(NEW LOOK) Replacing or Updating an Imported Property Book

This guide explains how to replace or update a property book that was previously imported into the system

Updated: July 2025

You can update a previously imported property book when a newer version is available or corrections need to be made, without starting from scratch. This helps keep your records accurate and up to date.

To replace or update a previously imported property book:

From the home page, tap on Equipment in the bottom navigation menu. This is where all Hand Receipts are stored.

Locate the Primary/Sub Hand Receipt You Want to Update

Tap the Three-Dot Menu (⋮)
Next to the property book, tap the vertical three-dot menu and select Import updated hand receipt or comm memo. This will open a prompt to upload a new file.

Upload the Updated File

Choose the updated Hand Receipt file from your device.

Note: If you're unable to upload your selected hand receipt, the upload may be blocked by NIPR. Please contact our Support Team, and we can manually upload the hand receipt for you.

Review Changes

If applicable, you may see View changes to review any changes you may want to make such as:

  • Review (choose to discard or keep items)

  • Transfer items (this could mean the item(s) were on someone else's PHR but are now being transferred to you)

  • Remove Items (means one or more items are getting removed)

  • Remove Group (means the entire NSN group is getting removed)

  • Add group (means the NSN group is getting added)

  • Update group (means the NSN group is getting updated)

You can click on the dropdown of a LIN (Line Item Number) to see each Unique Item's Details such as who currently owns it, if it's part of another hand receipt, what NSN it's a part of, Serial Number, Notes, and more.

REMINDER: Items with a serial number retain associated data. Items without a serial number permanently lose all associated images, notes, and tags when transferred. Private notes remain private when transferred. Tag visibility depends on permissions and only if items remain in the same command.

If an item is deleted, the data will also be permanently deleted.

Confirm Import

Click Done to finalize the import process.

See Last Modified

Displays the date and time the file or document was last updated, helping you verify the most recent changes and ensure you're viewing the latest version.

Things to Keep in Mind:

  • When uploading the initial Primary/Sub Hand Receipt, name the file using the name of the Unit or Title, not the month it was created, since the file can be updated regularly.

  • You can make your own non-official hand receipt.

  • Make sure the PDF you are uploading is from G-Army or other official source and is in landscape mode (not rotated vertical) before importing it, as incorrect orientation may cause upload or processing errors.
