Posted on the NSIPS splash page https://www.nsips.navy.mil/ 3. Ops Alert 003-20 EAW Erroneous Routing for Cycle 247 and Cycle 106 Numerous EAWs in the “Pending ESO Review/Correction” and “Draft” worksheet status were erroneously routed to the Command ESO user role. EAWs routed to the EAW ESO user role for final verification and EAWs that were in the draft status were mistakenly routed to the Command ESO user role. Command ESOs should reroute the EAWs for final verification back to the EAW ESO user role. If the EAW was routed to the Command ESO from the draft status, process the EAW as you would normally. Command ESOs must verify their “Pending My Review” and either reroute for final verification or process accordingly. 4. Ops Alert 002-20 Travel Advance and Advance Per Diem To assist NPPSC is processing Travel Advance and Advance Per Diem Requests in a timely manner, CPPAs must submit Travel Advance requests completely and accurately. Below is a list of the most common errors that result in TOPS submissions being rejected, thus causing a delay in the timely processing of Travel Advance Requests: Using the wrong Travel Advance Request form; Missing Orders or not submitting the full set of Orders; Missing Certificate of Non-Availability when Government Lodging not available; No lodging Reservation provided when requesting TDY Per Diem; Missing SATO endorsement when requesting Rental Car; Missing Signatures on NPPSC 1300/1 or DD Form 2278 (DITY). It is mandatory to submit only one attachment to each TOPS request. This will help to ensure the TOPS requests are processed expeditiously. Travel advance requests should be submitted up to 60 days prior to transfer date, but no later than 30 days. This will ensure members are paid prior to detaching.
