(2) SFDLR. An SFDLR is an item with an MRC of D or L or an item having both a MRC of O, F, or H and an
Automatic Return Code of C, E, R, or S.
b. Processing.
(1) Do not tamper with the item; this would result in the loss of initial failure credit.
(2) Reclassify defective materiel (PQDR exhibit) into a suspended supply condition code.
(3) Tag suspended materiel with DD Form 1575 and DD Form 2332.
(4) The outside of the package shall be clearly marked on one side “PQDR EXHIBIT/Report Control Number
____________.” Mark two other sides of the outside of the package in bold letters “PQDR EXHIBIT.”
(5) Segregate defective materiel from serviceable materiel to prevent issue.
(6) Prepare the PQDR SF 368 and explain completely what happened in block 22. Provide the original requisition
number. If the requisition number is not available, the user/originator must identify the DODAAC and fund code to
which credit is to be granted. No credit can be granted without this documentation.
(7) Contact the local AMC LAO and request that the appropriate MSC logistics assistance representative (LAR)
confirm that an initial failure exists.
(8) The LAR looks up the NSN of the failed item and assures that it is a SFDLR.
(9) The LAR determines if the claim meets the established criteria for initial failures. If the item qualifies as an
initial failure, the LAR annotates the PQDR, in block 22, with the following: INITIAL FAILURE - YES, the LAR’s
signature, telephone number, and date. If the PQDR is submitted online, the LAR may also validate it online.
(10) If the item doesn’t meet the criteria for an initial failure, follow the normal SF 368 process.
(11) After confirming and signing the hardcopy PQDR, the LAR either returns the PQDR to the originator for
submission to the appropriate screening point or submits the PQDR by e-mail to the correct MSC screening point.
