DLMS Data Dictionary

The Authoritative Resource for DLMS X12 Data Elements and Codes

This Data Dictionary is the authoritative reference for all data elements used across Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) Implementation Conventions (ICs). It provides standardized definitions and technical specifications for DLMS and its underlying ANSI ASC X12 data structures.

What This Dictionary Provides:

  • Clear Definitions: Find the official business definition and purpose for every data element used in DLMS transactions.
  • Technical Specifications: Get the exact technical format, length, and structure for each element as it appears in an X12 transaction.
  • DLMS to X12 Mapping: Understand exactly how a DLMS business term maps to a specific X12 segment and element (e.g., "Ship-To Address" maps to N1*ST in the 511R transaction).

Who Should Use This Resource:

  • System Developers & Integrators: To correctly build, map, and test DLMS-compliant applications.
  • Logistics & Supply SMEs: To understand the precise meaning and proper use of data in our business processes.
  • Data Analysts & Managers: To ensure data quality, standardization, and interoperability across systems.

Key Implementation Notes:

  • Relationship to Implementation Conventions (ICs): This Data Dictionary is a reference tool that enhances and supports the DLMS Implementation Conventions (ICs); it does not replace them. For proper implementation, users must consult the detailed guidance and business rules contained within the applicable IC.
  • Governing Standards: All data elements are governed by the Accredited Standards Committee X12 (ASC X12) and the policies within DLM 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS). The ASC X12 is the governing source for X12, which is an electronic data interchange (EDI) standard.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
MATCHED CODE VALUES A [SERVICEABLE (ISSUABLE WITHOUT QUALIFICATION) - New, used, repaired, or reconditioned materiel which is serviceable and issuable to all customers without limitation or restriction. Includes materiel with more than 6 months shelf-life remaining.] B [SERVICEABLE (ISSUABLE WITH QUALIFICATION) - New, used, repaired, or reconditioned materiel which is serviceable and issuable for its intended purpose but which is restricted from issue to specific units, activities, or geographical areas by reason of its limited usefulness or short service life expectancy. Includes materiel with 3 through 6 months shelf-life remaining.] C [SERVICEABLE (PRIORITY ISSUE) - Items which are serviceable and issuable to selected customers, but which must be issued before SCCs A and B materiel to avoid loss as a usable asset. Includes materiel with less than 3 months shelf-life remaining.] D [SERVICEABLE (TEST/ MODIFICATION) - Serviceable materiel which requires test, alteration, modification, technical data marking, conversion, or disassembly. This does not include items which must be inspected or tested immediately prior to issue.] E [UNSERVICEABLE (LIMITED RESTORATION) - Materiel which involves only limited expense or effort to restore to serviceable condition and which is accomplished in the storage activity where the stock is located. May be issued to support ammunition requisitions coded to indicate acceptability of usable SCC E stock.] F [UNSERVICEABLE (REPARABLE) - Economically reparable materiel which requires repair, overhaul, or reconditioning; includes reparable items which are radioactively contaminated.] G [UNSERVICEABLE (INCOMPLETE) - Materiel requiring additional parts or components to complete the end time prior to issue.] H [UNSERVICEABLE (CONDEMNED) - Materiel which has been determined to be unserviceable and does not meet repair criteria; includes condemned items which are radioactively contaminated; Type I shelf-life materiel that has passed the expiration date; and Type II shelf-life materiel that has passed expiration date and cannot be extended. (NOTE: Classify obsolete and excess materiel to its proper condition before consigning to the DRMO. Do not classify materiel in Supply Condition H unless it is truly unserviceable and does not meet repair criteria.)] I [NOT ASSIGNED - Reserved for future DoD assignment.] J [SUSPENDED (IN STOCK) - Materiel in stock which has been suspended from issue pending condition classification or analysis, where the true condition is not known. Includes shelf-life Type II materiel that has reached the expiration date pending inspection, test, or restoration.] K [SUSPENDED (RETURNS) - Materiel returned from customers or users and awaiting condition classification.] L [SUSPENDED (LITIGATION) - Materiel held pending litigation or negotiation with contractors or common carriers.] M [SUSPENDED (IN WORK) - Materiel undergoing maintenance at an organic or contractor maintenance facility.] N [SUSPENDED (AMMUNITION SUITABLE FOR EMERGENCY COMBAT USE ONLY) - Ammunition stocks suspended from issue except for emergency combat use.] O [NOT ASSIGNED - Reserved for future DoD assignment.] P [UNSERVICEABLE (RECLAMATION) - Materiel determined to be unserviceable, uneconomically reparable as a result of physical inspection, teardown, or engineering decision. Item contains serviceable components or assemblies to be reclaimed.] Q [SUSPENDED (PRODUCT QUALITY DEFICIENCY) - Potential and confirmed product quality deficiency related materiel which is prohibited for use within DoD and prohibited for reutilization screening. Includes product quality deficiency exhibits returned by customers/users as directed by the intetgrated materiel manager (IMM) due to technical deficiencies reported by Product Quality Deficiency Reports. Exhibits require technical or engineering analysis to determine cause of failure to perform in accordance with specifications. Includes product quality deficient materiel identified by SF 368 Product Quality Deficiency Report; DD Form 1225, Storage Quality Control Report; SF 364, Supply Discrepancy Report (Security Assistance only); or authorized electronic equivalent.] R [SUSPENDED (RECLAIMED ITEMS, AWAITING CONDITION DETERMINATION) - Assets turned in by reclamation activities which do not have the capability (e.g., skills, manpower, or test equipment) to determine the materiel condition. Actual condition will be determined prior to induction into maintenance activities for repair/modification.] S [UNSERVICEABLE (SCRAP) - Materiel that has no value except for its basic materiel content. No stock will be recorded as on hand in SCC S. This code is used only on transactions involving shipments to DLA Disposition Services Field Offices. Materiel will not be transferred to SCC S prior to turn-in to DLA Disposition Services Field Offices if materiel is recorded in SCCs A through H at the time materiel is determined excess. Materiel identified by NSN will not be identified by this SCC.] T [SERVICEABLE (AMMUNITION SUITABLE FOR TRAINING USE ONLY) - New, used, repaired, or reconditioned ammunition stock originally intended for combat use but due to condition, function, or performance characteristics is serviceable and issuable for training use only. Authorized for intra-Service use and authorized for staggered implementation for inter-Service use by agreement of impacted trading partners.] U [SERVICEABLE (LIMITED REMAINING LIFE BEFORE FAILURE) - Components determined by predictive maintenance alerts or other component health monitoring capabilities to have a limited remaining life span before failure that may appear or test as serviceable.
