Captial Asset Management Systems - Military Equipment (CAMS-ME)
Abstract
The Capital Asset Management System-Military Equipment (CAMS-ME) is the enterprise system used by the Department to calculate and report military equipment valuation data in the quarterly and annual financial statements. Major command/claimant level managers and program managers use the data as part of their cost analysis. The CAMS-ME is based on the Systems Application and Program (SAP) Enterprise Resource Program (ERP), which is a commercial off-the-shelf package. CAMS-ME is compatible with the Business Enterprise Architecture and supports the DoD Enterprise Transition Plan. The CAMS-ME Increment 2 Spiral A is operational. Increment 2 Spiral B will provide the obligation-based cost per end item. Increment 3 completes the development process through the implementation of expenditure based valuations. The DoD is implementing acquisition and contracting changes that will provide CAMS-ME with the detailed data essential to meet the federal requirement. The CAMS-ME provides the capability for the DoD to comply with the following regulatory and statutory requirements: • Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 6 and 23; • Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990; • Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996; • Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-127 & A-123; • Government Performance and Result Act of 1993; • President’s Management Agenda, Fiscal Year 2002; and, • Secretary of Defense Memorandum, July 19, 2001 RDT&E funding covers the following application development activities: • Blueprint – Based on the BEA and the Military Equipment Valuation (MEV) functional & operational requirements, a blueprint of the system solution is developed. The requirements are defined to the appropriate level of detail in order to subsequently prepare the design document that serves as the implementation guide for the specific software solution. This blueprint will be used to configure and integrate the CAMS-ME solution. • GUI enhancements – Configuration and integration of the CAMS-ME R/3 modules and database to support contract cost valuation methodology for administrative-level users. • Web Portal – Configuration to create data fields to accept and display registry data elements new to CAMS-ME. The portal will also need to be programmed to support each spiral of increasing capability provided by the registry data (e.g., ultimately, the portal will not need to perform asset status updates as ME Program updates come to CAMS-ME via the IUID registry) • Security configuration – Configuration of the CAMS-ME application security and security roles for the system users. Implement the appropriate application security configuration so that CAMS-ME complies with the DoD IA C&A Process Guidance. • Reports design - Develop CAMS-ME reporting capabilities, which include operational, managerial, and financial reports. Changes to the configuration of the hardware/software environment must occur to accommodate new system interfaces within the development, quality assurance and test environments. Configuration changes are required within the areas of technical infrastructure, SAP Basis, and system/network security. The development of data maps and interfaces to the IUID, APUID, and DUID registries will be part of the application development and the testing cycles. CAMS-ME has reached the sustainment portion of its life cycle and, based on direction from the DBSMC, is to be tranferred to DLA for those operations and maintenance services associated with system sustainment.
