SNAP II Software
The function of the SNAP II system is to provide
automated administrative support to fleet ships through
the following SNAP II applications software/files:
Supply Interim Release (SIR/Supply and
Financial Management (SFM) Subsystem
System Management Subsystem (SMS)
Maintenance Data Subsystem (MIX)
Administrative Data Management (ADM)
Subsystem
The SIR/SFM provides the primary SNAP 11
software/files that supports both the Navy Afloat
Supply System and Supply Organization. System
management and system service tasks, in support of
other functional (i.e., SIR/SFM) subsystems, are
performed by the SMS software/files.
SNAP II Automated Data
Processing Equipment
The Automated Data Processing Equipment
(ADPE) that provides the mechanical means to operate
the SNAP II system consists of the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
AN/UYK-62(V) (H-300) computer
Mass Storage Subsystem
Communications Subsystem
Printer Subsystem
Input/Output Subsystem
OPERATION
As a nontechnical administrative/management
supply system, SNAP II manning is not concerned with
manning of watch stations at various conditions of
readiness. The operators of SNAP II remote terminals
are not computer experts. Operators are “customers” of
the services the computer system provides (e.g., supply
and fiscal data). The only skills required beyond those
needed in their rating (e.g., Storekeeper Second (SK2))
are the skills necessary to gain a periodic access to the
system, query the system for data, and to terminate their
access. Since the data to be handled by the terminals
are rating related, the SK user should receive onboard
training on supply department SNAP II operations.
FINANCIAL RECORDS AND REPORTS
The accounting performed on automated ships
differs in some aspects from that on nonautomated
ships. This difference is primarily in recording OPTAR
charges and depends on whether the automated ship is
a nonstock-funded or stock-funded ship.
STOCK-FUNDED SHIP
Stock-funded ships include tenders and repair ships
(class 207 accounting) and fleet-issue ships (class 224
accounting). On these ships, the inventory is carried in
the Navy Stock Account (NSA) and has not been
charged to the ships’ OPTAR. The requirements for
class 207 and class 224 accounting are not covered in
this text except as they pertain to OPTAR accounting
and inventory control.
Stock replenishment requisitions are not charged to
the OPTAR but are accounted for as transfers between
supply officers within the Navy Stock Account.
The same OPTAR and budget records discussed
before are maintained. However, they are posted from
the data accumulated on the FMF mentioned earlier in
the chapter. Issue requests submitted on DD Form 1348
result in either an issue or a DTO requisition. As the
DD Forms 1348 are processed, the financial data,
representing expenditures or obligations as appropriate,
are transferred to the FMF. The Departmental Budget
Report which lists the totals of expenditures and
obligations by departments and a grand total of all
expenditures and obligations is prepared from this tape.
The total of all expenditures is posted to the
Departmental Budget Report and the balance of the
OPTAR is reduced. The expenditures and obligations
are posted separately to the Divisional Budget Report.
When DTO material is received, the obligation is
converted to an expenditure and is listed on the next
posting report.
The machine room again makes use of the FMF to
prepare machine listings to support the monthly NSA
stores returns. This includes preparation of necessary
summaries. You are, in effect summarizing your own
ship for all NSA material consumed for the month as
well as summarizing transfers to other ships.
The listings (with cards) that were discussed earlier
are received from Defense Finance Accounting System
(DFAS). They are:
Unmatched expenditure listing (monthly)
Aged unfilled order listing (quarterly)
Filled order/expenditure/difference listing
(monthly)
The listings must be reviewed and any corrections
annotated thereon and returned to DFAS.
