S1NET Message Summary - 22 Mar 23
1. IPPS-A UPDATE, 21 MAR
23. From COL Rebecca Eggers, IPPS-A FMD: Some key points from this
update follow. View the entire update at the following link. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1238826
a. Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI). The IPPS-A Go-Live Validation
PAI began 15 March and runs until 30 April 2023. Check out the IPPS-A
Replays, a bite-sized demo video, on how to Validate Unit Level
Accountability (Using the Readiness Roster). This action ensures all
Soldiers are reflected on the Readiness Roster in their current duty
status.
b. Virtual Over the Shoulder Support (OTSS). While we will begin to
stand down our In-Person OTSS, the Virtual OTSS being conducted by Team
IPPS-A will extend beyond 31 March 2023 in order to continue transition
support. If you have any questions or want to participate, please reach
out on the MS Teams Channel in whichever group is applicable to you.
c. PCA versus PCS Assignments. I would like to clear up some
confusion related to orders for PCS assignments. Soldiers who came down
on CAP Cycle or officers who received RFOs prior to/during brownout
require legacy orders published by the MPDs. HRC is loading a PCA
assignment for these Soldiers. This PCA assignment routes to the losing
S1 Pool. There has been concern that S1s are approving PCS orders. If
the assignment is loaded as a PCA, it is a non-funded order and the
legacy paper order is the source document. The order published by IPPS-A
should be ignored. HRC continues to publish guidance regarding
frustrated assignments. Please see the latest guidance attached at the
above link.
d. IPPS-A Mobile App Status. The next mobile app update was
submitted to TRADOC on 10 March 2023. The new update should be available
in stores this month.
e. We’ve noted that the Talent Management (TAM) Workcenter is not
displaying properly on the IPPS-A app on phones; tablets, desktops, and
laptops have no issues. This is not necessarily a defect, but the
testing team is looking into a possible sizing issue for small screens
and will correct this issue as soon as possible. Please pass this
information to your Soldiers, as they are the ones who regularly access
TAM on their smartphones.
f. Army Reserve Annual Training Assignments. Pending Regional Level
Application Software (RLAS) Group two-week Annual Training (AT)
assignments starting after 1 April 2023 have been removed in IPPS-A from
the accounts of USAR Soldiers. This is to minimize future assignments
blocking accessions and reassignments as personnel are moved between
annexes.
g. Known Issues. For updates on IPPS-A issues pertaining to
promotions, benefits, assignments, onboarding, and more, please
reference https://ipps-a.army.mil/ipps-a-known-issues.
2. iPERMS NEW OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR) FUNCTIONALITY. From
HRC Army Soldier Records Branch: iPERMS is deploying a new capability
this Spring that will automatically recognize and file documents
processed by Scan Operators that are filed in the Soldier's AMHRR
file/folder. The attached "User" guide (at following link) provides Scan
Operators the new format for organizing and processing batches. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1017899
3. USAR TPU CAREER MANAGEMENT OFFICE (CMO) BOARD TIMELINE CHEAT SHEET.
Contributed by CPT Jedidiah Flynt, CMO: This is a quick reference
(cheat sheet) I created and distributed around the CMO to help as a
quick guide of important dates in ongoing TPU officer promotion/command
boards. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1017879
4. IPPS-A QUESTIONS. (Please assist if you can.)
a. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE ISSUE. While attempting to arrive SM for a
inter BN transfer Compo 1, IPPS-A action shows as arrived, but SM's
organization still reflects previous assignment. Can anyone assist me
with these types of action? https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1018014
