attach a commercial invoice to copy 1) to the disbursing activity shown in the block titled “Agency Name and Billing Address.” l Copy 4 is sent to the appropriate fiscal office for recording of obligations.

REQUISITION STATUS The purpose of a requisition status is to inform the requisitioner of the action being taken on their requests. Keeping an up-to-date status on all requisitions is part of the monitoring functions of an AK. Requisition status gives you the information needed for making decisions in the applicable job. For example, if the requested item is not available for issue, a similar item may be cannibalized from other equipment to fill the requirement. On the other hand, if the item is available, other unnecessary effort can be prevented. The following text covers the procedures for maintaining the status on requisitions. TYPES OF STATUS Supply activities provide requisition status based on the Media and Status code of the request. The Media and Status code occupies record position 7 of the requisition. Appendix A6 of NAVSUP P-437 provides a list of Media and Status codes that you may use. Exception Status There are several situations that stock points use as a basis for providing an exception status. They are one, or any combination of, the following decisions made by a stock point. Material obligation Procurement for direct delivery Substitution Change to unit of issue, stock number, or cognizance symbol Requisition rejected for specific cause Referral order Cancellation acknowledgement l Any other circumstances that says the material will not be issued within the time frame established for the priority of the requisition. 100% Supply Status The 100% supply status provides information on every action taken by the supply system on the requisition. It includes release of material for shipment, but not the mode of shipment and bill of lading number. The stock point provides 100% supply status for requisitions, depending on the Media and Status code used. Shipment Status The shipment status consists of data on the actual shipment of material. It includes the date and mode of shipment, transportation control or bill of lading number, and date available for shipment. SUPPLY STATUS FORMATS There are two types of formats for furnishing supply status. The first type is a standard format used to provide most types of status information. The second is a specific format used when the material is being purchased for direct delivery to the requisitioner or supplementary address. Standard Format The requisition status provided in standard format will have document identifier (DI) AE followed by a number or letter. The following paragraphs describe the data elements of status in standard format. The record positions 1-3 contain the document identifier. Appendix A4 of NAVSUP P-437 provides a list of these document identifiers. The record positions 4-6 contain the routing identifier of the activity furnishing the status. See Appendix A10 of NAVSUP P-437 for a list of routing identifiers. The record position 7 contains the Media and Status code from the requisition. The record positions 8-22 contain the NSN NICN or part number of the item. This field will include the CAGE and first 10 characters of the part number (if the part number has more than 10 characters). The record positions 23-24 contain the current unit of issue. 4-12
