How often should the issues be compiled to create the monthly DA Form 3644?

The monthly DA Form 3644 is designed to summarize the issues of fuel and other related transactions for a specific reporting period. Compiling these issues on a weekly basis allows for a more accurate and timely reporting process. This frequency enables fuel handlers and managers to monitor usage trends, inventory levels, and ensure compliance with the necessary regulations more effectively.

By compiling the data weekly, any discrepancies or issues can be identified and addressed promptly, minimizing the risk of running into problems during the routine monthly reporting. If data were collected daily, it could lead to an overwhelming amount of information that might complicate the reporting process rather than simplify it. Conversely, if the data were compiled only monthly, it would hinder the ability to effectively manage fuel resources and respond to any immediate issues that may arise. This underscores the importance of a weekly compilation frequency for maintaining operational efficiency and accountability.
