Because of this chain of events, you (therequisitioner) must supply accurate information toensure prompt results from the requisition.The Management List-Navy (ML-N) and severalrelated publications provide you with information forsubmitting accurate and error-free requisitions. TheFederal Logistics Data(FEDLOG),NAVSUP P-2002,or the Naval Logistics Library available on compactdisk (CD), describes the format and use of thesepublications. The supply department is the primary userof these publications. However, as a division supplypetty officer, you may have an occasional need forinformation contained in them. For that reason, thefollowing short descriptions of these publications isprovided.Management List-Navy (ML-N)The Management List-Navy (ML-N) is the basicpublication relating to national stock number (NSN)management data. It is published in national itemidentification number (NIIN) sequence and includes onlyitems for which Navy interest has been recorded.Although it includes ammunition items, you still mustuse theCatalog of Navy Ammunition Stock, NAVSEAOD 12067/NAVAIR 11-1-116, for ordering andreporting items of ammunition.The ML-N omits subsistence items, such as food.The source for subsistence items is the book edition ofthe Federal Catalog for Subsistence compiled by theDefense Personnel Support Center. The ML-N alsoomits cryptographic, cryptologic, and defense nuclearitems, which are listed in security classified catalogsproduced by the respective DoD agencies.The ML-N is a Navy-tailored publication; therefore,many NSNs may be located in the Master Cross-Reference List (MCRL)that will not be found in the ML-N. If the item being researched is not found in the ML-N(including deleted items) and a continuing requirementexists, the using activity must take the necessary actionto establish Navy interest in procuring that item. Figure7-3 shows the format of the ML-N. Table 7-1 lists thecontents of the ML-N.For definitions and explanations of the variouscodes used in the columns of the ML-N, refer toFEDLOG, NAVSUP P-2002.Master Cross-ReferenceList (MCRL)The Master Cross-Reference List (MCRL), Part I(fig. 7-4),provides a cross-reference from a referencenumber (manufacturer’s part number, drawing number,design control number, etc.) to its assigned NSN. TheMCRL, Part II(fig. 7-5), provides a cross-referencefrom an NSN to a reference number.
