NAVAL AVIATION LOGISTICS COMMAND MANAGEMENT  INFORMATION  SYSTEM The  Naval  Aviation  Logistics  Command  Manage- ment  Information  System  (NALCOMIS)  has  been implemented in most of the naval aviation maintenance activities.  The  system  has  automated  the  policies  and procedures  of  the  Naval  Aviation  Maintenance  Program (NAMP). The hardware used in NALCOMIS terminals consists  basically  of  a  keyboard  and  a  display  screen. Other  terminals  may  also  include  printers  to  produce hardcopy  notices,  reports,  or  documents.  ‘These  hard- ware  provide  an  easy  method  for  entering,  retrieving, and displaying information needed to support aviation maintenance. The AKs must become familiar and learn to  use  the  computer  terminals  to  perform  their  tasks. This  chapter  discusses  information  that  will  help  you expand  your  knowledge  about  NALCOMIS. The user can access the NALCOMIS by using the menu  screen  or  bypass  the  menu  by  entering  the conversation code in the proper field. The computer screen contains various information regarding the task being performed. Some  of  the  information  on  the screen are the conversation code, the screen identifica- tion  number,  the  screen  title,  and  the  calendar/Julian date. The error messages are also displayed if a field is entered incorrectly or a mandatory entry is left blank. When the user enters H or HELP in the action code field,  NALCOMIS  displays  information  about  the screen being used. The hardware status messages display messages such as PRINTER BUSY FAULT, which can be cleared from the screen by depressing the clear reset key. Refer to the NALCOMIS user’s manual for more information about the system’s operation. ACRONYMS Various  acronyms  are  used  in  all  NALCOMIS operations.  Knowing  these  acronyms  will  help  you become efficient in performing your tasks. The list of acronyms is contained in appendix A of NALCOMIS Data  Requirements  Documents,   RD-001B.  Some  of the acronyms are as follows: ACBAL  –   Accountable   balance ADP – Automated data processing ALT –  Alternate A/T –  Action  taken ATC –  Allowance  type  code ATR –  Automated  transaction  report AV-3M –  Aviation  Maintenance  and  Material  Man- agement AWDUE AWP BCM BUNO CAGE CANCL CDA COMPL CXCMP DDSN DI DIFM DRP ER FAQ FGC FRC INPRO ISSER ISSIP JCN JCRFI LSC MCN NIIN OFFAR OFISS OFFMP OFFTR OFROB OFVAL O/H OMA – Awaiting due – Awaiting parts – Beyond capability of maintenance – Bureau Number –  Commercial  and  government  entity code – Total quantity canceled – Central Design Agency –   Completed –  Partial  quantity  received  and  remain- ing  outstanding  quantity  is  canceled –  Document  date  and  serial  number –  Document  identifier –Due-in  from  maintenance – Designated repair point – Expeditious repair (EXREP) – Fixed allowance quantity –  Family  group  code – Family relationship code –  In  process – Issue in process for serial number con- trolled  item – Issue in process – Job control number – Job complete, ready for issue – Local status code – Maintenance Action Form (MAF) con- trol  number –  National  item  identification  number –  Offline  for  alternate  NIIN  review – Offline for issue in process – Offline for manual processing – Offline for technical research – Offline for receipt on board – Offline for validation – On hand (pertaining to quantity) –  Organizational  maintenance  activity 7-2
