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 Standards (DLMS) must reference DoD/ASC X12 Conversion Guides for Unit

of Materiel Measure, Type of Pack and Transportation Method/Type Code, which can be found on the Defense Enterprise Data Standards

Office (DEDSO) Website at www.dla.mil/does/DLMS.

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 DEDSO 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 DEDSO 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 DEDSO 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 DEDSO 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 item unique identification (IUID) information in accordance with DLMS procedures and OSD

Supply Policy. Implementation is limited to the Positive Inventory Control (PIC) nuclear weapon Related Materiel (NWRM) Unique Item

Tracking (UIT) program and the Retail Transportation and Supply Receipt and Acknowledgement Interchange under OSD Supply Policy for

item unique identification (IUID). For all other procedures, the UII information is a placeholder for DLMS enhancement spending

development of DLMS procedures and overarching OSD Supply Policy. Refer to the IUID web at URL: http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/

for DoD policy.

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

the OSD AT&L Strategy.

7. Effective April 1, 2014, Refer to ADC 1075. Users must reference the GENC Standard for country codes

(https://geo.aitcnet.org/NSGREG/genc/discovery) for a listing of authorized values. Under DLMS, use the GENC Digraph (two-character)

code values.

8. This DLMS IC incorporates the following Proposed DLMS Change (PDC) and Approved DLMS Changes (ADC) listed. PDC/ADCs are
