The source of supply may request verification of requisitions that show quantities that exceed normal demands or quantities that appear to be excessive or in error before taking positive supply action. When the source of supply determines that the requisitioned quantity needs to be verified, the source of supply will generate a DLMS 517M, Materiel Obligation Validation, to request verification of the quantity. The source of supply must indicate a response due date in the quantity verification inquiry, normally 30 calendar days for U.S. Forces and 75 calendar days for SA customers. The organization verifying the requisitioned quantity will send a response to the source of supply by the response due date indicated in the quantity verification inquiry; otherwise, the source of supply will automatically cancel the requisition with Status Code D3. The quantity in the response must be the actual quantity required. If the quantity is less than the original requisitioned quantity, the difference will be canceled with Status Code BQ. If the quantity field contains zero, the entire requisition will be canceled with Status Code BQ. Quantity increases are not authorized.” IC Description DIC MILSTRIP Explanation 517MVerification of Excessive Quantity Requisition AQRDIC AQR not approved for implementation in MILSTRIP, DOD 4000.25-1-M.
