Phase I, Stand-Alone Tracking
Phase I established procedures for tracking issue and return transactions for
designated EP NSNs by Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC).
Three new data elements—the Exchange Price value, the Delta Bill value (the
difference between the SP and the EP), and the Serviceable Exchange Price Return
credit value—were added to the Army Master Data File (AMDF) on FED LOG for
all EP items.
It became possible to display, review and analyze unit performance by DODAAC
for matched and unmatched issues with turn-ins as measured against the DDP.
Phase II, One-for-One Credit
Last October, EP Phase II allowed credit for designated Army SARSS customers
only for issue of like reparable items as set in DFAS Regulation 37-1, Chapter 13. This
ended the practice of granting unserviceable and serviceable credit for all reparable
turn-ins.
In December, the EP system began reporting expired DDPs on the 5th day of
the month after the expiration.
Recoverable Items Tracking under EP centralized the reporting of recoverable
items to the Logistics Support Activity’s Logistics Information Warehouse/Integrated
Logistics Analysis Program (LIW/ILAP) for issues and turn-ins of all items with a
recoverability code of A, D, F, H, K or L.
Phase III, Full Exchange Pricing
Phase III implemented the full version of Exchange Pricing on May 1st.
The LIW/ILAP and Funds Control Module tracks issue and turn-in transactions. If
an EP item is issued and a like unserviceable item is not returned within the established
DDP, an obligation adjustment Delta Bill will be triggered and processed at DFAS to
charge the unit the difference between the standard price and the EP.
When EP ±nancial triggers are activated during Phase III they will only pertain to
a recoverable NIIN that is also an EP NIIN.
EP will eventually migrate to the future Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
systems of Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) and Logistics
Modernization Program (LMP).

MRAP Rear Ramp Motor
The rear ramp hydraulic motors and accumulators on MRAP MaxxPro and Maxx ProPlus
ambulances are breaking down, keeping the rear ramp from fully opening or closing. Units
need to call the SWA Theater Retro±t Coordinator, Mr. Mike Davis at DSN (318) 483-2739, or
send an email to:
michael.w.davis@iraq.centcom.mil
He will arrange for the vehicles to be retro±tted at the nearest RSA, or will send a team to
the unit to complete the retro±t. Take a look at the Army Electronic Product Support (AEPS)
restricted website for more info:
SINCGARS AAC of V
If you want to order a part for your SINCGARS radio and the AMDF shows an acquisition advice
code (AAC) of V, order the part! Yes, an AAC of V means the item is terminal, but it also means
it is still supported by the supply system as long as the current stock lasts. And, according to the
supply folks, there are still many terminal item parts on the shelves for SINCGARS.
When there are no more available, the AAC will change to “Y”. Additionally, the
maintenance expenditure limit (MEL) for all ground SINCGARS radios has been raised to 100
percent regardless of age. This info will be in an upcoming change to TB 43-0002-11.
M113A3 FOV Engine Oil AOAP Check
Mechanics, take note of a change to the engine and transmission oil semiannual check in WP
0155 00-28 of TM 9-2350-277-20-2. The ±rst NOTE says to avoid sampling new or overhauled
engines until the second oil change. Change this NOTE to read, “Follow hardtime oil change
interval (semiannually or every 1,500 miles, whichever comes ±rst) for ±rst two oil changes.
Continue to submit AOAP samples to monitor oil condition for wear-metals, fuel and water
contamination during this initial break-in period, IAW 750-1.” The DA Form 2026,
Oil Analysis
Request,
submitted with the sample should be outlined in RED marker indicating that it is a
special AOAP sample. Indicate that the sample is from a “Break-in Engine” in the Remarks
block of the form. AOAP analysis complies with the Army Warranty Program, so when an
analysis shows problems, make sure you contact the warranty coordinator before performing
the recommended maintenance.
