    Study Notes

    Materiel Requests (PRs)

    • PRs are material requests from shops to Materiel Control (MC) for items used in work tasks (WTs).
    • PRs can request direct materials (used in WTs) or indirect materials (tools, PPE, consumables for personnel).
    • Items usually kept in bench or store stock are issued over the counter; PRs are needed when these items aren't available.
    • MC adds new inventory items to NexGen, often for WT/WG requirements. These items aren't usually stocked due to infrequent use.
    • PRs are used for ordering items to restock the main store when bench/store stock is low.
    • PRs are crucial for procuring items supporting WTs or Work Groups (WGs) and for stocking the GOCESS store.
    • Non-materiel items like services, equipment rentals, also require PRs.

    Types of PRs

    • Inventory PRs: Used for ordering inventory items (consumables or goods).
    • Non-Inventory PRs: Requests for services (e.g., labor, equipment rental). Do not involve consumable materials or equipment purchases.

    PRs for Operating Stock

    • MC creates PRs for stocked items when current stock is insufficient for expected work.
    • Shops create PRs for items with quantities exceeding available bench/store stock.
    • Regularly used inventory items should be stocked to reduce PR submissions.
    • MC can add an item to the store without prior repetitive use if there is a strong need and sufficient storage.

    PRs to Support a Work Task

    • PRs are commonly needed for non-stocked items due to infrequent use or one-time requirements (e.g., first repair of a specific equipment).
    • The shop foreman or lead technician creates PRs for non-stocked items.
    • MC can also create PRs for non-stocked items.

    PRs for Indirect Materiel

    • Indirect materiel PRs cover items where costs aren't solely attributed to a single WT (e.g. tools, equipment, PPE).
    • The PR process is similar to WT PRs but a WT is not needed.
    • Approvals differ from WT PRs; the PR routes directly to the shop foreman of the requestor.

    Non-Inventory PRs

    • Used for contracted services or equipment rentals.
    • Detailed PRs are necessary for non-familiar personnel to understand the requirement and communicate with vendors.
    • Correct information is vital for procuring the right equipment and service at the right time.
    • MC pays for these services/rentals using the GPC (Government Purchase Card).
    • No PR needed if payment is handled outside of MC.
