Process Changes

DLMS standards change is the approval/disapproval and prioritization of changes to the Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS), achieved through DoD Component coordination and consensus, thereby promoting an integrated approach to the standardization and modernization of the DoD logistics business process. Control of changes includes documentation, justification, systematic evaluation, coordination, release, implementation, and publication. Major functions of change control are change control configuration status accounting, reporting, functional change control reviews, and baseline reviews.

Implementation Metrics
Implementation Metrics are updated Monthly at the beginning of the month.

Templates - Instructions and format for change proposal submission

DLMS Changes
Proposed DLMS Changes (PDC)  (CAC Required)
A Proposed DLMS change is received from a Component, documentation is prepared, and then distributed for comment. These are posted to the Proposed change page.

Approved DLMS Changes (ADC)
Once inputs are received and changes are made to the proposed change documentation, changes are published and distributed to the Components. These are posted to the Approved change page.

Withdrawn Changes
Withdrawn PDC/ADC includes PDCs that were staffed, but either withdrawn by the submitter or not approved to become an ADC. It also includes any ADCs that were withdrawn prior to implementation.

Other PDC/ADC (Deferred/On-Hold/Disapproved/Requests for Implementation Date)
This page includes various changes that do not fall into the above categories. Changes may be placed on hold pending resolution of a key issue, for a later review, or for re-write. PDCs/ADCs which fall into these scenarios are posted to the "Other" page where their applicable status is identified.

DLMS Version Control
The official American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 version of a standard transaction set is a key ingredient in the successful application of DLMS Implementation Conventions (ICs) to Federal implementation conventions (ICs). Version control is implemented by assigning specific numbers/letters (code) to a multi-position file name for each transaction set. The files associated with the change control/management process and implementing DSs and changes thereto are available on the approved changes and the ICs page, respectively.
