As a component of the ASD international specification series, ASD S2000M describes the regulations for the integrated data processing of material data for military projects. This includes, among other things, the established conventions for:

• creating spare parts master lists and

procurement data,

• exchanging data between the parties involved in the process.

Chapters 1A and 1B are applied regarding public procurement. The sections on procurement planning, order processing, invoice processing, maintenance processing and the "light version" are currently not applicable for domestic projects.

When developing material documentation, we work according to the procedures in versions 2.1 through 4.0 of the ASD S2000M. We are familiar with the B007 and AW 43 regulations for processing existing legacy data. We consider the following to be integral elements in this regard:

• creating guidance documents (GD),
• concluding data exchange agreements (DEA) with the departments of the contracting authority (LogKodo Bw and BAAINBw),
• attending the corresponding procedural conferences,
• and implementing procedures related to data check runs and processing their results in the form of test returns.

We at eko•ILS Logistics GmbH use software solutions specifically tailored to conduct basic data collection tasks.

"MATCONF" allows us to work on the same DP level as Germany’s Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support’s, or BAAINBw’s, subdivisions, thus avoiding any potential data and format related conflicts. We also use another editorial system in the S2000M domain in order to exchange data with our customers and to perform data imports and exports.

We also have our own software solutions for editing B007 data and asset sheets according to AW 43, as well as a tool for converting B007 data to S2000M.
