S1NET Message Summary - 27 Dec 22

1. TAG SENDS: IPPS-A GO-LIVE IS HERE. From BG Gregory S. Johnson, The Adjutant General of the Army:  Some key items in this TAG Sends as follows. View the entire message at the following link on S1NET.  https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1217170

     a. HR Professionals (and any user with a subcat role, to include those with the Commander’s bundle) have access as of 0900 EST on 20 December 2022. On 3 January 2023, Leaders and Managers will have access to process, route or approve actions. And on 9 January 2023, all service members will have self-service access.  Focus early on your priority of work items that need to be completed to ensure Soldiers get promoted as we begin to quickly regain accountability within the system.

     b. DA Selection Boards: Please be advised that due to the Army’s transition to IPPS-A several legacy HR systems can no longer be updated.  As a precaution the Army archived Record Briefs of all Soldiers who would meet a centralized selection boards prior to April 2023.  Record Briefs are not source documents, but we know they are used as a summary of information for selection boards. Soldiers that will be considered by a centralized board should view and certify their board files as laid out by the related MILPER.  If significant discrepancies exist between one’s file and their Record Brief, they can submit a letter to the board highlighting those concerns. 

     c. Officer Promotions. The HRC Officer Promotions team will begin working backdated orders and future January Promotions at Go-Live! Any updates to Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions (SFPAs) must be completed in IPPS-A no later than 29 December 2022, 1159 EST. The IPPS-A Priority of work checklist requires this task is completed as a “day 1 task” at Go-Live. An order is not generated in IPPS-A until the effective date of promotion if all eligibility is met. Therefore, Officer Promotions list will continue to be posted on the milSuite site (S1NET) to provide units visibility of projected promotions. Units can use the projected list to plan for the execution of ceremonies assuming all other eligibility is met.

     d. Enlisted Promotions. The HRC Enlisted Promotions team will begin working backdated orders and future January Promotions at Go-Live! Any updates to Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions (SFPAs) must be completed in IPPS-A no later than 29 December 2022, 1159 EST. The IPPS-A Priority of work checklist requires this task is completed as a “day 1 task” at Go-Live. Succuss is important in preventing any erroneous promotions. IPPS-A changes the way Soldiers receive their promotion order. An order is not generated in IPPS-A until the effective date of promotion if all eligibility is met. Therefore, Enlisted Promotions will continue to be posted on the HRC Enlisted Promotions site to provide units visibility of projected promotions. Units can use the projected list to plan for the execution of ceremonies assuming all other eligibility requirements are met.

     e. AMHRR/iPERMS. Servicemembers must log into iPERMS with a DoD certificate/CAC using the EAMS-A login option to successfully initiate, view and or complete Record Reviews. The DS LOGON option cannot be utilized to initiate or complete Record Review tasks. Effective 16 December 2022, SRB upload is no longer required to initiate a Personnel Record Review (PRR) in iPERMS.

     f. Casualty Operations. CACs will refer to the Soldier Talent Profile (STP) and Person Profile within IPPS-A for Soldier data information. The Soldier Talent Profile and Person Profile will replace the SRB/ORB/ERB.  Please see attached (at above link) IPPS-A R3 CAC Cheat sheet.

     g. TRANSPROC Outage. The Transition Processing (TRANSPROC) system will be unavailable from 2100hrs EST, 23 December 2022 to 1630hrs EST, 9 January 2023 to perform deployment of the Installation Support Module (ISM) release for the new IPPS-A R3 interface. This will delay the production of DD214, DD215, and office computations until after 9 January.

2. OFFICER PROMOTION ITEMS.

     a. AC OFFICER PROMOTIONS, JAN 23. This list is for use to plan for Promotion Ceremonies. If eligibility is not met on the effective date, an order will not be produced in IPPS-A. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1217163  

     b. USAR AGR AND NON-AGR OFFICER PROMOTION LIST, JANUARY 2023. This list is for use to plan for Promotion Ceremonies. If eligibility is not met on the effective date, an order will not be produced in IPPS-A. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1217164

3. IPPS-A GO-LIVE UPDATES. From COL Rebecca Eggers, IPPS-A FMD (on 23 Dec 22):  Some key points in this update follow.  See the complete update at the following link on S1NET.  https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1217205

     a. The focus for each of you should be on the priority of work tasks (attached). Those are the items that ensure we gain accountability quickly and also ensure the automatic promotions process captures Soldiers accurately at the end of the month.

     b. Please continue to reach out if you do not have the access you believe you should have. Do your best to submit new access requests with the entirety of access and ROWSECCLASS you require. Any added SUBCAT or access requires an additional request and only further adds to the current actions that need to be processed.

     c. If access requests are not showing up in your dashboard, please use the lookup tool to find the ones for your unit. Remember – if an access request was submitted before your validator access was approved, you will not be able to approve those requests.

     d. If you are processing junior enlisted boards and promotions, be sure to include the PROMO DECENTRALIZED role under HR PROFESSIONAL.

     e. When clicking the tiles, or submit buttons, please let the action process. Continuing to click tiles and buttons multiple times also cues more actions to process in the back end of the system. We will be adding some enhancements that will keep users from doing this moving forward, but for now, please refrain from hitting submit multiple times.

     f. Arrivals/Departures – remember that in order to arrive someone, they must be departed from their previous unit. We have noticed an issue with processing an arrival for a person that reported early during the brownout since there is no absence request in the system. Expect a follow up shortly for this issue.

     g. Don’t forget that the Promotion Consideration Roster must be signed by your Commander prior to the 29th of Dec in order to be captured in the end of month promotions job.

     h. Promotion Point Worksheets - Some Soldiers serve in organizations that prevent the ability of Soldiers to meet the weapons qualification timelines. These members must have their unit training manager complete an Army Training Management System (ATMS) entry with the same number of hits as the expiring points to allow crediting of promotions points for the duration of the assignment.
