Purpose and Scope.

Purpose and Scope. The purpose of this manual is to further implement direction provided in AFPD 23-1 and AFI 23-101. This guidance provides directions for performing predominantly retail materiel management processes associated with determining stock requirements, inventorying, storing materiel, cataloging, ordering, sourcing, receiving, delivering, and return/disposal of materiel for Class IX repair parts and select Class VII major end items as identified and approved by Headquarters AF (HAF). Additionally, guidance for other classes of supply is covered in specific subject areas. These references will be specifically enumerated where applicable.

Description. This manual has the same construct as AFI 23-101 and AFH 23-123. While not all sections within AFI 23-101 have associated procedures enumerated in AFMAN 23-122, those sections where procedures are detailed have the same section titles. In a similar manner, where applicable, sections have the same titles in AFH 23-123. For example, paragraph 5.4, is the same section in AFI 23-101 and AFH 23-123.

Users are encouraged to refer to Attachment 1 for reference information as well as identification of legacy AF supply chain functions with updated terminology.

The Integrated Logistics System-Supply (ILS-S) system is the overarching term used to describe the system(s) used by base retail materiel management operations. In many cases the term ILS-S is used to identify system related functions/references. Where applicable, in some instances, specific identification of ILS-S is used for more detailed identification. Definitions of data elements used throughout this manual for preparing and processing changes to essential data on item, detail, and support records are located in AFH 23-123 and ILS-S User's Manual.
