You unit
TAMMS
/
PLL
clerks order parts
all day long. But data
conflicts between the
FED LOG-AMDF
and your
tech manuals can make
that day
very
long.
But the
FED LOG-AMDF
actually
shows the part
with an
ARC
of
D
(Durable)
and an
SCMC
of
2E
(Class
II general supply item).
Well, you can report bad
AMDF
codes to the
USAMC
Logistics Support Activity
(LOGSA)
.
LOGSA
even helps you
expedite your report with
the discrepancy report-
ing system
(DIREP)
.
DIREP
tells you what it
needs from you to challenge
bad codes, keeps you informed
with monthly reports and only
closes the challenge when a
final solution is sent to you.
DIREP
lets you challenge
every
FED LOG-AMDF
data
element except for the unit
price, line item number
(LIN)
and demilitarization code
(DML).
The headaches
you avoid will
be your own.
To use
DIREP,
just send LOGSA
the following
info…
☛
Your name, mailing address and commercial/
DSN phone number.
☛
The NSN with questionable codes.
☛
ID the codes you think are wrong and show
what they are in the current FED LOG-AMDF.
☛
Tell LOGSA what you think the codes should
be and why.
☛
Mail
to the Commander, USAMC LOGSA, ATTN:
AMXLS-MLA (DIREP), Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000.
☛
Using the on-line form
at
avc/direp.htm
. You will have to scroll down and click on
DIREP ON-LINE FORM to bring it up.
☛
E-mail
to
direp@logsa.army.mil
.
☛
Phone
to the DIREP POC at (256) 955-0595 or
DSN 645-0595 or fax your DIREP challenge to
(256) 955-7720 or DSN 645-7720.
DML code challenges go to the Defense
Logistics Information Service (DLIS)
DML Coding Management Office. Call
them at (616) 961-4282, DSN 932-4282,
e-mail
DCMO@dlis.dla.mil
, or on-line at
.
If you use the AMDF every day, then
you know that AMDF codes affect unit
maintenance and supply operations.
So, when you find bad codes in the
FED LOG-AMDF, challenge them.
You know the
AMDF
data
is wrong, but what
can you do about it?
The
AMDF
should
show an
accounting requirements
code (
ARC
) of X
(Expendable) and a supply
category of material code
(
SCMC
) of 9K (Class IX
tactical vehicle part).
For example, a truck TM shows a
part as a Class
IX
repair part.
Unit price challenges must be submitted on-line at
mil/problemsolver/pricech.cfm
.
LIN challenges must be reported by e-mail to
sb70020@ logsa.army.mil
.
