As DFAS is both a buyer and seller in the MILS process it is affected by: -- incoming requisitions (MILSTRIP), -- interfund bills (MILSBILLS), -- contract information (MILSCAP), -- and in the transportation arena (MILSTAMP) 5. Recommendations to ensure new systems are developed with the new requirements - For example: DEAMS (Defense Enterprise Acctg and Mgmt System), Navy ERP, and Army GFEBS (General Fund Enterprise Business System) Page 4
