DA Form 4949: Administrative Adjustment Report (AAR)
DA Form 4949 corrects minor administrative errors in Army property records without a formal accountability action. Supply personnel use it for changes like NSN updates, unit of issue changes, and assembly or disassembly of components.
DA Form 4949, Administrative Adjustment Report (AAR), is the Army supply form used to make administrative corrections to property book and stock records. Typical uses include correcting a national stock number or item description, recording a change in unit of issue, adjusting for assembly or disassembly of a set or system, and similar bookkeeping changes that do not involve actual loss, damage, or gain of property.
Because an AAR only fixes the record, it is not used when property is actually missing or damaged; those situations call for a financial liability investigation or other accountability action. The form is prepared by supply personnel and approved at the level required by current Army supply policy.
Who files DA Form 4949?

Frequently asked questions
When can I use a DA 4949 instead of a FLIPL?
Use an AAR only for administrative record corrections where no property is actually lost, damaged, or destroyed. If property is missing or damaged, a financial liability investigation of property loss (FLIPL) or other accountability action applies instead.
Who approves an Administrative Adjustment Report?
The approval level depends on the type of adjustment and your command's property accountability procedures. Check current Army supply policy and your property book office for the signature required.
