DLMS Data Resources

DEDSO hosts a digital library that brings together all the key publications, documents, and processes it oversees. Resources are provided below to facilitate alignment with DLMS data standards. These are described below:

Pipeline/LMARS

DEDSO no longer chairs the Pipeline Measurement Committee but the Pipeline and LMARS data is available for reference below.
 

Applications, Tools and Reference

  • DLMS Authorized Transaction Repository
    This is the central repository for all Defense Logistics transactional exchanges including DLMS Implementation Convention, segments, reference tables, data elements, and data domains (data codes).

  • Cross Reference Tables and Conversion Guides
    These consist of a suite of dictionaries and directories intended to be the central repository for all DLMS related transactional information, and three sets of tables identifying DoD Logistics data domains (data codes) that require conversion to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 data domains (data codes) to prevent rejection by ANSI ASC X12 oriented value added networks.

Project Codes

To get Project Code Information, please visit the Logistics Data Gateway (LDG).

DoD/ASC X12 Conversion Guides

Three sets of conversion guides contain cross references between DoD domain codes (data item codes) and Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 domain code values. DoD systems that store internal data in DoD format and exchange data via X12 EDI/XML based transactions must implement the conversion guides for Transportation Method/Type Codes and Unit of Materiel Measure (Unit of Issue/Purchase Unit) to convert outbound DoD data values to the corresponding ASC X12 code values and vice versa for inbound data values.

Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS) Cross-Reference Table

A cross-reference of each DLSS Document Identifier Code (DIC) (e.g., A01) to DLMS Implementation Convention (IC) number (e.g. 511R) for all DLSS legacy processes:

Logistics Metrics Analysis Reporting System (LMARS)

LMARS uses information from DLMS and DTEB transactions processed by DAAS to measure the logistic response time (LRT) of the logistics pipeline for wholesale-managed items. The data recorded in the Logistics On-line Tracking System (LOTS) repository regarding wholesale-managed items is used to produce transaction counts and average pipeline processing times, in days, for the 12-segment life cycle of a logistics transaction. The measurement begins with the serial (birth) date of the requisition and ends with receipt by DAAS of the materiel receipt acknowledgement (MRA) transaction. Reports are produced monthly and are available on the LMARS system web site managed by DAAS. 

Information about the logistics pipeline can be found in DLM 4000.25, Volume 6, Chapter 4.
