Appendix A - Supporting Information
- Table 3 - Data Change Flags: Describes flags signifying changes to activity, billet, or sailor data. Flags include changes to deployment dates, ARC, OPC, TGC, funding, NEC status, ratings, pay bands, position type, and service components for billets and sailors. Unexpected gains/losses of sailors are also flagged.
Terms and Definitions
- Activity: A group of billets with the same Unit Identification Code (UIC).

- Equitable Allocation Billet/Position Projection Point: Time to calculate billets/positions for equitable allocation.
- Equitable Allocation Personnel Projection Point: Time to calculate personnel for equitable allocation.
- Excess Position: Position for personnel exceeding activity manpower requirements.
- Floating NEC: NEC requirement listed on a billet/position but representing activity skill need, not billet need.
- Full Strength: Navy Enlisted System (NES) data field indicating full strength.
- Functional Area Code (FAC): Billet indicator for special consideration in manpower programs.
- Funded Billet: Manpower requirement funded by a resource sponsor.
- Gapped NEC Requirement: NEC requirement on a billet/position not filled due to vacancy or aligned member lacking required NEC.
- Host Activity: Activity capable of accommodating an embarked or tenant activity.

- Orders Information Details (OID): Visual display of PCS orders info (detaching, intermediate, and destination activities).
- Orders Negotiation Window: Time period an Enlisted Member can negotiate PCS orders.
- OPC (Operational Component): Grouping of activities for a mission, often the hull number of the lead activity.

Alignment Quality
- QoA 1: Perfect alignment; Sailor meets rating, pay grade, and all NEC requirements.
- QoA 2 & 3: Good alignments; meet rating, perhaps other requirements.
- QoA 4 & 5: Fair alignments; outside pay band or meet rating but not NEC requirements. These are usually realigned monthly, unless locked by an authorized user.
- QoA 6: Alignment outside business rules; hard-locked and managed manually (e.g., DRATE assignments, pay grade changes).
- QoA 7: System-generated alignment invalidated by data change. Requires immediate evaluation and realignment recommendations to a QoA 1-5, locking to QoA 6, or an excess position.
- Excess Alignments: Alignments to excess positions when no other QoA 1-5 alignment is available; includes non-refillable (position exists only while Sailor's aligned) and refillable (position persists vacant).
- Unaligned Sailors: Alignment eligible members not aligned to a billet/excess position. Requires immediate attention.
- Alignment Exempt: Sailors not aligning to billets/excess positions; typically temporary or transient assignments. Manual realignments cannot be made.
- Unfunded Alignments: Potential alignment to unfunded billets. Can be necessary for activity readiness profile, instead of excess position alignment, given Sailor meets rating, pay grade, and NEC requirements.
- Held Billets: Billets unavailable for alignment actions due to factors such as compensation issues, invalid requirements, or restructuring. May leave aligned Sailors in this status.
