designator of the requisition. It is the latest date that the supply system is expected to make delivery of the material  to  the  requisitioner. REQUISITIONER. The requisitioner can be any Navy activity, afloat or ashore, with a unit identification code (UIC) assigned by the NAVCOMPT Manual, Volume 2, Chapter 5, "Requisitioning Material from a Supply  Source.” SHIPMENT  STATUS.  The  shipment  status pertains to positive advice of shipment and indicator of shipment,   date   and   mode   of   shipment,   and transportation control number or bill of lading number, when  applicable. STATUS CODES. Status codes are used by supply sources  to  furnish  information  on  the  status  of requisitions to the requisitioner or consignee. 100-PERCENT SUPPLY STATUS. One-hundred-percent  supply  status  relates  to  any positive  or  negative  supply  distribution  decision  or action at any level; that is, any action taken by the supplier including issue of material in the exact quantity requested. You can see there is an extensive use of codes in MILSTRIP requisitioning (fig. 5-8). This is necessary because only 80 alphabetic or numeric characters (letters and numbers) can be placed on the card (this does not include the activity names shown in data blocks A and B). It is essential for you to select the correct code that conveys the proper information to the supplier. The correct codes are just as important on a requisition as the correct NSN. UMMIPS The  Uniform  Material  Movement  and  Issue  Priority System (UMMIPS) is a vital and integral part of the MILSTRIP  system.  MILSTRIP  provides  forms  and procedures  for  requisitioning  material,  and  UMMIPS provides the method of assigning priorities for issuing and  moving  material. UMMIPS ensures that material issue requests are processed  according  to  military  IMPORTANCE  and  the URGENCY  of  needs  by  the  requiring  activity.  The relative importance of completing demands for logistic system resources, such as transportation, warehousing, requisition  processing,  and  material  assets,  must  be identified before material can be issued and moved. The  relative  importance  and  urgency  of  logistic requirements are indicated by two-digit issue priority designators. Force/Activity Designator A Force/Activity Designator (F/AD) is a Roman numeral (I through V) that identifies and categorizes a force or activity on the basis of its military importance. The assignment of an F/AD is shown in NAVSUP P-485. Urgency of Need Designator The Urgency of Need Designator (UND) is an uppercase letter of the alphabet (A, B, or C) selected to indicate the relative urgency of a force or need of an activity  for  a  required  item  of  material.  The  assignment of an UND is the responsibility of the force or activity that requires the material. UND Definition A. Requirement is immediate. Without the material needed, the activity is unable to perform one or more of its primary missions. B. Requirement is immediate, or it is known that such requirement will occur in the immediate future. The ability of the activity to perform one or more of its primary missions is impaired until the material is received. C. Requirement is routine. Issue Priority Designator An Issue Priority Designator (IPD) is a two-digit number (01 highest to 15 lowest). You can determine an IPD by using the table of priority designators (table 5-2).
