S1NET Message Summary - 18 Apr 23

1. IPPS-A UPDATE 17 APR 23: ASSIGNMENT HISTORY UPDATES, TEMP. ORDERS, MACP, PGA GUIDE, USER MANUAL, ACCESS REQUESTS "APPROVED," AND ABSENCES. From COL Rebecca Eggers, IPPS-A FMD:  Some key points from this update are provided below.  Visit the following link for the entire update with attachments. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1245480

     a. Assignment History Updates. We recently provided a demo on how to reconstruct a record for a Soldier. This training was not limited to Assignment History updates but should be used if you are attempting to update assignment history. A couple key items: Assignments pre-Go-Live can be updated via managed converted assignments. Any assignments after Go-Live have limited ability to be updated and are accessed via manage assignments. It is extremely important that new assignments are correct. Assignments after Go-Live, specifically adjusting dates, involve not just the Soldier you are attempting to update, but the dates associated with other Soldiers that held the position. As a final reminder – always use caution when updating anything in Job Data. We strongly discourage updates in Job unless you know what you are doing and how it will/could affect a Soldier’s pay and benefits.

     b. Executing Temporary Orders. It is very important that Temporary Orders are executed correctly for ARNG and USAR Soldiers. You must follow the acceptable approaches outlined in the MOBCOP Integration User Guide. Please reference the MOBCOP Integration User Guide and SFARS Integration User Guide when making edits. Soldier pay and benefits are tied to their position and if done incorrectly, can and has inadvertently stopped TRICARE for Soldiers. Manuals are available in IPPS-A under Help.

     c. Married Army Couples Program (MACP) Auto-Enrollment/Disenrollment. Some users have noted that they are not/have not been auto-enrolled in MACP even though their spouse is displaying as their dependent. We were able to determine that if the spouse’s military service in DEERS is blank, IPPS-A will not auto-enroll the members. We did a one-time data fix for those individuals that had IPPS-A Soldier records which resolved a majority of the cases, but did not correct the issue with new enrollments. We are considering options to remove the requirement for this field to be populated, and do not intend to have Soldiers go back to DEERS to update this information. We will attempt to ensure that we get word out through the DEERS offices to ensure this field is filled. HR Professionals who have the Restrictions Subcat can add/remove this restriction from Soldier’s records. Have the Soldier submit a CRM case indicating the auto-enrollment issue. Soldiers should request disenrollment from the MACP using an admin correction PAR. This action does not have to be done via DEERS. DEERS is simply the mechanism to auto-enroll Soldiers using available data.

     d. Updated User Manual V6.1. The latest version of the IPPS-A User Manual (Version 6.1) has been released. You may find it at https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1235870. One key item added to this update was clarification on PCS absence dates and report dates.

     e. Access Requests in “Approved” Status. We’ve noted an issue where access requests submitted by users were getting stuck in “Approved” status. This can be caused by missing or multiple primary email addresses in the User Profile (PSOPRDEFN / PSUSEREMAIL); the root cause of this has been resolved and should not occur anymore. However, there are instances where roles that are no longer active still exist on the submitted access requests. As the program continues to remove or update roles to bundle relationships while users are submitting access request at the same time, this issue will continue to occur. Our team is continuing to work on a resolution.

     f. Absences. We have received several RFIs and comments noting that users are unable to submit an absence request after having a previously cancelled request for the same dates. Rather than create a new absence, Soldiers should edit the cancelled request with the new information and submit for approval. As a reminder – cancellations of absence requests still need to route to an approver to be completed.

     g. Resources. We have a lot of great IPPS-A products created by units located on S1Net. On the left-hand side of the IPPS-A landing page, find the SUB-TOPICS column, and click “IPPS-A SOPs/Tools” underneath that. Please feel free to “donate” any IPPS-A SOPs and products that have worked for you team!

2. AG WEEK “OF THE YEAR” IN-PERSON COMPETITION 11 TO 15 JUNE 2023.  The Commandant of the Adjutant General School has announced the finalists for the 2023 Adjutant General’s Corps Officer, Warrant Officer, Non-Commissioned Officer, and Soldier of the Year. This year these selected finalists will compete in an in-person portion of the competition at Fort Jackson. The winners selected from the finalists will be announced at the end of AG Week during the AG National Ball. Below are the names of the Soldiers who have been selected as finalists. Additional information will be sent to these individuals and their units with specifics on the remaining portion of the competition. The Senior Civilian, Civilian, and Spouse of the year winner will be announced in a separate notice at a later date.  Finalists are listed at the following link. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1245513

3. NEW DD FORM 2760, QUALIFICATION TO POSSESS FIREARMS OR AMMUNITION, 21 MAR 2023. In case you missed it, there is a new DD Form 2760 for the Lautenberg Amendment self-certification that a Soldier does not have a qualifying conviction for domestic abuse which would prevent possession of a firearm. Big take away is due to a change in law last year, a misdemeanor assault conviction against someone the Soldier is or was dating after 25 June 2022 is now also a Lautenberg Amendment violation even if they were not living together. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1245157

     a. WORKFLOW & UDL MODIFICATIONS. “Has anyone found a way to modify a Workflow or UDL by a user that is not the creator? For example: I created three UDLs.

Essentially someone within the S-1 Pool with HR Professional Role that can take over.” https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1020717

     b. MISSING VACANCIES. “IPPS-A, through the HRAR, generates the Unfilled Positions/Vacancies. When we use Manage Assignments to slot Soldiers into positions, sometimes the Position search does not populate with all of the Unfilled Positions that are on the HRAR. Does anyone know why this is/how to get around it? We should have multiple openings in a UIC, but when we try to transfer Soldiers in, it will only show one open slot.”  https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1020661

     c. MANAGING SOLDIERS IN A DERIVATIVE UIC.  “I am trying to find out about all of the Soldiers that where sitting on our MOB TDA where all moved to a W0J3AA UIC along with other Soldiers that do not belong to us, and we can't manage actions in that UIC. Can I attach them to our RA UIC instead in order to manage them?

13. S1NET MEMBER/UNIT CONTRIBUTIONS. The following unit/individually developed products or information have been contributed to S1NET for the use and benefit of all members/units. These products have not been reviewed nor sanctioned by TRADOC or the AG School, and may be specific to the unit/component/location.

     a. PAI WORKSHOP FOR COMPO 3 (USAR). “It is understood that the PAI speaks to COMPO 1; however, Member Accountability within the system, Proper Slotting, and Unit Structure are still very critical pieces to the USAR IOT capture an accurate picture of Readiness / Deployability. The 316 ESC published an OPORD that directed a PAI Workshop for the Command (attached). The very simplistic 'Prep PAI Overview' slides (attached) were facilitated to drive the Workshop. Hopefully this can help other organizations enhance their readiness pictures.” Contributed by CW2 Samuel Orsini. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1242218
