Supply…
Advice Codes Save the Day!
Advice Codes Save the Day!
Whoa!
What’s
goin’ on here? We
asked for
one
18-
ft hose-not
two
10-ft ones!
Hey,
Sergeant,
what’s
got you
riled up?
All
those local
purchase items
we ordered
have been
rejected.
“so, What
do we do
now?”
Having
problems,
Sergeant?
Hi, Connie.
Your timing
is perfect!
No sweat, Sergeant.
Your problems can be
solved with
two words…
advice
codes.
I don’t mean
the acquisition
advice code
(AAC) found in
the AMDF.
“I mean the advice codes in
Table C-29 of AR 725-50,
Requisitioning, Receipt and
Issue System
(15 Nov 95).”
“Linemen from
the commo
section came
by next, look-
ing for the
pliers they’d
ordered. The
pliers issued
to them were
a substitute.”
“the sergeant told
me his problems.”
“Moments later the
supply sergeant
came crashing
through the door,
tossed a bundle
of rejected
requisitions on his
desk and plopped
down in his chair.”
“The advice code
goes in record
positions (RP)
65-66 of your
requisition.”
Next, unit fuel
handlers came in
to get the hose
they’d ordered.
When the supply
clerk issued them
two hoses, they
were surprised…
The supply
clerk told
them that
since their
parts were
not
locally
available,
they had to
be ordered.
A supply room
found itself in
trouble when
unit mechanics
came in to pick
up parts that
the FED LOG-
AMDF showed as
local purchase.
We ordered what
you asked for, The
source of supply
(SOS) changed our
order to the two
10-ft hoses!
Use this connector
to join the hoses
together. just Cut
off what you
don’t need.
We asked you to
order NSN 5120-00-
247-2063 and told
you not to accept
any substitutes.
These pliers don’t
have the wire
skinners we need.
Send ‘em back
and get us what
we asked for.
Advice
codes?
That’s
what
tells
you how
to order
an item.
