Supply status codes identify the action taken or being taken associated with a particular transaction and may be informational or require additional action. Advice codes indicate how, and under what restrictions, an item will be required. Document identifier codes (DIC) identify the transaction intended, the purpose and usage. Signal codes designate the Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC) the unit that is responsible to receive the shipment (ship to), as well as the unit that is responsible for payment of bills (bill to).

This is not an all-encompassing list of DCAM codes. The entire list of DCAM codes are in the DLA Customer Handbook. Request a copy from the SSA customer support section.
