quipment readiness reporting ratings play a key role in unit success. According to
AR 700-138,
Army Logistics Readiness and Sustainability,
the Army’s equipment
readiness goal for ground equipment and missiles is 90 percent fully mission capable.
But meeting this goal requires keeping accurate equipment records.
The Logistics Support Activity (LOGSA) recently added a tool to the Logistics
Information Warehouse (LIW) to help units reconcile their PBUSE property book
records with their SAMS-1E equipment fles.
By clearing up invalid, mismatched or duplicate records, units can improve their
equipment readiness reporting ratings.
Anyone can access the main LIW website above, but
users also have the option to upload fles to the LIW regional
server that services their specifc region:
Click the Army ILAP link on the main LIW page, then go
the Reports tab and choose File Uploads. Upload your Excel
fle where it says
Upload SAMS-1E Equipment File. Then
run the automated reconciliation tool in LIW.
Complete, step-by-step instructions for using the new tool
are available for download in LIW. After login, go to the
References tab and click on ILAP Documentation.
The reconciliation tool compares your unit’s PBUSE and
SAMS-1E equipment fles. The resulting report includes a
list of matching and non-matching NIINs and serial numbers.
It also shows your unit’s current equipment usage.
Remember, before you edit records in PBUSE or SAMS-
1E, any serial number mismatches that popped up during
the reconciliation process should be visually verifed on
equipment data plates.
For more information or assistance with the reconciliation tool in LIW, call
ILAP support at (800) 631-8377, or email:
support@ilap.army.mil
