Steps in a Wall-to-Wall Inventory
1. Plan and Organize2. Open ICN3. Print Custodian Receipt/Location Lists4. Conduct Physical Inventory5. Reconcile (update valuation information
and locations in DMLSS)6. Complete ICN
Step 1: Plan and Organize
Each activity needs a plan for conducting inventory (SOP)Can be included in your CEMP
Should include:Purpose of inventoryResponsibilities of personnelList of inventory areas and target datesIndoctrination of personnelSpecific physical inventory proceduresInstructions for inventory progress reportLocal requirements
Step 1: Plan and OrganizeScheduling
Recommendation to develop an inventory scheduleStart with Custodian/RO departure listPlan to begin inventory 20 days out from change
of CustodianTake into account Change of Command timing
Step 2: Open an ICN
Open a separate ICN for each Customer you are inventoryingOpening an ICN will “lock” your equipment
records so that no transfers can be completed outside of the inventory in that Department
All items must be inventoried, transferred, or removed from DMLSS before the ICN can be completed
Step 3: Print the Custodian
Receipt/Location list in DMLSS
•Print each customer individually
•Easiest method is to sort by ECN
Step 4: Conduct Physical Inventory
Teams should be selected and trained per your command’s inventory plan
Inventory teams must contain at least one member from outside the department
EM should oversee the physical inventory, but does not need to physically perform the inventory
Step 5: Reconciliation
Complete all Transfers, Gains, and LossesReconciliation valuation information:
ECN.Nomenclature of equipment.Manufacturer's Serial Number.Manufacturer’s Nameplate Model.Manufacturer’s Model Number. (Common
Model)Acquisition Cost.Custodian Name.Location. (Update Permanent Location)
Select the ECN you would like to inventory and click the Update button
Multiple ECN’s can be selected at once by holding the CTRL or SHIFT keys
• Enter the Room location where the item was found, inventory date, and who the inventory was performed by. Click “OK.” You should see a “Y” appear next to that ECN on the “Inv.” column.
• Once you have inventoried all items that were found, click the “Reconcile” Button
• Items can be added from other departments using the “Add” button
• Clicking the “Reconcile” button will take you to a screen showing all shortages and overages. All items must be transferred-out, lossed, or transferred-in on this screen before the inventory can be completed.
• You can perform transfers and losses by selecting the buttons on the horizontal toolbar.
• Be sure all appropriate loss documentation has been obtained before performing the loss (i.e. DD 1149, DD 1348-1A, DD 200)
• Close the Shortage/Overage window to return to the previous screen.
• Once there are no shortages or overages, click the “Complete” button.
• Select the inventory that you would like to complete and click Complete.
Step 6: Complete ICN
Close ICN in DMLSSPrint 2 copies of updated Customer
Receipt/Location ListEM and Custodian will sign and maintain copies
Retain all physical inventory sheets until the next Wall-to-Wall inventory
Monthly 10% Inventories

Customers each monthIf you have 40 separate customers, plan to
inventory 4 each monthInform departments prior to inventoryOpen separate ICN by Customer ID
Cyclical inventory strategy is the way ahead

Physical Inventory Plan for BSO-18 driven wall-to-wall
inventory
Review the guidance and identify required resources and deadlines. Develop a plan of action and brief the chain of command. Obtain
approval of the plan. Notify the command. Provide training. Deputize departmental equipment management
representative. Create an inventory control number (ICN) in DMLSS. Execute the plan. Update and reconcile the equipment inventory records on a daily basis. End physical inventory and process overages and shortages. Process transfers and losses documentation. Complete the inventory. Generate custodian inventory list and initiate DD 200s for custodian
review and signature. Generate inventory certification letter and for CO’s review and signature. Send original certification letter to BUMED-PMO.
Have you submitted an Inventory completion letter to BUMED-PMO? Have you established an inventory management plan per DODI 5000.64? Are you resolving inventory discrepancies in a timely manner? Are you posting completed inventories to the property book in a timely
manner? Are you tracking open inventories provided to custodians? Do you know
who is past due and the status to complete? Have you assigned count teams independent of the custodian? Are missing, lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed assets being surveyed and
in a timely manner? Are the being signed by the Commander? Do you know when custodians leave the command so that you can schedule
a turn-over inventory before they leave? Is the inventory team validating the assets condition, serial nbr, and
location? Do you have inventories in an open status and unreconciled greater than 60
days?
