The first time MMS is operated it includes an administrator user profile. Please refer to the Security Users Manual for security setup and explanation of security levels.

The Site ID is a 2 digit identifier of your site.  The Site RTE ID is a routing ID of up to 3 digits that must be included if processing Government Owned Material (GOM).  The Req UIC will be the default UIC and will be the start of all requisition numbers unless otherwise inputted.  The Mat'l Loc UIC will be the issue address on 1348-1A documents.  This will be matched with the corresponding UIC and address entered later in the UIC address file.  When complete the Configuration screen can be closed and the full menu bar will be available for use.

The 1348-1A document prints the NIIN and various other information in the barcode format.  For a user to have these print correctly, the 3 of 9 Barcode (TrueType) font needs to be added to the font library.  This font is installed with the full installation of MMS and stored in the MMS WIN root directory.  To install the font on you work station from the START button, select the 'Settings' menu and then the control panel.

The new font will now appear in the font folder.   The user can also drag and drop the 3of9new.tif file to the fonts directory located under there operating system directory.  The system will automatically install the font.
