Is there a date set for the integration of ULLS-A(E) and GCSS-Army?

SSG (Join to see) - Congratulations on the promotion! Your PLL and Bench Stock will more than likely take a hit because units do not capture the demand and you will have to use Initial Issue as the source to supply it. I don't know your particular unit but some Aviation Units and some Warrants like to horde parts in their Golden Connex. GCSS ends all that. GCSS is a top down system where you basically must prove you need a part. That will be the issue when referring to TBO items. You have a great question- your units Maintainers will need to get intimately involved or you will see your units OR% hit 60 very rapidly. And then everyone in DoD wants to "assist" you. // as for the requisition process, I can tell you it is different from ULLS-A. Also, clerks must understand what they are requisitioning and follow the proper key inputs. I watched a unit at NTC for a week that followed a specific requisition, budget, distribution clock and they never received one part. The BN XO had a policy to have clerks order a part and then run a Follow Up. When you do that in GCSS-A it will cancel out the order.

I don't know how the supply chain works on active duty, but right now, as far as I can tell, the requisition starts with the clerk in ULLS, then it goes to the TASM-G, then to DLA or whoever the vendor is. The way that it has been explained to me is that GCSS adds a cog to that leaving even more room for orders to get overlooked or lost altogether.

SSG (Join to see) - It will add the COG called Budget. So here is a simple example: Unit X needs Y part and it is a valid request. The clerk will input the requisition. Now, this is where the Cloud come it. The part is held in a que for a time period set by the unit, it could be 24 hrs. If the part is not approved by 2 Budget Officers, the part will die in the system. There is a code on the 0-26 print as well for this. Or, the unit and parent Hq Budget ninjas will approve within a 4hr time frame and the part then will get referred to retail or wholesale systems. So, the issue is the budget guy. He or she will receive a pretty detailed e-mail on an Excel spreadsheet. They will mark which parts that approve and which parts they don't approve. But, tell me how many Budget Officers know what a Cold Secton is for a CH-47 engine or even an oven for your maintenance section. So, at first they will probably disapprove parts that you need. So, a TTP is to shoot an e-mail to the budget folks and let them know what you ordered and what tail number it is for. Hope that helps.

Hopefully I remember this when the transition happens here. Maybe we'll get things faster if the system works as advertised.

So far individual experiences have suggested otherwise on the non-Class 9 side lol
