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.

  869F PID02 08 Product Use to indicate an extended part number Use with Requisition Exception Data Transaction (DLA DIC YRZ- Transaction Code PN) to indicate an extended part number. Only a single instance of the segment is used with this PID02 qualifier. A maximum of 60 positions of text (including spaces) may be sent. See introductory DLMS note 4f. 1/60
  869F PID02 GEN General Description Use in conjunction with nonstandard materiel descriptions to indicate technical/ descriptive exception information for procurement purposes 1. Use in conjunction with nonstandard materiel descriptions. 2. Use with Requisition Exception Data Transaction (DLA DIC YRZ-Line Counters 01-20) to indicate technical/ descriptive exception information for procurement purposes. Segment may be repeated up to 20 times with same PID02 qualifier. A maximum of 60 positions (including spaces) may be sent for each occurrence of the PID02. A maximum of 1200 positions of text (including spaces) may be sent. Pick, pack, and special delivery type instructions (DLA DIC YRZ-Line Counters 01-06) may also be entered as exception data to be forwarded to a DSS storage activity, as part of an exception MRO. This type of data is limited to 360 positions (including spaces) which would be the segment repeated up to 6 times with the same PID02 qualifier. See introductory DLMS note 4f. 1/80
