MILSTRIP Data Line

Back 3

-Comprised of 17 data elements
-Elements are sequenced in a specific order, composing 66 individual record positions (RP)
-If an element is not required for your data line leave spaces in the line where the element is located
-some data elements are used differently for various types of transactions: Requisition, Follow-up, Modification
or Cancellation

DOCUMENT IDENTIFIER CODES
Document Identifier Code (DIC) in rp 1-3 provides the means for identifying a document as to
the system to which it pertains and further identifies the document’s intended purpose and usage.

RIC

Back 6

ROUTING IDENTIFIER CODES
Routing Identifier Codes (RICs) are assigned by services/agencies for processing
interservice/agency and intra-service/agency logistics transactions. The codes service
multiple purposes in that they are a source of supply codes, intersystem routing codes,

MEDIA AND STATUS CODES
Supply sources are required to provide status data to designated activities as notice of action
taken or being taken on MILSTRIP requisition type documents, materiel returns program
documents and related transactions. Status data is either “supply status” or “shipment status”
and may be informational or require additional data from the recipients. Activities to receive
status data and the type of data required are designated by a one-digit alphanumeric code in rp7.

NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER OR PART NUMBERS
The identifying number for items maintained and procured by the Federal government can be a
National Stock Number (NSN), manufacturer’s part number, or a temporary Activity Control
Number (ACN). The NSN, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code, part numbers are
entered in rp 8-22

SMIC

Back 9

A Special Material Identification Code
(SMIC) is a two-position alpha or alphanumeric code assigned by Navy
Supply Systems Command (NSSC). The SMIC* will be attached to the
end of any NSN item that requires one or more of the following
controls:
• Source of Supply control
• Technical design or configuration control
• Special control for procurement, receipt, inspection, test,
storage, and issue

U/I

Back 10

UNIT OF ISSUE CODES
The unit of issue (U/I) is a two-letter designation that indicates the count, measurement,
container or form of an item of supply. It is the minimum quantity of the item that may
be ordered. Like the National Stock Number (NSN), the U/I must be used on all
MILSTRIP and FEDSTRIP requisitions. The U/I code shall be entered in rp 23-24.

Example: EA (each)

Front 11

Quantity Code

Back 11

This code signifies how many units of issue are needed (that is,
quantity is expressed in terms of Unit of Issue). It is the seventh code
in Record Positions 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29.
A0AGSAS5120001881182 EA00002Z1140322086398R ASN MKS12239
In the example, the Quantity is 00002
Notice that the RPs to the left of the “2” have been filled with zeros.
This is a requirement.

Document #

Back 12

The Document Number is the unique alphanumeric code that identifies
the MILSTRIP requisition. It is the eighth code in the MILSTRIP
requisition in Record Positions 30 through 43. It is a mandatory code.
A0AGSAS5120001881182 EA00002Z1140322086398R ASN MKS12239
In this example the document number is: Z1140322086398
The Document Number is composed of four separate elements:
Code Name Description
Service/Agency Code One-digit alphabetic code
Requisitioner Code Five-digit numeric code
Julian Date Four-digit numeric code
Serial Number Four-digit numeric code
In our example:
• Service Code Z
• Requisitioner 11403
• Julian Date 2208
• Serial Number 6398

Front 13

Demand/Suffix Code

Back 13

This code identifies how often an item is ordered with a requisition. It is
the ninth code in RP 44. This is a mandatory code.
Demand Code information assists the Source of Supply with matters of
stock replenishment procurement related issues on their end. This
information help the supply source determine how much stock to keep
on hand or if they should discontinue the item.
Demand
Code
Description
N Nonrecurring Demand. Enter this code to identify a
requisition not covered by any other codes. It signifies a
requisition made on a one-time basis for material.
O Non-Demand. Enter this code when you need to substitute
acceptable items because the desired items are delayed.
R Recurring Demand. Enter this code to identify a requisition
for normal stock replenishment requisitions (repeat orders).
Note: When a MILSTRIP does not have a Demand Code, the
automatic default Demand Code is R. This is the most common
Demand Code, and N is the second most common code.

Supplementary Address Code

Back 14

SUPPLEMENTARY ADDRESS
US Coast Guard units are identified by Service or Activity addresses in order to procure and
receive materiel, get status data, and mailing of documentation through the Federal Supply
System. The Supplementary Address contains the Department of Defense Activity Address
Code (DoDAAC) or FEDSTRIP AAC in rp 45-50. The Supplementary Addresses are
established and disseminated by the DoD services, DLA, and GSA.

Signal Code

Back 15

SIGNAL CODES
The purpose of the signal code in A series documents is twofold in that it designates the field
containing the intended consignee (ship-to) and the activity to receive and effect payment of
bills, when applicable. In the case of the Materiel Returns Program (MRP) – (FT series), the
signal code designates the fields containing the intended consignor (ship-from) and the activity
to receive and process credits, when applicable. All requisitions/asset. All requisitions/asset
reports will contain the appropriate signal code. The signal code shall be inputted in record
position 51.

Front 16

Fund Code

Back 16

Indicates to the supply source that funds are available to pay for the
requisition. It also provides FINCEN with the data necessary for
financial processing. It is the twelfth code in RPs 52 through 53. This is
a mandatory code.

Front 17

COG

Back 17

COGNIZANCE (COG) CODES
The Cognizance (COG) Code is a two-part code that provides supply management data.
The first part of the symbol is numeric-code that identifies the supply store account in
which materiel is carried in the supply system. The second part of the COG symbol is
alpha-code that identifies the inventory manager or inventory control point (ICP) that has
cognizance, or control, of the materiel.

Front 18

Project Codes

Back 18

PROJECT CODES
A Project Code is a three-character alpha/numeric code that identifies special programs,
exercises, projects, operations, or other purposes on requisitions and related documentation. The
Project Code can be found in record positions (rp) 57-59 on the requisition. If no project code is
required, rp 57-59 will be left blank. Project Codes are assigned by the Chairman of the Joint
Chief of Staff (CJCS), Coast Guard Headquarters, district offices, Headquarters units, and
Inventory Control Points (ICPs) for the purpose of identifying requisitions and related
documentation and shipments or performance and cost data related to specific projects,
programs, certain operations and exercises.

PD

Back 19

PRIORITY SYSTEM
UNIFORM MATERIEL MOVEMENT AND ISSUE PROCEDURES
UMMIPS is a two-digit code known as Priority Designator (PD). Combining the assigned Force
Activity Designator (FAD) and the appropriate UND (Urgency of Need Designator) will enable
the requisitioner to determine the appropriate Priority Designator. It should be noted that an
assigned FAD normally limits the requisitioner to choosing from three Priority Designators
consistent with the UND. For example, a requisitioner assigned FAD III will normally select
Priority Designator 03, 06 or 13 based on the requisitioner’s determination as to whether the
UND is A, B or C.The PD is entered in rps 60 and 61.

an optional code.
