Dear Bonnie,
My supervisor handed me an incoming repair part that should have been
a nut, sheet spring, NSN 5310-01-208-3739. On FED LOG it costs
48 cents.
The item we received was a receptacle, PN 7892000188, made by
Manitowoc, NSN 5310-01-208-3789, priced at $300.
I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.
SGT P.M.
Dear Sergeant P.M.,
You have a common supply discrepancy that requires a Supply Discrepancy Report
(SDR) (formerly called a ROD, or report of discrepancy). Supply discrepancies
include incorrect and misdirected material, improper or inadequate technical
data or supply documentation, and an unsatisfactory condition due to improper
packaging. (See AR 735-11-2,
Reporting of Supply Discrepancies,
(Aug 01), page
40, Glossary, Section II, Supply Discrepancy.)
The SDR is F
led using an S± 364 or its electronic equivalent. You can submit SDRs
online by going to the Army Electronic Product Support (AEPS) public website:
Look at the bottom of the center
column titled Public Applications and
click on
Submit Supply Discrepancy
Reports
. ±ill in all the information
and submit. AEPS will automatically
route it to the right source of supply for
resolution.
In many cases you will need to save
the item in question as an exhibit.
You can discuss your questions about
SDRs with your logistics assistance
representative. Generally, don’t get
rid of the item until you get disposition
instructions in response to your SDR.
You might be asked to turn in the
item. You may be told to resubmit your
order. There are a number of things
that disposition instructions can have
you do.
The codes for these instructions can be found in App ±,
Typical Action Activity
Responses Listed by Disposition/status Code,
AR 735-11-2.
So, when you have a supply discrepancy, submit an
SDR through the AEPS website to get resolution.
