The receiving unit of parts pooling must acknowledge receipt of the material via what?

• A. AMMIS
• B. DD Form 1149
• C. Email
• D. Phone Call

Answer: (A)

The receiving unit must acknowledge receipt through AMMIS because the pooling process relies on the automated materials management system as the official record of what has been received. AMMIS provides a real-time, auditable entry that captures key details such as part number, quantity, lot/serial, condition, and the date/time of receipt, and it updates the pool inventory accordingly. This electronic acknowledgment ensures accurate visibility for future distribution, replacements, or reconciliations and creates a traceable trail for audits.

Using informal methods like email or a phone call doesn’t create a persistent, auditable record, and while DD Form 1149 documents shipments, it isn’t the system-of-record used to log and track pool receipts.
