ITEM IS PART OF A MATCHED SET.- If components are matched sets, the following procedures apply: l l l l l l

If the requisitioned item is not matched, update the material requirement by using conversation code N604. Update the local status code by using conversation code N610.

If EXREP is selected in conversation code N610 processing, it will increase the ERIOU counter.

The system prints the EXREP turn-in notice.

Conversation code N668 status inquiry should read EXREP.

The item is inducted to IMA as EXREP,

If ISSUE is selected in conversation code N610 processing, the RFI counter will decrease and the DIFM counter will increase.

. Enter the quantity for proof of delivery by using conversation code N615. (Note: Conversation code N668 status inquiry should read COMPL.)

MATCHED SET REQUISITION PROCESS-ING.- Requisitions will be submitted by the customer through conversation code N601 (O-level) or N249 (I-level). A separate DDSN and JCN will be submitted for each required NIIN.

l Conversation code N668 status inquiry will have LSC of OFFMP.

l The system will print the DD Form 1348-1 issue document at the designated printer.

l The system prints a critical item notice when RFl quantity reaches critical level.

l The DDSN listed in conversation code N686 inquiry have an LSC of OFFMP. Clear the OFFMP status by using the procedures described in previous paragraphs.

l Clear the matched set requisitions by using conversation code N639.

MATCHED SET ESTABLISHMENT.- Some repairable items in stock are issued as matched sets. The requisitions submitted by customers are processed as a set and must not be separated. Properly identify the NIIN of the items that need to be matched. The following procedures apply

l Enter the number of FIHNs that make up a set on the indicator column in conversation code N667,

Note: The Matched Set Indicator block in conversation code N667 display screen identifies the items considered part of the matched set, Each member of the matched set should have the same number assigned. The value of the Matched Set Indicator must be 2 through 5 or a blank space.

. The system updates the repairable NIIN data of the item.

Local Repair Cycle Asset (LRCA) Storage Unit

The items included in the LRCA (formerly known as rotatable pool) is part of the activity's fixed allowance assets. They are generally stored in a location that provides fast processing between maintenance and supply. The LRCA concept allows intensive management of selected repairable. The major criteria for managing a repairable in the LRCA are supply support improvement, local demand, and space availability. However, inclusion of an item in the LRCA storage unit should not be constrained by a specific usage rate.

The LRCA storage unit is responsible for the receipt, storage, issue, and accountability of repairable assets under the control of ASD/SSC. The supply department is responsible for providing a list of items in the LRCA storage unit to the supported units. The listing's format include the NSN, CAGE code, work unit code (WUC), type equipment code (TEC), family group code (FGC), nomenclature, and LRCA item number. The information in the list is arranged according to the activity's needs.

The activity's fixed allowances for repairable items are determined by turn-around time (TAT) and monthly usage. The average TAT of an item usually stabilizes over a long period of time. During this time, demands for the item are filled as they occur. If the TAT becomes longer because of some unusual reason, the availability of RFI assets are affected.

The TAT for repairable items are monitored by the ^{item managers.} When used in the fixed allowance computation the TAT should be constrained as follows:

Note: The total average TAT is limited to a maximum of 20 days for each NIIN in each case. Constraints are applied to each element before totaling.

The fixed allowance for aviation items of an activity is developed after negotiations between the operating sites and the Naval Inventory Control Point-Philadelphia (NAVICP-Philadelphia). After the establishment of the activity's fixed allowance, only

redistribution orders from NAVICP-Philadelphia may be processed to fill high priority requisitions from other activities. When needed an activity can request a change to the authorized allowance quantity. The allowance change request (NAVSUP Form 1375) is prepared and submittd to the NAVICP-Philadelphia. A copy of the allowance change quest(s) is forwarded to the applicable aircraft controlling custodian (ACC)/type commander (TYCOM). Refer to FASOINST 4441.15,

FASOINST 4441.16, or FASOINST 4441.20 for the specific allowance process applicable to the activity.

The following NALCOMIS procedures are used to establish selected repairable items in the LRCA storage unit (formerly known as rotatable pool):

^l As a first step, the CCS identifies the selected repairable items that are established in the LRCA storage unit.

^l Conversation code N667 is used to update the data of the repairable NIIN. This conversation code allows the user to update the pool type of a particular NIIN.

Note: Activities assign the pool type code to particular NIINs to enhance management of repairable items. The recommended pool type code is used to identify selected LRCA items composed of alphabetic characters. The numeric characters are used to identify the LRCA items in deep stock (for example, A-purpose stock).

l After processing the conversation code N667, the system updates the FGC data of the item.

l Conversation code N645 is used to submit a request to print the freed allowance analysis report.

l The stock status of RFI repairable items can be verified through conversation code N670.

l As the last, check the status and summary of all stock records designated as LRCA (pool) items through conversation code N627.

Refer to the NALCOMIS user's manual for the list of conversation codes used by the LRCA.

Document Control Unit (DCU)

The DCU is responsible for maintaining control of repairable items and associated documents received from OMAs or IMAs. The DCU performs the following functions:

l Reviews and monitors the IOU, EXREP, and DIFM reports

l Reviews NALCOMIS mailboxes of completed repair actions

l Receives repairable items from maintenance

l ^Processes DIFM return transactions

l Recesses items for inter-IMA repair (repair and return program)

The conversation males used by DCU as primary conversations are N620, N621, N641, N643, N668, N669, N675, N676, N684, N691, N812, and N813,

The conversation codes used by DCU as supporting conversations are N601, N614, N667, N677, N678, N679, and N698.
