This guide covers key IPPS-A check on learning questions based on 2025/2026 training, focusing on workflow, delegation, and HR transactions to assist in passing proficiency assessments. Key areas include understanding Job Data, using the Correct History button, and managing delegations as proxies. [1, 2, 3, 4]
IPPS-A System and Workflow [1]
- Proxy: The member accepting delegation of approval authority.
- Data Entry: Entering Empl ID and clicking another field auto-populates the member's name and DoD ID.
- Editing Records: Use the "Correct History" button to move from display to change mode and to edit MGIB elections.
- Delegation: Allows automatic rerouting of workflow items to a chosen member.
- Benefits: View current enrollments in the Benefit Enrollment Summary tab. [1, 2]
Personnel and Records Management
- Experience: Located under the Experience tab in the Member's Person Profile.
- Awards: Recommendation must be "Processed" to be Revoked/Amended; use "Check Eligibility" for requirements.
- Records: Max print capacity is 50 profiles, and DD Form 93 generates as a PDF. [1, 2]
Position Management and Assignments
- Assignments: Requires a "Projected Begin Date", which sets the workflow to "Initiated".
- Deletion: The Delete icon works only on "Draft" status assignments.
- Job Data: Organized by effective date, with the most recent data as row one. [1, 2]
Key Concepts and Troubleshooting

- Exam Tips: Need 70% to pass (35/50 questions), 90-minute limit, and understand "Home" vs "Host" records.
