Which Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS) transaction must be made to transfer ownership?

The correct transaction for transferring ownership within the Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS) system is characterized by the action of "Gain." This transaction is specifically used to document when an entity or unit receives ownership of medical assets or supplies. When ownership is transferred, the gaining entity needs to record this transaction in order to accurately reflect the change in responsibility and status of the inventory.

In contrast, a "Loss" transaction would pertain to the removal of items from inventory, whereas a "Transfer" transaction might imply an administrative action to move items between locations without changing ownership. "Accountability," on the other hand, refers to the need for proper tracking and documentation of assets but does not directly indicate the action of changing ownership. Thus, "Gain" is the focused transaction required for officially recognizing the new ownership of medical logistics assets.
