Enter Condition Code L in record position 71. Enter other data according to MILSTRIP. In the “Ship To” block (block B), enter the shipping code and address according to the disposition message. If an item is being sent to a commercial activity, the shipping code is that of the commercial repair facility. An item being sent to an organic depot will have the shipping code of the collocated supporting supply department (SSD) or designated support point (DSP). The MRIL contains shipping codes used for EI/QDR material. In block D, enter the words “investigation material” and the control number. Use block N for security code, if required. Assign Project code 754 and movement priority designator 03. Enter Condition code L in block P and the JCN in block V. Enter the nomenclature and serial number (if required) in blocks X and Y. Enter the contract number, project order, or other material data in blocks AA-CC, and send a copy to ASO (_R Cog). Enter the words “PACKAGING REQUIRED” in block EE if the item requires additional packaging by a transshipping activity. Enter the UIC and name of the receiving activity in block 11 if the item is turned over to another Navy activity for transshipment. Enter the Julian date of shipment in block 12. Refer to NAVSUPINST 4440.187 for additional policies and procedures for control of DLR forwarded for investigation. The DD Form 1348-1 must be stamped with “EI” or ”QDR,” in 3-inch letters without obliterating any vital data element. This will help in receipt and routing of material. The activity shipping the item for investigation is responsible for notifying the receiving activity about the shipment. When notified by CFA that the EI/QDR exhibits have not been received, supply will assist in locating the material. The supply department must process any EI/QDR items to be shipped directly to a contractor’s plant or released to a contractor’s representative. Supply will issue the item on a custody basis, only after receiving the authority from the MECFA. Ship DLR exhibits destined to a commercial contractor’s depot via ATAC hubs for processing. In NALCOMIS activities, SSU uses conversation codes N618 and N667 as primary conversation codes in the computer. The SSU uses conversation codes N659, N660, N668, N675, N677, and N679 as supporting conversations. The DCU will process components returned from the IMA on conversation code N621. When using conversation code N621, the computer will record the disposition of the component and produce the hardcopy notice to accompany the component. Also, this conversation code will produce a DD Form 1348-1 issue document for RFI components being issued to the original requestor. It also produces a DD 1348-1 shipping documents for components with confirmed BCM action. Conversation code N621 will generate a stow notice if the RFI item is for stock. Refer to the NALCOMIS User's Manual for more details on SSU procedures.
