MM4618, Lesson 3
Forecasted Expenditures File. This file contains forecasted expenditures by DODIC, storage point, and
account for training ammunition. Expenditures may be projected for up to 18 months.
Lot Visibility File. This file contains serviceability data to include lot number, component lot number, year of
manufacture, condition code, and defect information. Data on this file are reported to the NICP by the
serviceability portion of the WARS report, or to level 1, and are also used in support of surveillance operations at
level 4.
Updating System Structure Support Files
Data in the SSSF can be automatically updated interactively by terminal input. Access to the SSSFs is
achieved through a series of terminal displays that allow the user to select the desired cycle. This menu
procedure is hierarchically designed so that the user can step in or out of a function from one level of the
hierarchy to another. For every screen there are one or more help screens that provide detailed explanations
concerning that screen. The help screens are accessible at any time by pressing the F1 key. Upon entry into the
system, the first set of screens that will appear on the terminal lists all of the various functions (main menu)
performed by the system listed by cycle ID. A brief explanation of the cycles pertaining to WARS was given
earlier in this lesson.
Each SSSF and the procedures for accessing the file are discussed in detail below. To ensure that this
lesson is easily understood, we will track one NSN with its DODIC. The NSN that we will use in this lesson is
1315-00-028-4830-C445. Figures are provided for all entries that are mandatory for WARS reporting. Other
entries are used to make input complete. The first file that you must build into your data base is the NSN/DODIC
cross-reference file.
NSN/DODIC Cross-Reference File. The NSN to DODIC and DODIC to NSN cross-reference file must be
the first file that you build into your data base. This file does not contain any codes that are required by the
WARS.
SAAS-3 run cycle AJCR16 allows the user to interactively add, delete, change, or display a record on the
NSN/DODIC cross-reference file.
The first input screen that you will see is screen AJCR1600. You must input the following information:
