•± Do±the±checklist.±
Complete all activities on the customer conversion
checklist (CCC) at the D-180 preparation brief.
•± Get±to±know±your±resource±manager±(RM).
GCSS-Army is more than a
replacement for the Standard Army Retail Supply System (SARSS). It’s the
future financial system of record for units. Supply support activities (SSAs)
and their customers need RM expertise to make a successful transition.
After conversion, RMs will take a lead role as finances become part of the
supply and maintenance activities.
•± Complete±data±cleansing.
All items must be “converted” before your SSA
is a functioning GCSS-Army warehouse. Tracking and completing data
cleansing using the PM’s templates are keys to success. This
includes converting UIC/DODAAC information into the “new force
element” structure.
•± Train±before,±during±and±after±conversion.
Units that complete both live
and web-based GCSS-Army training are more successful during the fielding
process and transition. After fielding, use GCSS-Army’s new equipment
training materials to stay current and to train new Soldiers.
•± Leave±nobody±behind.
The most successful conversions happen in
units where personnel attend all planned events, including specific
cutover training.
•± Check±in±with±the±SASMO.±
Your unit’s SASMO will play a big role in
keeping your GCSS-Army system humming. Get them involved early and
your conversion will go smoother.
