None. You’ve straightened me
out on using advice codes on
requisitions. Thanks, Connie.
“If you need a specific item-
such as the pliers with skinners
-use advice code 2B-
Requested
item only will suffice. Do not
substitute.
You will get
exactly what you ordered.”
“As for the pliers, the item
manager will send a substitute
if it is available when the
ordered item is out of stock.
These substitutes are show
in the FED LOG-AMDF.”
“The difference is that 2N tells
the manager to issue
exactly
18 feet, while 2P allows him to
issue the entire 20-ft length-
the unit must then cut to fit.
Billing is based on the UI so
it is the same regardless of
the advice code used.”
“For instance, when the AMDF
tells you to go local purchase
but you can’t find the item
locally, submit a requisition
with advice code 2A-Item not
available locally.”
“When the AMDF shows a unit
of issue ( UI) that doesn’t
tell you how much is in one UI,
check out the unit of measure
(UM) and unit measurement
quantity (MEAS-QTY) fields.”
“when you check out the UM and MEAS-QTY
fields, you see it is issued in 10-ft lengths.
To get one continuous length of 18 feet,
you need to use advice code
2N
or, use
2p
if a 20-ft length is needed.”
“For example, the 18-ft
hose, NSN 4720-00-529-
5379, your fuel folks
needed is listed in the
FED LOG-AMDF with UI of
LG (length), which does
not tell you how much.”
Both advice codes
tell the manager
that you need a
continuous length
of hose as indicated
by the UI (RP 23,24)
and quantity fields
(RP 25-29) of your
requisition.
The AAC tells you
how to get an item-
for instance, the
AAC L authorizes
local purchase-
but the advice codes
in AR 725-50 help you
get items when the
AMDF coding doesn’t
support their issue.
Place advice
code 2A in RP
65-66 of your
requisition
2N?
2N!
THEN WE
GOTTA CUT iT
AT 18 FEET
Remember, though,
you
do
increase your
chances of receiving a
back-order when you
restrict the issue to
one specific item.
That’s the
advice code
story. Any
questions?
The FED LOG-AMDF
tells you all you
need to know
about the items
you order, manage
and use daily.
When AMDF codes
conflict with unit
requisitioning
needs, check out
the advice codes
in AR 725-50.
Decide which
advice code to
use: 2N or 2P.
Put it in RP
65-66 of your
requisition
