Alternative item receipt

  • Following weeks of work, the E-GOAT team are delighted to present to you a new look to the forums with plenty of new features. Take a look around and see what you think!
Question: Does anyone know where and if the detail of how you transact an alternative item from an aircraft is in the JSP886? i.e Engineer demands 'A' with one NSN and then gives you a broken 'B' an authorised alternative with a different NSN?

I thought you (old school) RIE/GSA/RIS???? but someone else thinks you RIE/DNN/GUA/RIU/RIN!!! so I would like to check who is correct or are both correct?????

The help of the stacker nation is appreciated.

Is the item in the "chain" as an alternative? If it is then there is no need, I believe, to do anything.

If I am wrong then the correct way to transact it would be your second choice above.:PDT_Xtremez_30: If I am wrong I will stfu.

I think you would struggle to find the correct procedure in the JSP these days it would possibly be more likely to be in the Inventory Managers Toolkit though I'm sure someone who knows far more than me will be along with the correct information soon.

However if you were issuing an alternative asset then you would definately RIU/RIN/DNN/GUA (probably with a DNR/RIE in there too). RIS/GSA are TXN codes to bring assets not accounted for on stock charge RIU/GUA is for embodying and disembodying the fact that it is alt NSN issue makes no difference to that. You could not RIS something onto INV so how could you clear the U/S dues with that unless you would RIS/DNN/RIE/GSA but that would just be wrong.

Surprise, surprise

I've looked through both versions of the gucci new JSP 886 and can find no 'official' way to process thsi. I've looked in an old copy of the JSP 386 and its not that clear either

"a. Issue of an UA. Acceptance of an UA proposal will result in the advice output containing the statement 'FURTHER ACCOUNTING ACTION REQUIRED'. Additionally, an internal dues-in will be created for the return of an equal repairable quantity of the UA item. The user is to return a repairable item having the same stock number as the item originally demanded. When this receipt is reported using (TC RIE), computer processing will adjust the dues record and take the appropriate further accounting action.

b. Issue of CA. The UA issue procedures detailed above, apply equally to issues of CA items, except an internal dues-in will not be created. Management progression will be necessary, and the receipt of the item originally demanded is to be reported using TC 'RIN'. When the receipt is reported, further accounting action and documentation will be done automatically by the computer."

I am not that sure aboutteh further accounting action and documentation being done automatically- in particular with regard to MJDI R1! I would go with the DNN/GUA (certified embodied etc etc)/RIU cert disembodied Alternative item Auth CT ....../RIN, but I would be concerned that they are not linked and would want an engineers signature on the paperwork.

I hope this is of some help
