REPORTING OF SUPPLY DISCREPANCIES Headquarters Departments of the Army, The Defense Logistics Agency, The Navy, and The Air Force Washington, DC 6 August 2001 UNCLASSIFIED

SUMMARY of CHANGE AR 735-11-2/DLAI 4140.55/SECNAVIST 4355.18A/AFJMAN 23-215 REPORTING OF SUPPLY DISCREPANCIES This publication of 6 August 2001 modifies multiple areas of SDR guidance as follows-- o Management Evaluation. The management evaluation responsibilities are strengthened to include a semi-annual reporting requirement and specific report content and measurements. o Credit Adjustments on SDRs. Additional instruction is provided for SA follow- up on credit adjustments. o Requests for Reconsideration. The "SDR reply date" which is used as a basis for the submission timeframe for SA customer requests for reconsideration is clarified as the date of the ILCO reply to the customer following receipt of disposition from the inventory control point/distribution depot. A timeframe is established for the ILCO to forward the customer's request for reconsideration to the responsible action activity. In addition, a timeframe is established for the ILCO to notify the action activity that extenuating circumstances will necessitate additional time for the customer or ILCO to complete/process the request. This will allow the action activity to retain applicable records that might otherwise have been purged during an extensive delay. o Contested Reconsideration Decisions. A timeframe is specified for ILCO to forward customer's contested reconsideration decision to their Service focal point. o SA Time Standards. Timeframes for actions associated with requests for reconsideration and contested reconsideration as reflected in this change are summarized in table 1, in paragraph 1d(5). This regulation has been revised to-- o Establish a standard 75-day timeframe for action activities to respond to all RODs; o Require submission of an ROD for all discrepancies which involve a sealed vendor pack; o Revise procedures for unresolved or contested reports.
