DLMS Mapping for Air Force Unique Transactions 

Used Between Air Force Locations and ECSS 

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POS INFORMAITON: 

 a. Technical POC: ESC/HGB, DSN 787-8921, Comm. 937.257.8921 

 b. Functional POC: AF/A4IT, DSN 674-0799, Comm. 937.904.0799 

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: 

 a. Primary/Secondary Functional Area: Supply. 

 b. Primary/Secondary Functional Process: Redistribution Orders and Status. 

3. BACKGROUND: 

 a. Intent of the transaction: With the implementation of the Expeditionary Combat 

Support System (ECSS), the AF is eliminating the need for some AF unique transactions. This 

request establishes DLMS mapping for unique AF transactions used between AF locations and 

ECSS: 

 The BF7, Follow-up by ICP to Shipping Activity, transaction is used by the AF ICP to 

request status on a Redistribution Order (RDO) shipment request sent to an internal AF 

storage location or an AF base retail activity. 

 The BL0, Redistribution Order Shipment Confirmation, transaction provides the 

shipment details to the AF ICP 

 The B7A, Redistribution Order Denial, transaction informs the AF ICP of the RDO 

denial. 

 b. Scenario for which the transaction is used: These transactions are only used within the 

Air Force. The AF uses an A2_, Redistribution Order transaction to request that an AF base or 

an internal AF storage location ship materiel to another AF location/customer. The AF shipping 

activity then responds with a BL0, RDO Shipment Confirmation, or a B7A, RDO Shipment 

Denial transaction. If the AF ICP does not receive the shipment confirmation or a denial 

transaction in the allotted timeframe then the AF ICP will follow up using a BF7 transaction. 

 c. Procedures, transactions, data elements, processing details in use today: Refer to 

Enclosure 1, 2, and 3 for the current format of these transactions. 

4. PROPOSED CHANGES(S): Revisions subsequent to PDC staffing are highlighted 

(including corrections provided by AF retail system design center, Gunter AFB).

 

 a. Requested change in detail: 
ADC 405 

Attachment Page 2

(1) Request that the DLA Transaction Services Defense Automatic Addressing System 

(DAAS) convert the BF7, Redistribution Order Follow-Up to Shipping Activity transactions 

generated from an AF Source of Supply (SOS = F**) into a 940R, Follow-up by ICP to Storage 

or Reporting Activity, prior to forwarding to ECSS. BF7 transactions directed to non-ECSS 

subsumed bases will not be converted. 

(2) Request that DAAS convert the 945A, Materiel Release Confirmation - To ICP/IMM 

from Storage Activity transactions generated from ECSS to a BL0 (zero), Redistribution Order 

(RDO) Confirmation transaction, prior to sending to an AF ICP/IMM (Routing Identifier - To = 

D**). BL0 transactions generated by non-ECSS subsumed bases will not be converted. 

 (3) Request that DAAS convert the 945A, Materiel Release Denial transactions 

generated from ECSS to a B7A, Redistribution Order (RDO) Denial transaction, prior to sending 

to an ICP/IMM (Routing Identifier - To = D**). B7A transactions directed to non-ECSS 

subsumed bases will not be converted. 

 b. Alternatives: An alternative would be to program ECSS to generate and accept AF 

unique transactions during Release 1 instead of generating/accepting DLMS transactions. This 

would cause unnecessary system changes to ECSS for these transaction will not be used after 

Release 2 is implemented to include the Wholesale activities. 

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: ECSS is being developed to be DLMS compliant. AF unique 

document identifier codes BF7, BL0, and B7A transactions match well with current DLMS 

equivalent 940R and 945A transaction but they have never been mapped to DLMS. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

 a. Advantages (tangible/intangible): This change is internal to AF and allows the AF to 

establish the foundational DLMS processes in ECSS Release 1 (Retail) that will carry forward 

into Release 2 (Wholesale) with only minor adjustments. 

 b. Disadvantages: Changes to DAAS processing to convert the transactions. 

7. NOTE ANY REGULATIONS OR GUIDANCE: AF Manual (AFMAN) 23-110, Volume 

2, Part 2, and Volume 3, Part 3. 

8. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: This change is for intra-AF use 

only. No change/impact to other Component systems except for DAAS, to include no 

change/impact to the DLA Distribution Standard System at this time. 

9. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Request changes by 

February 1, 2011 in order for ECSS to test the functionality. 

10. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: Unknown. 
ADC 405 

Attachment Page 3

11. IMPACT: 

 a. New DLMS Data Elements: There are no new functional DLMS data elements 

associated with this change request. A new value is established to allow identification of the new 

transaction purpose for the RDO Follow-up (see Enclosure 7). 

 b. Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS). DAAS mapping update is required 

to provide conversion between DLMS and AF unique transactions. Refer to Enclosures 4, 5, and 

6 for a cross-walk between the AF unique transactions and the DLMS transactions. 

 c. DLMS Supplements. Refer to Enclosure 7 for DLMS Supplement updates. 

d. Update DLMS to MILS Legacy Transaction Cross Reference Table:

DLMS Note: 

1. Use to provide confirmation on a material release order. 

(This corresponds to DLSS Document Identifier ARA, ARB, 

AR0, AUA, AUB, or AU0.) 

2. Use to identify Redistribution Order Shipment 

Confirmation. This transaction provides shipment details

activity to the AF ICP (Equates to DI BL0). Authorized 

DLMS migration enhancement in support of ECSS. Refer to 

ADC 405. 

NK Material Release Denial 

DLMS Note: 

1. Use to provide denial (warehouse refusal) information on a 

material release order. (This corresponds 

to DLSS Document Identifier A6_, except A6J) 

2. Use to identify RDO Shipment Denial. This transaction 

provides shipment denial response from an internal AF 

storage location or an AF base retail activity to the AF ICP 

(Equates to DI B7A). Authorized DLMS migration 

enhancement in support of ECSS. Refer to ADC 405.
