quantity is lined out, but not obliterated, and the quantity actually received is marked directly below the lined-out quantity. The word Discrepancy is stamped or written on the document. Depending upon the circumstances of the exception, the material is placed either in stock or in a temporary holding area pending disposition. The marked document is then forwarded to the financial inventory control/clerical function section for exception processing. Material Turned in to Store Navy material returned nom the customer to stock points has traditionally been called material turned into store (MTIS). Stock points carry material in stores accounts such as Navy Stock Account (NSA) or appropriation purchase account (APA). MTIS is used primarily to take ready for issue (RFI) turn in from customer activities and return them to stock to meet anticipated requirements. When a retail stock point does not carry the MTIS in stock, a formal inquiry procedure to declare the material excess to the wholesale item manager via the DOD material returns program (MRP) is initiated according to instructions as outlined in NAVSUP P-437, chapter 2. MTIS is placed in local stock when the item is within the authorized retention limit of the activ- ity. MTIS SCREENING AND IDENTIFICA- TION.— A material screening and identification section should be available at all shore activities for MTIS. MTIS is held in this section during the screening and identification process. During the screening process, material received with proper documentation and packed in a professionally packaged container is inspected using the same procedures as a routine receipt from other sources. Effective MTIS operation requires the use of technical reference material for identification process and decision making in determining when to place the item(s) in stock (with or without credit), when to send an excess inquiry to the item manager, or when to determine that the item has no use to the Navy and qualifies for transfer to the DRMO. The following resource documents should be available for personnel performing the MTIS screening to use in this decision-making process: Management List- Consolidated (ML-C); Master Cross Reference List (MCRL); Master Repairable Item List (MRIL); Navy Item Control Number (NICN) to National Item Identification Number (NIIN); and the demand history record (either microfiche or printout) when available. Upon receipt of MTIS, receiving personnel should verify quantity and check in the material as follows: l l Release a receipted copy of the turn-in document to the representative of the activity turning in the material (when such representative is available and has provided one additional copy of the DD Form 1348-1 for this purpose). Attach a minimum of three copies, and any additional available copies of the DD Form 1348-1, to the material and forward to the area designated for screening and identification, if required. SCREENING DETERMINATION.— MTIS is identified and classified under one of the following categories as described in the following infor- mation: For material identified by federal supply class or federal supply group in an RFI condition and for which the instructions provide that the material will be taken up in stock, the annotation Ready for Issue (RFI) is made on the receipt document. For mandatory turn-in repairable (MTR) material that is not in an RFI (NRFI) condition, the MRIL should be used to identify the appropriate MTR processing activity where the material will be shipped. However, activities supported by a Hub must ship NRFI retrograde via the ATAC Hub. Material not required for stock, regardless of its condition upon receipt, is subject to an inquiry from the wholesale manager for disposition and held pending reply. For material determined to be scrap, the annotation Excess-Dispose of Scrap is applied to the receipt document. The decision to send any material to the DRMO should be considered very seriously for other than valid scrap. Any items in doubt should be referred to the inventory control officer for final determination. When proper classification of the material has been determined, a minimum of three copies of the DD Form 1348-1 for each classification of material should be marked with one of the descriptions discussed above. A copy of the DD Form 1348-1 must be attached to the 3-10
