processing. Upon receipt of the processed MAF copy
from DSF, DCU files and retains it for 2 years.
The NALCOMIS conversation code N270 is the
Automated Aeronautical Material Screening Unit
(AMSU) Receipt. The AMSU uses this conversation to
screen and induct items being turned-in for repair from
the IMA. The AMSU uses conversation code N271 to
screen and induct items turned-in by squadrons,
ASD/SSC, or other external organizations. Processing
in these conversation codes will create a DIFM record
for tracking of items through the repair cycle. The
process will also clear the IOU and suspense records.
The completed requisition file contains the signed
copies of issues from the local repair cycle asset
(LRCA). Upon receipt of proof of delivery copy from
MDU, DCU files a copy, by document number sequence
within organization code, in the completed requisition
file. The DCU sends the signed DD Form 1348 (6 pt)
hardback copy or DD Form 1348-1 to RCU for the POD
file.
The EXREP or work stoppage file contains the DD
Form 1348 (6 pt) for outstanding requisitions. This file
represents the requirements for repairable items to be
repaired by the IMA. When requisitions are in EXREP
or work stoppage status, DCU files the DD Form 1348
in part number or national item identification number
(NIIN) sequence. Activities may use VIDS board for
maintaining this file. The NALCOMIS activities can
print the EXREP status report by using conversation
code N643.
If an RFI repairable component is received from
IMA, DCU screens this file for the oldest requisition
with the highest priority. The DCU removes the DD
Form 1348 from the file, sends it to SSU, and informs
P M U t o r e m o ve
the requisition
from
NMCS/PMCS/work stoppage listing.
NOTE: This should be the general guideline for
material issues; however, latitude exists to fill other
requirements when urgency of need does not tit within
the age/priority parameters of UMMIPS, such as filling
a younger requisition of a squadron with a more
immediate requirement.
If an item received is non-RFI (beyond capability
of maintenance), DCU removes the corresponding DD
Form 1348 (6 pt) and sends it to PMU for processing.
There will be situations when customers turn-in
defective components and do not require a replacement.
Upon receipt of the MAF copy from AMSU, DCU
prepares a DD Form 1348(6 pt). The DD Form 1348(6
pt) will contain the JCN, NSN, Purpose code, and
material control code. The DCU marks the DD Form
1348 (6 pt) with the words NO ISSUE and sends it to
SSU. The DCU files the MAF copy in the induction
return due file or VIDS board. When DCU receives the
component from AMSU, DCU processes the MAF copy
(from the induction return due tile) and component as a
normal return from IMA.
In NALCOMIS activities, DCU maintains the
induction log. The DCU posts the document date and
serial number (DDSN), MAF control number (MCN),
part number, item serial number, and date/time received
in the log. The DCU can discard the MAF facsimile after
verifying that the item has been inducted. Upon receipt
of non-RFI items, confirmed as BCM, SSU will
complete log entries in the BCM log. The information
in the log should include the status, date, and disposition
of the material.
If the item is RFI, DCU prints a copy of the display
screen from conversation code N668. The DCU uses
this copy to check the latest status of the requisition and
match the information with the MAF and RFI condition
tag. The DCU may also use conversation code N669 to
check for cross issues. Conversation code N669 will
display all of the outstanding requisitions for the same
item. The DCU will complete all of the log entries for
the RFI item. The DCU marks or stamps the MAF
CLEARED CCS and also stamps R/POOL on the
outside of the pool items. Items processed as EXREP
and returned in RFI condition will be returned to the
requisitioner. The DCU will generate an issue document
by using conversation code N621. The DCU will notify
MDU to pick up the material for delivery to the
requisitioner. Refer to the NALCOMIS User's Manual
for additional information.
LOCAL REPAIR CYCLE ASSET STORAGE
UNIT. The LRCA storage unit is responsible for the
receipt, storage, issue, and accountability of repairable
assets for ASD/SSC. This includes items in the rotatable
pool. The LRCA is part of an activitys repairable fixed
allowance. The LRCA assets are generally stored in a
location that hastens timely IMA repair and return to the
shelf in RFI condition.
The rotatable pool portion of the LRCA is located
in an area that promotes efficient supply support of
aircraft maintenance. The location should facilitate
rapid issue to an organizational maintenance
activity/intermediate maintenance activity
(OMA/IMA). Co-location of the rotatable pool with
