  1. SDR Transformation InitiativeDoD WebSDR Information Exchange under the DLMS

  2. Issue • As a relatively new system, not all Component interfaces have been implemented and WebSDR is experiencing many changes that must be worked with limited programming resources.

  3. Background • What is an SDR? • What is DoD WebSDR? • WebSDR Concept • Goals of Web SDR • SF 364 • DLMS Supplement to Fed IC

  4. What is an SDR? • A Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR) is a tool used to report shipping or packaging discrepancies attributable to the responsibility of the shipper, (including Government sources, contractors/ manufacturers or vendors) and to provide appropriate responses and resolution. • The purpose of this exchange is to determine the cause of such discrepancies, effect corrective action, and prevent recurrence.

  5. What is DoD WebSDR? • SDR Transformation Initiative • Transitions current mixed-environment to interoperable DoD Standard • Developed as a DLMS-compliant process, set in motion under OSD Business Initiatives Council in 2004 • WebSDR architecture is based upon a DAAS hub for communication and centralized data management • Eliminates the need for numerous point-to-point communications links • Transaction driven process eliminates the need to re-key SDRs within separate Component systems • Automatic e-mail reply to customer triggered by reply transaction eliminates action activity manual steps to print/mail/fax

  6. WebSDR Concept • Phased development • Continuous process improvement beginning at initial operating capability (Feb 2005) • Working toward full DLMS compliant information exchange • Benefits include: • Near real time SDR reporting for immediate identification and more speedy resolution of reported discrepancies • Facilitates interoperability internal and external to DoD • Supports unique item identification and other DoD initiatives • Maximizes the economy, efficiency, effectiveness • Future capture of perfect order fulfillment computations

  7. Goals of Web SDR • Quicker Response/Less Effort • Reduces delays resulting from misrouted SDRs or mailed documents • Electronic interface eliminates data entry at action activity • Facilitated web-based entry available • Auto-fill feature uses DAAS requisition history to populate SDR • Data content targeted to specific discrepant condition • May be used by Military Services/Agencies (individual Service rules may differ) • Contractors may use for discrepancies related to Government Furnished Material • Transaction exchange through logistics hub • ILCOs (using AFSAC pilot) will interface with the DAAS/WebSDR on behalf of FMS customers • DoD Component processing systems will interface with DAAS on a staggered implementation schedule

  8. Business Object: DLMS 842A Derived from SF 364 • Modernized systems will use business objects to transmit SDRs • DLMS 842A available in X12 and XML format • Includes data fields from the original SF 364 plus more • DLMS codes to support transactional exchange • Component-unique data requirements • Place holders for future enhancements, e.g., UID

  9. Business Object: DLMS 842A DLMS Supplement to Fed IC DoD 4000.25-M • Primary business object documentation is the DLMS Supplement (DS): • The DS establishes the DoD standard format for an electronic equivalent of the SF 364/SDR. • The DS provides specific business rules, conditions, and authorized codes necessary for appropriate use of this IC within the DLMS. • Used to replace Component unique formats and paper form.

  11. Email Distribution • Confirmation copy for Web input • Business rule driven • Transaction driven • Customer response

  12. Discussion • Resource Constraints • System Interfaces • Timeline • Progress to date • DLMS Changes

  13. Resource Constraints • WebSDR is currently funded out of the DAASC budget • One lead programmer with minimal other support • 77 Tasks Pending • 24 - 36 Month Backlog, causing delays and frustration among user community • New Requirements added on an on-going basis • Initiative Forwarded to BTA to request additional funding

  14. Systems Implementation Phased implementation beginning with initial operating capability (IOC): • Ability to receive and pass SDR information using transactional exchange or email • Ability to create SDRs via DoD WebSDR (submission, follow-up, change, cancel, reply, request reconsideration) • DoD SDR data base • Limited query capability • USAF, USMC,USCG, FAA Phased Implementation of System Interfaces Implemented: __________________Development/testing: - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  15. Timeline

  16. Progress to Date • Operational interfaces via transaction: • DSS (842) • BSM (842) • AFSAC (842) • CDCS (legacy) • Limited query capability • Web Input • Email routing/distribution copies

  17. Related DLMS Changes • ADC 158: Clarifies pre-positioned material receipt (PMR) requirements. Receiving DD required to submit SDR to ICP when new procurement material is received without prior PMR • ADC 174: Enhances Item Unique Identification (IUID) capability • ADC 184: Establishes new type R SDRs (properly routes discrepant Redistribution Order shipments identified at receipt to the DD that shipped the material) • ADC 187: Enhances system capability to forward SDRs sent to wrong action activity back through WebSDR to correct action activity

  18. Related DLMS Changes • ADC 188: Establishes new Quality related discrepancy codes for DD to notify ICP regarding specific quality related issues (receipt & storage) Q11 = Returned or stock screen item, PQDR exhibit deficiency Q22 = New procurement receipt, customer return, redistribution order or stock screen item quality deficiency, contractual noncompliance Q33 = Returned, redistribution order, or stock screened item suspected material deficiency (DLA CRII items only) Q44 = New procurement receipt, customer return, redistribution order or stock screen item contracting deficiency, for specification and/or technical data deficient Q77 = New receipt, customer return, redistribution order or stock screen item identified as a Critical Safety Item (CSI) Q55 = Item under investigation Q66 = Customer return or stock screen item failed under use Q99 = New receipt item received for “First Article Test”

  19. Related DLMS Changes • ADC 196: Establishes new rules and WebSDR capability to route SDRs resulting from DLA-directed lateral redistribution of NAMI-owned (AJ2) material to NAMI for initial processing • Phased implementation; programming in progress • Programmatic recognition of LRO under TAV with routing to NAMI • ADC 206: Establishes new discrepancy code for discrepant wood packaging material (WPM) • Implemented September 1, 2006 • ADC 207: Establishes new discrepancy codes to identify discrepant hazardous material at receipt or in storage • Effective 1 October

  20. Related DLMS Changes • ADC 210: Enhances web-entry for specific user groups: • Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS): Gives DRMS capability to distinguish different types of SDRs, e.g., sales, donations, demil • National Inventory Management Strategy (NIMS): Allows NIMS sites to properly identify their submissions for DD/ICP processing • Non-DSS DD: Allows storage sites to submit type 8, 9, R (depot receipt type) SDRs directly into WebSDR to be routed electronically to the owner/manger/shipper as applicable

  21. Related DLMS Changes • PDC 230: Establishes new discrepancy codes for discrepancies related to passive RFID tags • PDC under development for DAAS edit to systemically reject SDRs with invalid document numbers back to submitter or submitting system (establishes duplicate criteria) • PDC under development for new query to identify/measure DLA Customer Interaction Center input on behalf of customer (hard copy or other reporting method)

  22. Next Steps for WebSDR • Electronic interfaces with Service systems: • AFSAC-A operational; improvements ongoing – expand to other Service ILCOs • Two-way communication with AEPS (Army) • Testing DLMS X12 XML interface with NSDRS (Navy) • Testing DLMS X12 interface with PDREP for DoD-wide distribution of SA quality reports • Complete interface with GSA • Develop management reports and ad hoc queries (better & more functionality) • Associate financial view (debit/credit) with discrepancy report query • Complete implementation of DLMS Changes and ongoing enhancements • Support BTA submission for funding • Prioritize programming requirements
