Data quality — Part 120: Master data: Exchange of characteristic data: Provenance

ISO 8000-120:2016 specifies requirements for the representation and exchange of information about the provenance of master data that consists of characteristic data, and supplements the requirements of ISO 8000‑110. ISO 8000-120:2016 does not specify a complete model for characteristic data, nor does it specify an exchange format for characteristic data with provenance information. The following are within the scope of ISO 8000-120:2016: · scenarios for data provenance; · requirements for capture and exchange of data provenance information; · data model for data provenance information. The following are outside the scope of ISO 8000-120:2016: · exchange format for data provenance information; · scheme for registering and resolving organization identifiers and person identifiers; · provenance of data that are not characteristic data represented as property values; · configuration management; · change control; · syntax of identifiers; · resolution of identifiers. Some of the requirements in ISO 8000-120:2016 can apply to exchange of data that is not master data which consists of characteristic data represented as property values.

Introduction
The ability to create, collect, store, maintain, transfer, process and present data to support business
processes in a timely and cost effective manner requires both an understanding of the characteristics
of the data that determine its quality, and an ability to measure, manage and report on data quality.
ISO 8000 defines characteristics that can be tested by any organization in the data supply chain to
objectively determine conformance of the data to ISO 8000.
ISO 8000 provides frameworks for improving data quality for specific kinds of data. The frameworks
can be used independently or in conjunction with quality management systems.
ISO 8000 covers industrial data quality characteristics throughout the product life cycle from
conception to disposal. ISO 8000 addresses specific kinds of data including, but not limited to, master
data, transaction data, and product data.
ISO 8000-110 specifies requirements that can be checked by computer for the exchange, between
organizations and systems, of master data that consists of characteristic data. It provides requirements
for data quality, independent of syntax. This part of ISO 8000 specifies requirements for capture and
exchange of data provenance information and supplements the requirements of ISO 8000-110. This part
of ISO 8000 includes a conceptual data model for data provenance.
Data provenance information can be used to detect data echoes, and can be used to determine the
credibility, currency or value of data. Data provenance information provides a necessary capability to
support claims of data accuracy.
NOTE Requirements regarding claims of data accuracy are covered in ISO 8000-130.
Any claim of conformance to this part of ISO 8000 implies a claim of conformance to ISO 8000-110.
This part of ISO 8000 can be used with any other standard that specifies a formal syntax for a data set.

Data quality —
Part 120:
Master data: Exchange of characteristic data: Provenance
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8000 specifies requirements for the representation and exchange of information about
the provenance of master data that consists of characteristic data, and supplements the requirements
of ISO 8000-110.
NOTE 1 ISO 8000-110 specifies that such data be represented as property values. This part of ISO 8000
provides additional requirements for property values when provenance information needs to be captured.
Provenance is the history or pedigree of a property value.
This part of ISO 8000 does not specify a complete model for characteristic data, nor does it specify an
exchange format for characteristic data with provenance information.
NOTE 2 This is done in other standards that reference this part of ISO 8000, e.g. ISO 22745-40.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 8000:
— scenarios for data provenance;
— requirements for capture and exchange of data provenance information;
— conceptual data model for data provenance information.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 8000:
— exchange format for data provenance information;
— scheme for registering and resolving organization identifiers and person identifiers;
— provenance of data that are not characteristic data represented as property values;
— configuration management;
— change control;
— syntax of identifiers;
— resolution of identifiers.
Some of the requirements in this part of ISO 8000 can apply to exchange of data that is not master data
which consists of characteristic data represented as property values.
NOTE 3 ISO 8000-100 provides an overview of the master data quality series of parts of ISO 8000 and a
description of its overall structure.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

5 Fundamental concepts and assumptions
The Oxford English Dictionary defines provenance as:
— the fact of coming from some particular source or quarter; origin, or derivation;
— the history or pedigree of a work of art, manuscript, rare book, etc.; concretely a record of the
ultimate derivation and passage of an item through its various owners.
In this part of ISO 8000, the term “data provenance” corresponds to the first part of the second definition
above: “history or pedigree of a property value”; the term “provenance record” corresponds to the
second half of second definition above: “record of the ultimate derivation and passage of a property
value through its various custodians”.

6 Provenance data model
6.1 Diagram
The UML class diagram for the provenance model is given in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — UML class diagram for provenance
NOTE The entity property_value_assignment is the intersection point between this data model and the
target data model: the model of data for which provenance information is to be recorded. When the data model
in Clause 6 is integrated with the target data model, this entity needs to be replaced with the appropriate entity
from the target data model.
6.2 date_and_time
A date_and_time is a point in time, expressed in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
6.3 ISO_6523_identifier
An ISO_6523_identifier is an identifier of an organization and possibly a subdivision of an organization,
conforming to the structure specified in ISO/IEC 6523-1.
NOTE The syntax of ISO/IEC 6523-1 identifiers is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
6.4 property_value_assignment
A property_value_assignment is a data_object that is a pair of a value and an identifier to a property
defined in a data dictionary.
Attribute definitions:
ID: the string that unambiguously identifies the property_value_assignment within the
organization that created it.
NOTE 1  The identifier need only be unique or meaningful within the organization that
created the property_value_assignment.
NOTE 2  The format of the identifier is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
provenance: the provenance_event that provides information on the provenance of the proper-
ty_value_assignment.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 8000-120:2016(E)

Assertions:
Each property_value_assignment has its provenance recorded by one or many provenance_event
objects. Each provenance_event records the provenance for exactly one property_value_assignment.
6.5 provenance_event
A provenance_event is an event for which data provenance information is recorded.
Attribute definitions:
event_type: the event for which data provenance information is recorded.
organization_ref: the unambiguous identifier of the organization and possibly the subdivison of the
organization that performed the event, conforming to the structure defined in ISO/
IEC 6523-1 and assigned in accordance with ISO/IEC 6523-2.
person_ref: the identifier assigned by the organization to the person who performed the event.
NOTE 1  The identifier need only be unique within the organization.
NOTE 2  The format of the identifier is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
role_ref: the identifier assigned by the organization to the role within the organization played
by the person who performed the event.
NOTE 3  The identifier need only be unique within the organization.
NOTE 4  The format of the identifier is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
when: the point in time at which the event took place.
Assertions:
Each provenance event records the provenance for exactly one property_value_assignment. Each
property_value_assignment has its provenance recorded by one or many provenance_event objects.
7 Data provenance record
The data provenance record for a property value is the record of the ultimate derivation and passage of
the property value through its various custodians.
The data provenance record for a property value shall be either:
— included in the structure that represents property value;
EXAMPLE 1  The following is an XML code fragment in which the data provenance record is included
in the XML structure that represents property value.
Coded:

 
  date=”2008-10-27T15:40:31.287”/>

Decoded:

NOTE 1 See D.1 for an explication of the codes in the examples above.
NOTE 2 This part of ISO 8000 does not require that a master data message use the specific structures shown
in the examples above, or that it use XML syntax at all.
NOTE 3 In the examples above, data are given in coded form followed by decoded form for clarity. An actual
master data message is required to be in coded form (see ISO 8000-110).
The data provenance record for a property value shall include:
— identification of the data creator (the organization, and possibly the person and role within the
organization, that created the data);
— identification of each data extractor (the organization, and possibly the person and role within the
organization, that extracted the data).
NOTE 4 As specified in 6.5, the following information is required for a provenance event:
— event type (e.g. “create”, “extract”);
© ISO 2016 – All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 8000-120:2016(E)

— organization reference;
— event date and time.
8 Conformance requirements
Any property value for which conformance to this part of ISO 8000 is claimed shall:
— conform to ISO 8000-110;
— have a data provenance record that satisfies the requirements of Clause 7.
This part of ISO 8000 provides for a number of options that may be supported by an implementation.
These options have been grouped into the following conformance classes:
— free decoding;
— fee-based decoding.
Conformance to the free decoding conformance class requires conformance to the free decoding
conformance class of ISO 8000-110.
Conformance to the fee-based decoding conformance class requires conformance to the fee-based
decoding conformance class of ISO 8000-110.

Annex C
(informative)

Scenarios
C.1 Purpose
The purpose of this annex is to help explain the business case for this part of ISO 8000. It is not essential
to the application of this part of ISO 8000.
C.2 Abbreviated terms
The following abbreviated terms are used in this annex:
DDCMO Department of Defense Demilitarization Coding Management Office
DEMIL Demilitarization
DRS Data Requirements Statement
FLIS Federal Logistics Information System
NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization
NCB National Codification Bureau
NIIN National Item Identification Number
NSN National Stock Number
PICA Primary Inventory Control Activity
C.3 Background
The National Stock Number (NSN) is accepted by a number of countries as a unique identifier for an
item of supply. The NSN consists of 13 digits. The first four are the NATO Supply Classification Code
(NSC), and the remaining nine digits are the National Item Identification Number (NIIN). The NIIN, in
turn, is made up of a two-digit NATO code for the National Codification Bureau (NCB), followed by a
seven digit number assigned by the individual NCB.
The use cases in the following clauses use the United States NCB, the DLA logistics information service,
as an example. DLA logistics information service’s catalogue of items of supply is the Federal Logistics
Information System (FLIS), which is federated with other NCBs’ catalogues through the NATO system.
NOTE It is expected that the issues would be similar for any large organization that manages its own items
of supply.
C.4 Provisioning requirements for a new NSN
Each service provisioning agreement is different, but all requirements for NSNs must have at minimum
a part number and a manufacturer with a NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) code, in
addition to other essential codes such as demilitarization (DEMIL). Technical Data should be required
based on specific contracts/agreements between countries (companies).

ISO 8000-120:2016(E)

The cataloguer first validates technical data by ensuring that the data provided is accurate for item
identification. For each type of drawing (vendor item drawing, source control drawing, envelope
drawing, altered item drawing, etc.) the government has a list of requirements these drawings must
meet. The cataloguer then transcribes the information from the drawings into FLIS, documenting what
types of part numbers correspond to the different types of drawings. The NIIN assignment date is
established and the drawings are stored within electronic databases for future reference.
EXAMPLE Table C.1 shows the technical and logistics data for NSN 5962–00–057–7131.

C.5 Demilitarization
When a new item is stocked, the item manager inputs an initial DEMIL code, which is a code instructing
the user on method and degree to which an item that is no longer needed needs to be demilitarized
before it is disposed of.
Tracking of DEMIL codes from inception to disposal from a Department of Defense Demilitarization
Coding Management Office (DDCMO) perspective is accomplished through the historical records
maintained within the FLIS.
The DEMIL code’s validity and the subsequent actions necessary to ensure proper disposal, or restriction
from reutilization by unauthorized parties, are often verified using the past documentation on how the
code was originally determined and what significant regulatory requirements may have changed that
would drive a different code to be assigned. The DEMIL code plays a significant role in ensuring that
parts and systems are maintained, stocked, stored and issued with the interests of national security
and safety in mind. Changes to the DEMIL code can occur throughout the item of supply lifecycle, and
are often utilized from an investigatory standpoint by law enforcement and international agencies. The
history provides a means by which the code can be tracked by date, organization and individual making
the decision, as well as the rationale for the decision.
10 © ISO 2016 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
ISO 8000-120:2016(E)

When a DEMIL code is input, the database captures both the identity of the person inputting the code
(through employee number), as well as the date and time of the input. The database keeps track of all
previous versions of this information. By capturing this information, a person can trace the original
provenance of the DEMIL information and capture any changes in the code. This is extremely important
because incorrect DEMIL codes can cause revenue losses, significant hazard to personnel or material,
and security incidents if material does not get demilitarized correctly.
DLA logistics information service stores the DEMIL code and its provenance information in database
table “Table 812”. The columns are defined as follows:
I_I_NBR_4131 Item identification number. An arbitrary number assigned by DLA logistics
information service to identify the item of supply. This constitutes the last
seven characters of the NIIN (and hence, the NSN).
PICA_2866 A code indicating the principal supply control activity responsible for estab-
lishing stockage objectives, controlling stockage objectives and maintaining
item accountability for an item of supply.
DEMIL_CD_0167 A code to identify each item requiring demilitarization and the type of demil-
itarization required.
RECM_DEMIL_2847 Recommended demilitarization code. The code that represents the DEMIL
code recommended by the DLA logistics information service DDCMO.
USR_CD_1101 User CODE. A code used for the purpose of identifying an individual and de-
termining what that individual can access in the online environment.
DEMIL_REVW_DT_0146 Demilitarization item review Julian date. The Julian date on which the DEMIL
code is reviewed by the DLA logistics information service DDCMO. Format:
YYYYDDD.
PICA_RSP_DT_0150 Demilitarization PICA response Julian date. The Julian date on which the
PICA responds by inputting the recommended DEMIL code to FLIS. Format:
YYYYDDD.
NOTE Columns and rows not relevant to the discussion in this annex have been omitted.
EXAMPLE Table C.2 shows an extract of Table 812 for National Stock Number (NSN) 5962–00–057–7131.
(The first column, “Row number”, is not part of Table 812 but is included here to allow rows to be referenced
conveniently.)
— The DCMO performed the initial review upon stocklisting on Julian date 1999250 (1999-09-07) and
recommended that the DEMIL code be changed from “A” to “B”.
This is recorded in row 1 of Table C.2. The date of review is in column DEMIL_REVW_DT_0146.
— The recommended change to the DEMIL code from the first review (step a) was circulated, and
following coordination, the DEMIL code was changed to “B” in FLIS on Julian date 2000066

Introduction
The ability to create, collect, store, maintain, transfer, process and present data to support business
processes in a timely and cost effective manner requires both an understanding of the characteristics
of the data that determine its quality, and an ability to measure, manage and report on data quality.
ISO 8000 defines characteristics that can be tested by any organization in the data supply chain to
objectively determine conformance of the data to ISO 8000.
ISO 8000 provides frameworks for improving data quality for specific kinds of data. The frameworks
can be used independently or in conjunction with quality management systems.
ISO 8000 covers industrial data quality characteristics throughout the product life cycle from
conception to disposal. ISO 8000 addresses specific kinds of data including, but not limited to, master
data, transaction data, and product data.
ISO 8000-110 specifies requirements that can be checked by computer for the exchange, between
organizations and systems, of master data that consists of characteristic data. It provides requirements
for data quality, independent of syntax. This part of ISO 8000 specifies requirements for capture and
exchange of data provenance information and supplements the requirements of ISO 8000-110. This part
of ISO 8000 includes a conceptual data model for data provenance.
Data provenance information can be used to detect data echoes, and can be used to determine the
credibility, currency or value of data. Data provenance information provides a necessary capability to
support claims of data accuracy.
NOTE Requirements regarding claims of data accuracy are covered in ISO 8000-130.
Any claim of conformance to this part of ISO 8000 implies a claim of conformance to ISO 8000-110.
This part of ISO 8000 can be used with any other standard that specifies a formal syntax for a data set.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 8000-120:2016(E)
Data quality —
Part 120:
Master data: Exchange of characteristic data: Provenance
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8000 specifies requirements for the representation and exchange of information about
the provenance of master data that consists of characteristic data, and supplements the requirements
of ISO 8000-110.
NOTE 1 ISO 8000-110 specifies that such data be represented as property values. This part of ISO 8000
provides additional requirements for property values when provenance information needs to be captured.
Provenance is the history or pedigree of a property value.
This part of ISO 8000 does not specify a complete model for characteristic data, nor does it specify an
exchange format for characteristic data with provenance information.
NOTE 2 This is done in other standards that reference this part of ISO 8000, e.g. ISO 22745-40.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 8000:
— scenarios for data provenance;
— requirements for capture and exchange of data provenance information;
— conceptual data model for data provenance information.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 8000:
— exchange format for data provenance information;
— scheme for registering and resolving organization identifiers and person identifiers;
— provenance of data that are not characteristic data represented as property values;
— configuration management;
— change control;
— syntax of identifiers;
— resolution of identifiers.
Some of the requirements in this part of ISO 8000 can apply to exchange of data that is not master data
which consists of characteristic data represented as property values.
NOTE 3 ISO 8000-100 provides an overview of the master data quality series of parts of ISO 8000 and a
description of its overall structure.

5 Fundamental concepts and assumptions
The Oxford English Dictionary defines provenance as:
— the fact of coming from some particular source or quarter; origin, or derivation;
— the history or pedigree of a work of art, manuscript, rare book, etc.; concretely a record of the
ultimate derivation and passage of an item through its various owners.
In this part of ISO 8000, the term “data provenance” corresponds to the first part of the second definition
above: “history or pedigree of a property value”; the term “provenance record” corresponds to the
second half of second definition above: “record of the ultimate derivation and passage of a property
value through its various custodians”.

6 Provenance data model
6.1 Diagram
The UML class diagram for the provenance model is given in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — UML class diagram for provenance
NOTE The entity property_value_assignment is the intersection point between this data model and the
target data model: the model of data for which provenance information is to be recorded. When the data model
in Clause 6 is integrated with the target data model, this entity needs to be replaced with the appropriate entity
from the target data model.
6.2 date_and_time
A date_and_time is a point in time, expressed in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
6.3 ISO_6523_identifier
An ISO_6523_identifier is an identifier of an organization and possibly a subdivision of an organization,
conforming to the structure specified in ISO/IEC 6523-1.
NOTE The syntax of ISO/IEC 6523-1 identifiers is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
6.4 property_value_assignment
A property_value_assignment is a data_object that is a pair of a value and an identifier to a property
defined in a data dictionary.
Attribute definitions:
ID: the string that unambiguously identifies the property_value_assignment within the
organization that created it.
NOTE 1  The identifier need only be unique or meaningful within the organization that
created the property_value_assignment.
NOTE 2  The format of the identifier is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
provenance: the provenance_event that provides information on the provenance of the proper-
ty_value_assignment.

ISO 8000-120:2016(E)

Assertions:
Each property_value_assignment has its provenance recorded by one or many provenance_event
objects. Each provenance_event records the provenance for exactly one property_value_assignment.
6.5 provenance_event
A provenance_event is an event for which data provenance information is recorded.
Attribute definitions:
event_type: the event for which data provenance information is recorded.
organization_ref: the unambiguous identifier of the organization and possibly the subdivison of the
organization that performed the event, conforming to the structure defined in ISO/
IEC 6523-1 and assigned in accordance with ISO/IEC 6523-2.
person_ref: the identifier assigned by the organization to the person who performed the event.
NOTE 1  The identifier need only be unique within the organization.
NOTE 2  The format of the identifier is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
role_ref: the identifier assigned by the organization to the role within the organization played
by the person who performed the event.
NOTE 3  The identifier need only be unique within the organization.
NOTE 4  The format of the identifier is not specified in this part of ISO 8000.
when: the point in time at which the event took place.
Assertions:
Each provenance event records the provenance for exactly one property_value_assignment. Each
property_value_assignment has its provenance recorded by one or many provenance_event objects.
7 Data provenance record
The data provenance record for a property value is the record of the ultimate derivation and passage of
the property value through its various custodians.
The data provenance record for a property value shall be either:
— included in the structure that represents property value;
EXAMPLE 1  The following is an XML code fragment in which the data provenance record is included
in the XML structure that represents property value.

NOTE 1 See D.1 for an explication of the codes in the examples above.
NOTE 2 This part of ISO 8000 does not require that a master data message use the specific structures shown
in the examples above, or that it use XML syntax at all.
NOTE 3 In the examples above, data are given in coded form followed by decoded form for clarity. An actual
master data message is required to be in coded form (see ISO 8000-110).
The data provenance record for a property value shall include:
— identification of the data creator (the organization, and possibly the person and role within the
organization, that created the data);
— identification of each data extractor (the organization, and possibly the person and role within the
organization, that extracted the data).
NOTE 4 As specified in 6.5, the following information is required for a provenance event:
— event type (e.g. “create”, “extract”);

8 Conformance requirements
Any property value for which conformance to this part of ISO 8000 is claimed shall:
— conform to ISO 8000-110;
— have a data provenance record that satisfies the requirements of Clause 7.
This part of ISO 8000 provides for a number of options that may be supported by an implementation.
These options have been grouped into the following conformance classes:
— free decoding;
— fee-based decoding.
Conformance to the free decoding conformance class requires conformance to the free decoding
conformance class of ISO 8000-110.
Conformance to the fee-based decoding conformance class requires conformance to the fee-based
decoding conformance class of ISO 8000-110.

Annex C
(informative)

Scenarios
C.1 Purpose
The purpose of this annex is to help explain the business case for this part of ISO 8000. It is not essential
to the application of this part of ISO 8000.
C.2 Abbreviated terms
The following abbreviated terms are used in this annex:
DDCMO Department of Defense Demilitarization Coding Management Office
DEMIL Demilitarization
DRS Data Requirements Statement
FLIS Federal Logistics Information System
NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization
NCB National Codification Bureau
NIIN National Item Identification Number
NSN National Stock Number
PICA Primary Inventory Control Activity
C.3 Background
The National Stock Number (NSN) is accepted by a number of countries as a unique identifier for an
item of supply. The NSN consists of 13 digits. The first four are the NATO Supply Classification Code
(NSC), and the remaining nine digits are the National Item Identification Number (NIIN). The NIIN, in
turn, is made up of a two-digit NATO code for the National Codification Bureau (NCB), followed by a
seven digit number assigned by the individual NCB.
The use cases in the following clauses use the United States NCB, the DLA logistics information service,
as an example. DLA logistics information service’s catalogue of items of supply is the Federal Logistics
Information System (FLIS), which is federated with other NCBs’ catalogues through the NATO system.
NOTE It is expected that the issues would be similar for any large organization that manages its own items
of supply.
C.4 Provisioning requirements for a new NSN
Each service provisioning agreement is different, but all requirements for NSNs must have at minimum
a part number and a manufacturer with a NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) code, in
addition to other essential codes such as demilitarization (DEMIL). Technical Data should be required
based on specific contracts/agreements between countries (companies).

The cataloguer first validates technical data by ensuring that the data provided is accurate for item
identification. For each type of drawing (vendor item drawing, source control drawing, envelope
drawing, altered item drawing, etc.) the government has a list of requirements these drawings must
meet. The cataloguer then transcribes the information from the drawings into FLIS, documenting what
types of part numbers correspond to the different types of drawings. The NIIN assignment date is
established and the drawings are stored within electronic databases for future reference.

C.5 Demilitarization
When a new item is stocked, the item manager inputs an initial DEMIL code, which is a code instructing
the user on method and degree to which an item that is no longer needed needs to be demilitarized
before it is disposed of.
Tracking of DEMIL codes from inception to disposal from a Department of Defense Demilitarization
Coding Management Office (DDCMO) perspective is accomplished through the historical records
maintained within the FLIS.
The DEMIL code’s validity and the subsequent actions necessary to ensure proper disposal, or restriction
from reutilization by unauthorized parties, are often verified using the past documentation on how the
code was originally determined and what significant regulatory requirements may have changed that
would drive a different code to be assigned. The DEMIL code plays a significant role in ensuring that
parts and systems are maintained, stocked, stored and issued with the interests of national security
and safety in mind. Changes to the DEMIL code can occur throughout the item of supply lifecycle, and
are often utilized from an investigatory standpoint by law enforcement and international agencies. The
history provides a means by which the code can be tracked by date, organization and individual making
the decision, as well as the rationale for the decision.

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
ISO 8000-120:2016(E)

When a DEMIL code is input, the database captures both the identity of the person inputting the code
(through employee number), as well as the date and time of the input. The database keeps track of all
previous versions of this information. By capturing this information, a person can trace the original
provenance of the DEMIL information and capture any changes in the code. This is extremely important
because incorrect DEMIL codes can cause revenue losses, significant hazard to personnel or material,
and security incidents if material does not get demilitarized correctly.
DLA logistics information service stores the DEMIL code and its provenance information in database
table “Table 812”. The columns are defined as follows:
I_I_NBR_4131 Item identification number. An arbitrary number assigned by DLA logistics
information service to identify the item of supply. This constitutes the last
seven characters of the NIIN (and hence, the NSN).
PICA_2866 A code indicating the principal supply control activity responsible for estab-
lishing stockage objectives, controlling stockage objectives and maintaining
item accountability for an item of supply.
DEMIL_CD_0167 A code to identify each item requiring demilitarization and the type of demil-
itarization required.
RECM_DEMIL_2847 Recommended demilitarization code. The code that represents the DEMIL
code recommended by the DLA logistics information service DDCMO.
USR_CD_1101 User CODE. A code used for the purpose of identifying an individual and de-
termining what that individual can access in the online environment.
DEMIL_REVW_DT_0146 Demilitarization item review Julian date. The Julian date on which the DEMIL
code is reviewed by the DLA logistics information service DDCMO. Format:
YYYYDDD.
PICA_RSP_DT_0150 Demilitarization PICA response Julian date. The Julian date on which the
PICA responds by inputting the recommended DEMIL code to FLIS. Format:
YYYYDDD.
