6. IPPS-A QUESTIONS. (Please assist if you can.)

     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. I cannot find a way for someone else to add/remove User IDs in the UDLs after I PCS. 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? I am asking to make sure by doing this it does not mess up anyone's TOD/MOBCOP assignment.” https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1020568
