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 Standard Systems (DLSS)/
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:

  • Logistic response time (LRT) measures the logistics pipeline for wholesale-managed items.
  • The Logistics Metrics Analysis Reporting System (LMARS) uses data from DLMS and DTEB transactions to measure the pipeline.
  • Data is used to produce transaction counts and average processing times, in days, for the 12-segment life cycle of a requisition.
  • The measurement begins with the serial (birth) date of the requisition and ends with a materiel receipt acknowledgement (MRA).
  • Reports are produced monthly and are available on the LMARS website managed by DAAS.

Access LMARS.

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