What is the purpose of Advice Codes in the Navy 3-M system?

The purpose of Advice Codes in the Navy 3-M system is to provide additional instructions for requisitions. These codes serve as essential guidance for personnel involved in the supply chain process, ensuring that accountability and clarity are maintained when it comes to ordering repair parts and equipment. Advice Codes specify details such as how to handle the requisition, any specific actions the receiving personnel need to take, and any special circumstances that need to be considered. This functionality plays a vital role in streamlining the procurement process, minimizing errors, and ensuring that the right parts are delivered to the right place in a timely manner, ultimately supporting operational readiness.
