IPPS-A UPDATE: LATENCY, CANCELED ABSENCE JOB AID, MILPER 23-164, ASSIGNMENT HISTORY AND BASE NAME CHANGES, EMAIL ADDRESSES, DUTY STATUS UPDATES, AUTO-DEPROVISIONING, KNOWN ISSUES, AND MPD SMARTBOOK. From COL Rebecca Eggers, IPPS-A FMD: “Teammates, as we hit the 5-month mark post Go-Live, I can sense that units are beginning to settle into some routines using IPPS-A. While there is still more work to do, the focused efforts on completing the separations backlogs, resolving the frustrated assignments, and working through CRM tickets are all helping to stabilize the system from a functional standpoint.” Some key points in this update below. See the entire update at the following link. milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1253972 a. IPPS-A integrates many of our business processes. And connects the three components in a way that makes us dependent on each other to understand the implications of our actions. Please use care when working through actions that have direct ties to pay and benefits — notably temporary assignments coming from the various orders writing systems. As we continue to adopt IPPS-A as the system of record, we need to continue to move forward. We need to move away from comparing what we could do in our legacy systems to how we must do them in IPPS-A. Our legacy systems were not integrated. An action on a Soldier often had little to no impact on any other Soldier or any other action for that Soldier. This is simply not the case with IPPS-A. Actions have pay and benefits impacts and even the act of simply changing an arrival or departure date has impacts on those Soldiers filling that same position before or after. As you become more familiar with simply completing actions within the system, I challenge you to then understand how the pieces all fit together. Until we work through all the remaining assignments and get to the point where we aren’t working actions that previously happened, we will not truly reap the benefits of what IPPS-A has to offer. We will get there together. I appreciate all you are doing to learn, support our Soldiers and provide feedback to make the system even better. b. System Latency. The latency seen over the past weeks has largely been resolved. Oracle and the IPPS-A infrastructure team continue to make refinements to the system. c. Canceled Absences. This job aid assists in updating a canceled absence request for resubmission. In IPPS-A, Members cannot cancel an absence request and submit a new request for the same or overlapping ‘To’ and ‘From’ dates. d. MILPER 23-164: Soldier Actions Initiated Outside of IPPS-A. HRC recently published MILPER 23-164 hrc.army.mil/Milper/23-164. This MILPER provides a list of Soldier actions initiated outside of IPPS-A and their submission procedures, as well as a list of actions to submit via Personnel Action Request (PAR) in IPPS-A and their corresponding Unit Distribution List (UDL). e. Assignment History and Base Name Changes. The new base names are populating the location tables in IPPS-A. Forts Barfoot, Novosel, Liberty and Gregg-Adams have all been added as locations and Soldiers’ current assignments are populating with the new names. f. Email Addresses. IPPS-A receives email addresses from DMDC. Users also have the option to add personal email addresses to IPPS-A. IPPS-A requires a business email. If you are a user that uses something other than your army.mil email address, you must ensure that you have set that email to your business email. g. Duty Status Updates. We are aware of an issue where Soldiers’ duty statuses do not revert to PDY after events such as absence, TDY, hospitalization, etc. On 11 May, we did a fix to resolve some of the duty status issues, some issues were not resolved. The IPPS-A team is doing further analysis to resolve the issue completely. h. Access De-Provisioning Linked to Job Data Updates. Last week, we enabled functionality to remove elevated access if a member executed a PCS or PCA. When users make changes to a Soldier’s job data in “correct history” mode, PeopleSoft adjusts all history after the correction is made. This can trigger the system to record the change as a PCS/PCA which terminates the user’s elevated access. A change request is currently working to adjust this logic to keep elevated users from reverting to self-service when job data is changed. The current release date is 25 May 23. i. Auto De-Provisioning of POIs. As a reminder, elevated users must access IPPS-A at least every 60 days or their access will be reverted to self-service. j. Known Issues & Release Updates. For updates on IPPS-A issues pertaining to promotions, benefits, assignments, onboarding, and more, please reference ipps-a.army.mil/ipps-a-known-issues. k. Military Personnel Division (MPD) SmartBook. Attached at the link above is a starter template for an MPD SmartBook. We encourage MPDs to utilize the Word document version to continue to add to the SmartBook as they see opportunities to do so and share with their teammates. l. 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. BASIC NEEDS ALLOWANCE (BNA) TRAINING, FY23. From the Army G-9: Beginning on 7 June 2023, HQDA, DCS, G-9 will conduct BNA training via MS Teams.

This Job Aid assists in updating a canceled absence request for resubmission. In IPPS-A, Members cannot cancel an absence request and submit a new request for the same or overlapping ‘To’ and ‘From’ dates. milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1253071 5. IPPS-A QUESTIONS. (Please assist if you can.) a. DEPARTING ERROR. When departing a Soldier in IPPS-A, has anyone encountered the message "military comp category mapping validation failed"? If so, how did you go about fixing it so you can depart the member? milsuite.mil/book/message/1024761#1024761 b. HOW TO REMOVE HISTORICAL AIM KSBS FROM STP? Does anyone know how to remove historical AIM self-professed KSBs from my IPPSA STP? My STP shows several outdated KSBs from a previous AIM resume in both Cultural Experiences and Study Knowledge. When I edit my AIM resume, I can see the old entries under "view Historical entries", but they are NOT on my current AIM resume, and have not been for years. milsuite.mil/book/message/1024772 c. UPDATING THE TN STATUS IN IPPS-A. I have been trying to go over the job data section to change a Soldier that returned from AIT and it did not transition over to IPPS-A? I know that there is a portion in job data at the bottom to change the Military codes, but I don't want to interfere with the assignments that are already there. Do I create a whole new row and change the action/reason type? milsuite.mil/book/message/1023803 d. APPROVED FROM RLAS BUT NOT ABLE TO ARRIVE SOLDIER. I have been trying to clear out the Temporary assignments that crossed over from the Brownout into IPPS-A. The Soldier did not attend and the orders were revoked prior. How can I clear that portion out, so the Soldier's status can be changed to arrive and move him to another UIC within the BN? milsuite.mil/book/message/1023804 6. BRANCH/COMMAND ITEMS. a.
