supply chain,
materiel management,
distribution,
transportation,
maintenance,
finance,
contracting,
procurement, and acquisition systems.

7. Functions of the DoDAAD
DoDAAD information is used throughout the Federal supply system for identification, requisitioning, shipping and billing.
All DOD, Federal and commercial shippers use the DoDAAD for address information.
The DoDAAD is comprised of Department of Defense Activity Address Codes (DoDAACs) and Routing Identifier Codes (RICs).
It is maintained by DAAS and accessible through an application.
Among other uses, DoDAAD information is used throughout the global Federal supply system for identifying contracting, requisitioning, shipping and billing activities.
All DOD, Federal, and commercial shippers use the DoDAAD for address information.
The DoDAAD is comprised of both Department of Defense Activity Address Codes known as DoDAACs, and Routing Identifier Codes, known as RICs.
The database is hosted by DAAS who also maintains the applications that support the database with user update and inquiry capabilities.

8. What is a DoDAAC?
A Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) uniquely identifies a unit, activity, or organization within the DoDAAD.
A unit, activity, or organization may have more than one DoDAAC for different authority codes or purposes.
Each activity that requisitions, contracts for, receives, has custody of, issues, ships DOD assets, or funds bills for materiel and/or services is identified by a DoDAAC in the DoDAAD.
Narrator: A Department of Defense Activity Address Code known as DoDAAC, uniquely identifies a unit, activity, or organization within the DoDAAD. A unit, activity, or organization may have more than one DoDAAC for different authority codes or purposes.
Each activity that requisitions, contracts for, receives, has custody of, issues, ships property, or funds/pays bills for materiel and/or services is identified by a DoDAAC in the DoDAAD.

9. Structure of a DoDAAC
The DoDAAC is a six-position, alphanumeric field that uses all available characters (0-9 and A-Z), except for the use of the letters “O” and “I” (which are not permitted.)
DoDAACs are structured by Service and Agency code in accordance with DLM , Volume 2, Appendix 7.2 to create a unique series for each Service or Agency. The DoDAAD Series Table lists all series.

The DoDAAC is a six-position, alphanumeric field, that uses all available characters (0-9 and A-Z), except for the letters “O” and “I”, which are not permitted.
DoDAACs are structured by Service and Agency code, in accordance with DLM , Volume 2, Appendix 7.2 to create a series unique to each Service or Agency that uses DoDAACs. The DoDAAD Series Table lists all series.
Note the example of the DoDAAD Series Table which shows that DoDAACs beginning with an “M” belong to and identify Marine Corps activities. You also see an example of a Marine Corps DoDAAC where the graphic indicates in this instance that for the Marine Corps, only the meaning of the first character is controlled at the DOD level and that the remaining five characters are defined by the Service.

10. Understanding a DoDAAC
All six positions of the DoDAAC are significant.
DoDAACs beginning with an alpha character belong to a DOD activity or a contractor sponsored by a DOD activity.
DoDAACs beginning with two numeric characters belong to a civilian agency.

All six positions of the DoDAAC are significant. Let’s look at a few examples.
DoDAACs beginning with an alpha character belong to a DOD activity or a contractor sponsored by a DOD activity.
DoDAACs beginning with an alpha character are managed by the DOD Central Service Point or CSP designated by the DoDAAD Series Table to manage DoDAACs in that series.
DoDAACs beginning with two numeric characters belong to civilian agency activities.
DoDAACs beginning with two numeric characters are managed by the General Services Administration, who serves as the Central Service Point (CSP) for managing for the federal agencies.

12. Using a DoDAAC
There are more than 100 data elements that comprise the structure of a DODAAC.
Requisitioner, ship-to, and bill-to addresses;
Electronic communications Routing Identifier Code;
Break Bulk Point Code; Port of Debarkation Code;
Authority Code; CAGE Code; Major Command Code;
Points of Contact; etc.
There are more than 100 data elements that comprise the structure of a DoDAAC. The following are but a few. The full list of data elements and their definitions can be obtained from the DoDAAD PRC web page. Some of the most commonly used data elements are:
Requisitioner, ship-to, and bill-to addresses
Electronic Communications Routing Identifier Code
Break Bulk Point Code, Port of Debarkation Code
Authority Code, CAGE Code, Major Command Code
Points of Contact

13. Using a DoDAAC, continued
The DoDAAC is the basis for determination of:
ship to location for all systems on shipments from DOD shippers, vendor shippers, and Federal Agency shippers
Wide area work flow business event processing
The bill-to office for interfund billing
The DoDAAC is used to identify intergovernmental buyers and sellers for financial statement eliminations and account reconciliations for both DOD and the Federal Government.
The DoDAAC is the basis for determination of:
The activity that issued and signed a contract with a contractor
Ship to location for all systems for all shipments from DOD shippers, vendor shippers, and Federal Agency shippers
Wide Area Work Flow business event processing, to identify roles such as authorized to accept and take title to property for the government.
The bill-to office for interfund billing
The DoDAAC is used to identify Intergovernmental buyers and sellers for financial statement eliminations and account reconciliations for both DOD and the Federal Government.

14. Type of Address Code (TAC)
A DoDAAC may have up to three distinct addresses associated with it in the DoDAAD database. The Type of Address Code (TAC) differentiates the addresses.
TAC 1 – Official mailing address of the activity from USPS and MPSA. This address is mandatory.
TAC 2 – Ship-to Address
TAC 3 – Billing Address
Note: A RIC has only one TAC.
A DoDAAC may have up to three distinct addresses associated with it in the DoDAAD database. The Type of Address Code known as the TAC, differentiates the addresses as follows:
TAC 1 – Official mailing address of the activity from USPS or MPSA. This address is mandatory.
TAC 2 – Ship-to Address
TAC 3 – Billing Address
We are currently in a transition period, moving away from the legacy business rules where if a TAC 2 or 3 are not present, the system will default to the TAC 1 for the Ship-to or Bill-to address respectfully. We are migrating away from these legacy business rules to simplify and eliminate any ambiguity regarding what the correct address is to be used.
A RIC has only one TAC.

15. DoDAAC Authority Code
Authority Code assigned by CSP limits authorized use.
00—Requisition, full authority
01—Ship-to Only
02—Finance, Bill-to Only
03—Do Not Ship To
04—DLA Disposition Services Only
05—Non-Requisition
06—Free Issue
07—Administrative
* RICs do not have Authority Codes, as they are used for routing.
The Authority code is assigned by the CSP to limit the authorized usage of a particular DoDAAC. Any individual DoDAAC will only have a single authority code. RICs do not have Authority codes, as they are used for routing of transactions. The following are the allowed authority codes that may be associated with a DoDAAC.
00 – Requisition. This is the broadest usage authority, having no limits; the authority codes that follow are restrictive to allow only what is named.
01 - Ship-to Only
02 - Finance, Bill-to Only
03 - Do Not Ship to
04 - DLA Disposition Services Only
05 - Non-Requisition
06 - Free Issue
07 - Administrative
DAAS applies edits as transactions are processed through its systems to enforce the appropriate usage. For example a requisition with a DoDAAC having an authority code 01 would be rejected and returned to the sending system, since the DoDAAC is only authorized to serve as a Ship-to.

Authority code edits work as restrictions or negatives to block certain conditions of the flow of all transactions in full authority. This graphic uses a series of dams as an analogy showing how all the flood gates open for all dams equates to authority code 00. The dams are applied depending on the restrictions set in place by the authority code definition. As you can see, the flow is highly restricted by dams for authority code 07 where a DoDAAC may be used as part of the contract number but it is restricted to only that administrative usage. All other functions in the case of authority code 07 are dammed to restrict the flow.

17. Other DoDAAC Data Elements
In addition to address information, other codes and data elements that comprise a DoDAAC include:
Unit Identification Code (UIC)
Major Command Code (MAJCOM)
Combatant Command (COCOM)
Accounting Disbursing Station Number/Fiscal Station Number (ADSN/FSN)
Contractor information: contract number, CAGE, CAO, sponsor, expiration date
Break Bulk Point (BBP)
Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD)
Water Port of Debarkation (WPOD)
Standard Point Location Code (SPLC)
Consolidation and Containerization Point (CCP)
Point of Contact information: name, , 10-digit phone number
In addition to address information, there are many other codes and data elements that comprise the information associated with a particular DoDAAC. The DoDAAD applications are constantly changing to meet the needs of its users and one type of change is the introduction of new data elements. The list of data elements shown on your screen is just a partial list. The full data dictionary can be found on the DoDAAD PRC Web page as seem at the bottom of the screen.
And much more ...

18. DoDAAC Usage Some uses of a DoDAAC include:
First 6 characters of every requisition document number
(Occurs at least once in nearly all logistics transactions)
First 6 characters of a Standard Document Number (SDN)
First 6 characters of every contract number (Procurement Instrument Identifier—PIID)
Some of the uses for a DoDAAC include the following:
It’s the first 6 characters of every contract number known as the Procurement Instrument Identifier or PIID. The PIID identifies the government contracting activity that entered into the contract with a vendor.
The DoDAAC is also the first 6 characters of every requisition document number.
And it occurs at least once, but usually multiple times, in nearly all logistics transactions.

19. DoDAAC Usage, continued
Password to the Federal Supply System—used to obtain materiel from DOD or federal sources
The Federal Government calls a DoDAAC Activity Address Code (AAC)
AAC is the basis for identifying buying and selling activities
AAC is used for financial eliminations and account reconciliations
It’s the password to the Federal Supply System. If an activity doesn’t have a DoDAAC, it can’t obtain materiel from DOD or Federal sources.
The Federal Government calls a DoDAAC just Activity Address Code, or AAC. The AAC is the basis for identifying buying and selling activities, and is used for financial eliminations and account reconciliations.

20. What is a RIC?
A Routing Identifier Code (RIC) is a 3-character, alpha-numeric code that uniquely identifies a unit, activity, or organization that requires system ability to route transactions or receive transactions routed to it (e.g., source of supply) within logistics and financial business systems.

22. Other RIC Data Elements
In addition to the single TAC address, other codes and data elements that comprise a RIC include:
Major Command Code (MAJCOM)
COCOM
Break Bulk Point (BBP) – for RICs, this is referred to as the “RIC_DODAAC.” It is the DoDAAC to which the RIC is associated. Every RIC is associated to a DoDAAC, but not every DoDAAC has a RIC. Some DoDAACs, though, can associate to more than one RIC.
And more…
In addition to the single TAC address, other codes and data elements that comprise a RIC include:
The Major Command Code or MAJCOM
The Combat Command or COCOM
The Break Bulk Point or BBP. For RICs this is referred to as the “RIC_DODAAC” and is the DoDAAC to which the RIC is associated. Every RIC is associated to a DoDAAC, but not every DoDAAC has a RIC. Some DoDAACs can be associated to more than one RIC.
This is a short list, but there are many more data elements that can make up a RIC.

23. Who can create a DoDAAC or RIC?
CSPs are assigned to create and maintain DoDAACs by Service and Agency code.
Each Service or Agency assigns a CSP at the Service or Agency level.
General Services Administration (GSA) serves as the CSP for all non-DOD Federal agencies.
Non-Federal Agency DoDAACs for authorized special programs (state, local, other) have specific CSPs assigned.
Narrator: Let’s briefly discuss who has the ability and authority to create a DoDAAC or a RIC.

>1 million Component application system accesses daily
>500,000 monthly queries from over 25,000 customers
DoDAACs exist at least once in nearly every DOD business event transaction
Hundreds of Component business systems rely upon it
Narrator: Now let’s review some interesting facts about the DoDAAD, which has been a critical reference repository for over 50 years. The metrics shown on your screen provide a sense of the criticality of the DoDAAD and DoDAACs..
There are more than 350,000 total DoDAACs in the DoDAAD. But let’s break that down to get a better understanding.
Of that total, more than 218,000 are DOD Service and Agency DoDAACs.
More than 90,000 are Federal Agency DoDAACs.
More than 25,000 are state and local level DoDAACs.
And more than 17,000 are contractor DoDAACs.
There are over 90 CSPs and Monitors that control data content with more than 9,000 data maintenance actions monthly.
Daily there are more than one million Component application system accesses to DoDAAD data content.
Over 25,000 customers execute more than 500,000 monthly Web queries from the DoDAAD.
Most significantly, DoDAACs exist at least once in nearly every DOD business event transaction. Hundreds of Component business systems rely upon it every day, some minute to minute.

26. DoDAAD—Governance

31. Defense Automatic Addressing
Narrator: Now we’re ready to move onto a discussion about how we perform inquiries on the DoDAAD database.
There are two query systems used to support the DoDAAD; the Defense Automatic Addressing System Inquiry known as DAASINQ, and the Enhanced Defense Automatic Addressing System Inquiry known as eDAASINQ.
DAASINQ is a public facing query that allows query of various data from DAAS. Among those data elements, it allows single query of DoDAACs or RICs, provided the user enters the known DoDAAC and/or RIC to be viewed. eDAASINQ is a restricted query that requires approval via a System Access Request (SAR) and a CAC card.
We’ll begin with a look at DAASINQ.

32. CAPTCHA Challenge
Narrator: The term CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. CAPTCHA is a program that protects web sites against robots by generating and grading tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot. For example, humans can read distorted text as the one shown on the challenge page, but current robot computer programs cannot.
CAPTCHA is a program that protects sites against robots by generating and grading tests that only humans can pass.

33. Access Warning Page
The first page is the U.S. Government warning page that prompts the user to Accept or Decline the terms.
Narrator: This is a screen shot of the warning page. It explains to the user that they are attempting to access a Government web site and prompts them to accept or decline the terms of the agreement. Accepting the agreement will allow them access. Declining will deny them access and take them to the DAAS home page. However at this time, there is a transition period, so the DAASINQ and eDAASINQ web site pages will still reflect DLA Transaction Services.

34. Navigation Page
The next page provides the various types of single queries. For this demo the focus will be on the DODAAC.
Narrator: The navigation page provides single prompt query for four different databases:
DoDAAC,
Military Address Program Address Code also known as MAPAC,
National Item Identification Number also known as NIIN
and RIC.
For this lesson we will only be covering the DoDAAC.

35. CISI Warning Page
DODAACs are Controlled Unclassified Information. This warning screen must be accepted before any queries are submitted.
Narrator: The DoDAAD is Critical Infrastructure Security Information or CISI. Thus information contained within it, specifically DoDAACs, are Controlled Unclassified Information. When this warning screen appears, it must be accepted before any queries are submitted.

36. Query Page
The DODAAC query in DAASINQ allows for only a single search of a DODAAC. Enter the DODAAC to be searched.
Narrator: After selecting DoDAAC from the navigation page, the query page only allows a search for a single DoDAAC and the user must already know the DoDAAC to enter. More robust queries by country, state, DoDAAD name, etc. are all handled by eDAASINQ. eDAASINQ will be addressed later in the lesson.

37. DAASINQ Search Results
The DAASINQ DODAAC query results provide all the data elements associated with the DODAAC searched.
Narrator: The search results for all publicly available fields are displayed on a single page.

38. Enhanced Defense Automatic Addressing System Inquiry
(eDAASINQ)
Narrator: eDAASINQ is the enhanced query system for DoDAAD and other databases hosted by DAAS. Both a System Access Request or SAR, and Common Access Card or CAC, are required to obtain access. This query system allows for more robust searches. It can be used to query the DoDAAD and will return all elements stored in the DoDAAD database. In addition to an online view, eDAASINQ also supports downloads of DoDAAD data to either an Excel spreadsheet or a delimited file.

39. Navigation Page
The first page determines your search. For this demo the focus will be on the DODAAC.
Narrator: The navigation page allows the user to select the data they want to query:
the Communications Routing Identifier also known as COMMRI,
Distribution Code,
DoDAAC,
Military Assistance Program Address Code or MAPAC,
National Item Identification Number or NIIN
or the RIC.
For this lesson, the focus will be on the DoDAAC.

40. eDAASINQ Query Screen
The DODAAC query allows searching on every field in the table. Each new value is a logic “AND”. This means if you enter a state, you can narrow your search by also adding a city. More about this later…
Narrator: The DoDAAC query in eDAASINQ allows the DoDAAD database to be searched by any available field. Each new value entered on the screen is considered to be an “AND” logical connection. For example, if you enter a state (MD), and city (Rockville), the results returned will only contain records with both values.
Wildcard values are allowed in most fields where data can be entered by typing into the field. For example, you can find all DoDAACs that begin with “W” by entering a percent sign after the value (i.e., W%). If you wanted to find all DoDAACs that contain 5 of the 6 same characters, then the user would insert an underscore character in the position for the varying values desired (i.e., W_1234). Using wildcards and multiple field values in a single query will allow the user to retrieve as little or as much as is needed to find what they are requiring.

41. DODAAC Search
Simple search for a single DODAAC. Notice the value of “FM5682” in the DODAAC field…
Narrator: eDAASINQ will also allow you to perform the same single query search you can perform using DAASINQ. For example, to search for a known DoDAAC, enter the DoDAAC value in the DoDAAC field.

42. DODAAC Search Results
This is the result of a single DODAAC search, after the user clicks the “View Results” button.
Narrator: The search results are all returned, but unlike DAASINQ the results are stored by categories within tabs:
DoDAAC,
Transportation,
Plain Language Address also known as PLAD,
Point of Contact also known as POC
and GSA.

43. Focused Search
Next, how to “narrow” a query. The first search is for all WPOD located at KF3…
Narrator: Sometimes you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, so you can enter a board query and if too many records are returned, you can enter more values to narrow the search, thus decreasing the results pool.
For this example, let’s assume you know what you are looking for is in Livorno, Italy and the shipment is using the water port of KF3. You enter KF3 in the WPOD field of the TAC 2 and click the view results button.

44. Focused Search, continued
The query found 463 records for WPOD KF3…
Narrator: The results of the search return 463 records, all containing the water port KF3. That is a lot of records to review, but you know the DoDAAC you are looking for is part of the Air Force.

45. KF3 and USAF
Narrator: To narrow the results you rerun the query again, but this time you enter KF3 in the WPOD and select USAF from the Service/Agency dropdown list.
For this search we entered “KF3” in the WPOD and selected “USAF” from the Service/Agency drop down list…

46. KF3 and USAF, continued
This time only 32 records were found, because the WPOD and Agency criteria were combined to limit the number of records found.
Narrator: The results from the KF3 and USAF results in only 32 records found. This is a much more manageable subset of records. You can now either view them online or download the results to a file.

47. Wildcard Search There are two types of wildcard searches available:
Percent sign '%' is for any number of characters
Underscore for a single character.
Since the % is pretty intuitive, here is an example of how to find DODAACs that start with “S” and end with “A”. Here we have entered “S____A”…
Narrator: There are two types of wildcard searches available. The percent sign (%) is used when you want to search for any character after the characters you entered. For example, if you entered “SD%” in the DoDAAC field, it would search for any DoDAAC that begins with the letters “SD”.
The other type of search is an underscore and it is used for single character substitution. For example, let’s say you want to find all DoDAACs that begin with “S” and end with “A”, you would enter “S____A” (that is an S followed by four underscores followed by an A). Since it is a single character wildcard, count carefully. As you can imagine, this search will likely have few applications. But when you need it, it’s nice to know how to use it.

48. Wildcard Results
The query found 229 records that begin with “S” and end with “A”.
Narrator: So, if we wanted to find all the DoDAACs that begin with “S” and end with “A”, we would enter “S____A” (that is an S followed by four underscores followed by an A). This query will yield all the DoDAACs for the Defense Contract Management Agency or DCMA. The results of this query yielded 229 DoDAACs that meet that criterion.

49. Search for Red Cross
Finally, a simple query to find where the Red Cross is in Dayton. The first line of the address contains “Red Cross%”, so it will search for anything that begins with “Red Cross”. In the city field, we have entered Dayton…
Narrator: Sometimes even seemingly simple queries do not produce the results expected. Let’s say we want to find the Red Cross in Dayton. We enter the words “Red Cross”, followed by a percent sign (%) in the first line of TAC 1, and enter “Dayton” in the city field.

50. Red Cross Query Results
Nothing was found, because our criteria didn’t account for the fact that the official name is the “American” Red Cross…
Narrator: The results of our Red Cross query yielded no results, but we know there is at least one Red Cross DoDAAC in Dayton. The official name is the “American Red Cross”, but there may be a better query to ensure results.

51. Second Search for Red Cross
This time the search for the first line of the address contains “%Red Cross%”, so it will find the phrase “Red Cross” anywhere in the line. In the city field, Dayton…
Narrator: We are again going to search for the Red Cross in Dayton, but this time we enter “percent sign (%) Red Cross percent sign (%), in line one of the TAC 1, and Dayton in the city field.

52. Red Cross Query Results
Only one record found – success!
Narrator: Success! This time our query found the Red Cross in Dayton.

53. DoDAAD Update Application (Reserved for Central Service Point and Monitor Access Only)
Narrator: The DoDAAD Update Application is reserved for Central Service Points (CSP) and DoDAAD Monitors. The next few slides will highlight how data is maintained in the DoDAAD database.

54. DoDAAD – Adding a new DODAAC
After Login, the first screen prompts for a DODAAC. If an existing DODAAC is entered, you will be presented an update screen. If a non-existing DODAAC is entered, you will be presented with a screen to add the DODAAC.
Narrator: Adding a DoDAAC, updating a DoDAAC or deleting a DoDAAC all start at the same place, the “Enter DoDAAC” page. On this page you enter the six character DoDAAC and click submit. If the DoDAAC exists, it will appear with the next page. If the DoDAAC does not exist, you will be presented with a blank DoDAAC page and have to fill in all required data elements.

55. DoDAAD – Adding DODAAC (cont.)
Basic information required to create a DODAAC is DODAAC, COMMRI, and TAC 1 address.
To speed up the creation process, TAC information may be copied from another DODAAC
Narrator: The minimum amount of data required to establish a DoDAAC is based on the Authority Code. If the Authority Code is 07 (Administrative), only the TAC 1 data elements are required. If the Authority Code is 00 (Requisitioning), TACs 1, 2 and 3 are all required. More information about the Authority Code and minimum requirements can be found in the DLMS Volume 6, Chapter 2 on DoDAAD.

56. There are multiple methods to copy information:
DoDAAD – “Copy To”
There are multiple methods to copy information:
To copy from a TAC address from another DODAAC, check the copy and enter a TAC
Narrator: The ‘Copy To” function was created to help fill the address information on the DoDAAC. There are two paths for copying address information:
First, the address can be copied from another DoDAAC. In this case, you enter the DoDAAC in the appropriate field and check if you want to copy all TACs from the other DoDAAC or just a specific TAC.

57. DoDAAD – “Copy To”, continued
To copy a TAC address from within the same DODAAC, click the red button
Narrator: The second technique is to copy from within the DoDAAC you are editing. For example, after entering the TAC 1 information, the TAC 1 address can be copied to the TAC address by click on the red button to the left of “Click here to copy current TAC 1 to TAC 2.

58. DoDAAD – Update
To update an existing DODAAC, you simply start by entering the specific DODAAC (6 positions) and click submit
After you have changed the record, click the “Save” button to write your changes back to the DoDAAD master
Narrator: To modify an existing DoDAAC, you start with the same page you use to add or delete a DoDAAC. First, you enter the 6 character DoDAAC and click the submit button to the right of the DoDAAC entry field. After you make your changes, be sure to click the ‘Save’ button to apply your changes to the database.

59. DoDAAD – Delete function
The Delete function is similar to the Modify function. Fill in an existing DODAAC and click submit to retrieve the record
Tab to the “DEL” field and enter the date of when the delete should occur (e.g., 09/15/2015)
Narrator: The delete function starts the same way as the add and update functions, but the delete function has a few added twists. First, you have the ability to delete an individual TAC or the entire DoDAAC. If you enter a delete date on the TAC 2 or 3, you are only deleting that specific TAC address. However if you enter a delete date for the TAC 1, you are deleting the entire DoDAAC.

60. DoDAAD – Future Effective Dates
The DoDAAD also supports future effective dates. If the change should not be applied immediately, enter the date of when the change event should occur (e.g., 06/01/2016) and the change will wait in a pending state until the date occurs
Narrator: Future effective dates may be used for both the Effective date and the delete date. For example, if you enter a delete date beyond today’s current date, the record will be saved and the actual delete will not occur until the date you entered is reached. This same technique can be used to delay modifications, by entering a future date in the effective date field.

61. DoDAAD – Message Entry function
Sometimes the goal is to enter something other than an address (i.e. telephone numbers for deployed ships, ‘CALL NAVSUP GLS’, etc.) . The “Message Entry” indicator will bypass the City/State/Zip code edits to allow message data to be entered into the DoDAAD.
Narrator: Sometimes your goal is to enter a message or note in the TAC 2. If you check the “Message Entry (No Address Data)” box, you can enter information such as “Call NAVSUP GLS” in place of an address. Checking this box will bypass the normal edits that require a city, state and zip code for an address.

62. DoDAAD – Authority Code
The Authority code controls how the DODAAC can be used. A dropdown list provides the allowable options. If nothing is selected, the use will default to “00 - Requisition”
Narrator: The Authority Code controls how a DoDAAC can be used. Not all DoDAACs necessarily have requisition authority and the value of the Authority Code will dictate the TACs that must be entered for that particular DoDAAC.
00 – Requisition
01 – Ship-To Only
02 – Bill-To Only
03 – Do Not Ship-To
04 – DDS Only
05 – Non-Requisition
06 – Free Issue
07 - Administration
