MATERIAL TURNED IN TO STORES ASHORE

MATERIAL TURNED IN TO STORES ASHORE Supply support in a changing environment creates the need of a process by which the return of unneeded material can be screened for further use. Turn-in of material from consumers to Navy stock requires that activities turning in the material be given credit as appropriate. Navy material returned to stock points has traditionally been called material turned into store (MTIS) since stock points carry material in stores accounts. MTIS primarily exists to take ready-for- issue (RFI) turn-ins from customer activities and return them to stock to meet other Navy require- ments. It may also be used to return erroneous issues by stock points or to obtain needed repackaging/represervation with prior arrange- ments with the stock point (normally with customer service). Each transfer must be approved by the supply officer and entered in the ex- penditure record log. MTIS transactions do not include transfer of material to disposal or depot level repairable Turn-in of RFI material is accomplished by using a DD Form 1348-1 prepared by typewriter or ball-point pen (fig. 3-12). Refer to NAVSUP P-485, chapter 5, for instructions on how to prepare the turn-in document. CREDIT FOR TURN-IN Credit for turn-ins is given to the type com- mander (TYCOM) allotment indicated by the fund code on the DD Form 1348-1. Credit cannot be given for the following: — Appropriation purchase account (APA)— free issue items — Unidentified material-material without a national stock number (NSN) including Navy item control number (NICN) and commercial and government entity (CAGE)/part number — Material turned in with an extended money value of $20 or less due to the cost of (DLRs) in not-ready-for-issue (NRFI) condition. processing such credits Figure 3-12.—DD Form 1348-1, MTIS turn-in. 3-17
