLSS.

ACTION: DLMSO will address the necessity of issuing appropriate
guidance.

e. Future Supply PRC Meetings. The next PRC meeting
has been scheduled for September 3-12, 1997. In addition to open
issues above, this meeting will address implementation status of
Joint AMCLs 12 (MILSTRAP) and 43 (MILSTRIP), Maintaining
Accountability During Maintenance Actions; AMCL 23A, MILSTRIP
Advice Codes to Ship Newest Materiel with No Less Than 75 Percent
of the Shelf Life Remaining; AMCL 14 (MILSTRAP), Revised Asset
Status Reporting; and remaining DLMS ICs.

supply data. A guideline document will be provided to DLMSO in
September 1997, for appropriate staffing under configuration
management procedures.

ACTION: Mr. Reboulet requested support of the Supply PRC in
development of the data requirements for the shipping label.

f. Additional Discussion and Action Items

(1) DLMS Streamlining. Currently, the DLSS
operate on a whole transaction basis whereby follow-on
transactions repeat a large amount of the original transaction
data. The DLMS was built upon a policy of not transmitting data
already available at the receiving computer. For example, under
current procedures, if a previously transmitted requisition is to
be canceled, the cancellation transaction includes the entire
original requisition. Much of the original data such as the
original priority or advice data are not necessary in the
cancellation and were not included in DLMS exchanges. When it
was decided that the DLMS must accommodate conversion, some of
the original DLSS data was reintroduced in the DLMS ICs (e.g.,
Signal Code, Fund Code, RIC, Media and Status Code). Other
“streamlined” data was never recaptured and this has become the
subject of much concern. The PRC has recommended that
streamlined data be maintained in the DLMS so that computer
applications will not reject the converted DLSS transaction due
to missing data fields. Because each Service/Agency must be able
to process the various DLSS transactions in numerous computer
applications, the task of verifying what data is truly required
for processing was not considered feasible. With the exception
of the NOA Reply (which is being researched), it was agreed that
much of the original DLSS data will be carried in the DLMS with
specific notes to facilitate identification and future deletion.

ACTION: DLMSO Administrators will modify ICs accordingly. The
PRC Co-Chairs are particularly disheartened by this development
which they consider to be a step backward.

(2) DLMS Plus. The second part of the DLMS-DLSS
conversion problem is that enhanced data carried in the DLMS
transactions cannot be passed on to the DLSS. Various techniques
for passing the enhanced data from DAASC to the recipient were
considered, but this concept, termed DLMS Plus, was not
formalized.

ACTION: PRC members are encouraged to address this issue through
their Logistics Information Board (LIB) DLMS Implementation Work
Group representative, and their Component implementation plan.

new FAD definitions have been released for coordination. He also
expressed an interest in exploring F/AD II abuse; however, the
resulting discussion was discouraging. Components do not
maintain current lists of authorized F/AD II activities making
identification of abuse difficult.

Action: Mr. Trepal/CDR Woods will continue to monitor status of
security issues and advise the PRC in September. Army will
report results of their research at the next meeting. AF will
attempt to quantify the special operations/off-station high
priority requisitions.

g. AMCLs 11 (MILSTRIP) and 15 (MILSTRAP), Expanded
Materiel Receipt Acknowledgment (MRA) Procedures. The draft
Third Addendum revisions to MILSTRIP was distributed for
comments. The MILSTRAP portion will be available shortly. (See
May minutes for details.)

ACTION: Components are expected to provide concurrence/comments
on the MILSTRIP revisions.

h. Development of a DoD Standard Weapons Systems
Designator Code (WSDC). Discussion deferred until September.

Action: As stated in the May minutes, Components will research
requirements and provide feedback to DLMSO. Coding structure and
desired level of identification should be addressed. If adequate
information is provided, DLMSO will offer a strawman proposal at
the PRC meeting. A demonstration by DLA of their new system will
be added to the September agenda.

i. Table 1/Table 2 Mapping. In response to
Mr. Featherstone’s concerns documented in the May minutes, DLMSO
consulted with ANSI X12 participants to ascertain the feasibility
of implementing the override technique. Responses were all
positive, however industry applications were not as extensive as
the DLMS.

Action: DLMSO will limit future use. No action to revise
existing ICs will be taken at this time.

3. Outstanding AMCLs. The PRC reiterated the need to
address implementation issues for open AMCLs which were
originally scheduled for implementation in 1993 and later, but
were put on hold during the Corporate Information Management
(CIM) single standard system effort. PRC members asked if Joint
Logistics Systems Center (JLSC) might be a possible source of


c. DD Form 1348-1A, Issue Release/Receipt Document.
MILSTRIP Interim Change 97-3 (1313502 JUN 97) clarifies current
MILSTRIP procedures regarding the interchangeability of the
DD Form 1348-1A with the DD Form 1348-2, Issue Release/Receipt
Document with Address Label, and the authority to use the DD Form
1348-2 without preprinted postage data on the attached address
label. Apparently distribution of the interim change was not
fully successful; therefore, a copy is provided at Enclosure 3.

ACTION: The planned followup for DD Form 1348-1A implementation
and termination of DD Form 1348-1 will be addressed during the
September PRC meeting.

d, Service-Unique Requirements under DLMS. DIMSO
reiterated the need for the Services/Agencies to address
requirements for incorporation of new or existing Service-unique
data/transaction formats within the DLMS. All proposed changes
must be documented and coordinated under the change proposal
process.

@. Proposed DLMS Change 10, Identification of Flight
Safety Critical Aircraft Parts (FSCAP) in Issue, Release, and
Receipt Documents. This change adds identification of FSCAP to
the Defense Turn-In Document/DLMS transaction. DLA recommended
that the Disposal Release Order (DRO) format also be amended to
include the FSCAP codes. Components suggested additional changes
to clarify the format for data entry in block 27 of the turn-in
document.

Action: DIMSO will contact the initiator to obtain specifics for
data entry format and will restaff the change proposal to include
the DRO revision.

f£. Approved DLSS/DLMS Change 9, Validation of F/AD I
Activities. This change established an automated process to
validate F/AD I requisitions using a table of authorized activity
DoDAACs maintained at the DLA Systems Design Center (DSDC)/
Defense Automatic Addressing System Center (DAASC). Unresolved
classification issues have delayed implementation. In the
interim, the PRC has attempted verification of perceived abuse
using the DAASC prepared inquiry. The Air Force reported that
two base operating systems erroneously identified thousands of
requisitions as high priority. GSA documented the status of
their investigation and provided additional information
concerning federal application of priority designators.

Mr. Trepal, DUSD(L/MDM), introduced CDR Hubert (Woody) Woods who
will be working F/AD issues at J-4. Mr. Trepal reported that the

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) Supply
Process Review Committee (PRC) Meeting, July 14-18,
199?

Purpose: The Defense Logistics Management Standards Office
(DLMSO) hosted a Supply PRC meeting on July 14-18, 1997, at the
Headquarters Complex, Ft. Belvoir, VA. The primary focus of this
meeting was DLMS implementation convention (IC) review.
Additional discussion topics are noted below. The agenda is
shown at Enclosure 1. A list of attendees is shown at Enclosure
2.

Brief Summary of Discussion: Ms. Ellen Hilert and Ms. Mary
Jane Johnson, Supply PRC Co-Chairs, and Ms. Vermella Savage,
MILSTRIP Administrator, provided opening remarks and facilitated
discussion of agenda items below.

Review of Prior Meeting Agenda Items:

a. Proposed DLMS Change 1, DD Form 1348-1B, Issue
Release/Receipt Document, and DD Form 1348-2A, Issue Release/
Receipt Document with Address Label. The Services/Agencies were
reminded that they must provide comments to DLMSO. The original
due date was March 10, 1996. No New Status.

b. PMC 40, Processing Cooperative Logistics Supply
Support Arrangement (CLSSA) Requisitions. DLMSO issued the
Request for Implementation Date (RFID) for this change intended
to clarify policy relative to use of Not Mission Capable
Supply/Anticipated Not Mission Capable Supply (NMCS/ANMCS) and
expedite handling codes. The RFID did not accurately reflect the
November PRC agreement to honor coding for NMCS/ANMCS conditions
(codes “E” and “N”} and expedite handling codes “555" and “777"
for programmed CLSSA requisitions only.

ACTION: DLMSO will reissue the RFID based upon changes discussed
at this meeting. The Air Force will coordinate the changes
internally prior to release of the RFID to assure that the intent
of the change is properly recorded and that all parties remain in
agreement.

MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Obsolete Demilitarization (DEMIL) Codes

The purpose of this memorandum is to request your assistance in correcting a problem
involving DEMIL codes. DoD Inventory Contro{ Points (ICPs) are responsible for assigning and
changing DEMIL codes for DoD items of supply. For NATO and friendly foreign government
items, the Defense Logistics Services Center is responsible for DEMIL coding. The DEMIL
codes listed in DoD 4160.21-M-1, Defense Demilitarization Manual, were revised effective
February 14, 1995, with the concurrence of the Military Services and Defense Agencies. With
that revision, the DEMIL codes at Attachment 1 became obsolete, and the responsible activities
were to have begun converting the obsolete codes on record to the appropriate current codes. It
is now approaching a year and a half since the code change took place, and over 91,000 obsolete
DEMIL codes still remain on record for DoD items; that total increases to over 214, 000 when
NATO and foreign country items are included. The data at Attachment 2 is based on an extract
provided by DLSC and shows the number of items with obsolete DEMIL codes (not including
blank codes), by activity, on record as of July 16, 1996.

‘The continued use of obsolete DEMIL codes jeopardizes DoD’s ability to properly dispose of
excess and surplus property. Defense Reutilization and Marketing Offices (DRMOs) have been
accepting turn-ins of property with obsolete codes and challenging them in an effort to determine
the true code. The DEMIL challenge process is time consuming and causes property to be held
at the DRMOs pending the challenge resolution. In order to keep the property moving, the
Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) has, in some cases, been researching the
obsolete coded items to determine the correct code and processing the property accordingly.
However, DEMIL code determination and changes are not DRMS’ responsibility.

In view of the above, we request expedited efforts to convert obsolete DEMIL codes still on
record to the appropriate current code. In the interest of coding accuracy, items should be
resecrched as necessary to determine the correct code, in lieu of simply making mass coding
changes. If DEMIL training is needed in conjunction with this effort, it may be available through
the Army Logistics Management College; point of contact is Mr. Les Mooring, DSN 539-4318.

This is to also advise DRMS that, effective 90 days from the date of this letter, DRMOs
should no longer accept Disposal Turn-In Documents having an obsolete DEMIL code. After
that date, generating activities attempting to make such turn-ins will be requested to apply the
correct current code of record before the property can be accepted. We take this action based on
