Maintain General Defense Item Data
Explanation
Use this activity to maintain general item attribute data required when creating
the iRAPT messages and/or the DD250 Report for a shipment related to a Defense
Contract Order including the item.
Depending on the Item Type, CLIN, SLIN etc. the general Item data can be
set and/or maintained in the general tab located in the Defense Contract Order
Delivery- or Defense Contract Order Sub-Delivery page.
The following item attribute data can be maintained:
- ACRN - Accounting Classification Reference Number
- MILSTRIP Number - Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures
Number
- Purchase Request No
- SDN - Standard Document Number
- FMS Case ID - Foreign Military Sales Case ID
- UID Exempt Indicator - UID refers to the Government Program of Uniquely
Identifying items. If selected, the item doesn’t need any Item Unique Identifier,
or IUID for short. The IUID is the actual number that identifies an item.
- Product Service Type
- A Defense Product Service Type can be used to define what to use
as identification for the items included in a Defense Contract Order
when creating the DD250 Report or the iRAPT messages
- Inspection Point
- Determines when to Inspect the Item, S (Source), D (Destination)
or
O (Other)
- Shipment Advice Type
- First Line Haul
- A Line Haul can be used to define how to transport an item included
in a Defense Contract Order
- Acceptance Point
- Determines when the ownership is transferred from the defense supplier
to the customer, S (Source), D (Destination) or O
- Certificate of Conformance
- A certificate of conformity, or CoC, is issued by an authorized
party (sometimes the manufacturer, sometimes an independent laboratory)
and states that the product meets the required standards or specification.
The CoC can either
be requested by a buyer to ensure the product
being manufactured has been tested and passes the set criteria within
a specification and meets both technical and safety requirements, or
it would be a mandatory requirement as stated by country regulations
and law for certain products, such as Bluetooth devices being sold in
the USA.
- Alternate Release Procedure
- Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) recognizes contractors
who have demonstrated the capability to maintain satisfactory Quality
Management System. If selected it allows the contractor to release shipments
before
obtaining a QAR's (Quality Assurance Representative) signature
in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), or Block 21A of the DD250, Material Inspection
and Receiving Report.
