ome supply folks say that since
FED LOG (federal logistics) replaced
ARMYLOG (Army logistics),
the
AMDF, SB 700-20 and other Army
products have just plain disappeared.
Nope! The AMDF and SB 700-20 are
alive and well in FED LOG. That’s good
because you need the AMDF to route
requisitions and the SB 700-20 to do
your property book work.
FED LOG contains supply informa-
tion that’s used by all the military serv-
ices. It also has data that’s unique to
each military service. For the Army, this
unique data includes the AMDF, SB
700-20 and products like the packaging
and freight files.
“Hold on,” you say. “When I boot up
my FED LOG, there’s no mention of
Army anything. What gives?”
Well, when you boot up FED LOG
you get the DOD file—the Federal
Logistics Information System (FLIS)
file.
Data everyone uses is in this file.
To change to the Army file, simply
click on the
green tank
on the shortcut
toolbar. Now you have the AMDF, SB
700-20 and other Army products at your
fingertips.
Want to define FED LOG informa-
tion, a code or a given field? Just click
on and hold the arrow/question mark
button, drag it to the code/field you want
defined and let it go. Bingo! There’s
your answer!
Click on the red apple and the FED
LOG tutorial comes up. Now you can
train yourself in FED LOG capabili-
ties–at your convenience.
