Correcting supply discrepancies.

Dear Editor:

Since the implementation of Milestone-3 of the Single Stock Fund (SSF), DLA supply centers have been getting more and more Supply Discrepancy Reports (SDRs)--formerly called Reports of Discrepancy (RODS)--on non-Army managed parts released from SSF sites.

It appears the Army Master Data File (AMDF) is being used to identify the Source of Supply to address SDR. Consequently it goes to DLA, where it's marked N/R (no record) and rejected.

Before you submit an SDR, you must research the shipping status of your document. Checking document history files and/or web Visual Information Processing System (VLIPS) at:

https://www.daas.dla.mil/daashome/daasc_webvlips.htm

should help you determine who shipped your materiel. The important thing to remember--if the discrepancy involves shipment of non-Army managed part from a SSF site, submit your SDR to RIC AJZ.

You can submit your SDR online using the Army Electronic Product Support (AEDS) website. You can obtain a user ID/password by logging into:

If you already have a password, you can link to the information at:

You do not have to have an AEPS userid to submit an SDR but you do need the userid to check the status in AEPS. Also, submitting your SDR through AEPS is more efficient and provides quicker response for getting due credit.
