They provide two important pieces of data during this process. First, we are able to gather remittance data which allows us to route a payment to the proper account and second they identify an electronic business point of contact. The EBPOC is our entry in to the company for much of the communication for EC. They are the ones who control access to the EC tools for the company’s employees and they are who we talk to when we do things like send out announcements for classes such as this one. 2 – Contracts modifications and vouchers are posted to the Electronic Document Access (EDA) repositories and contractual data is fed to the entitlement systems. EDA is accessible by vendors and allows you to view your contracts and modifications on-line in exactly the same manner as the government. WAWF uses index information listed in EDA to route your billing documents from your system to the appropriate DFAS Entitlement System. EDA contract line item information details listed on your contract must be used to build invoice/receiving report line item details in WAWF. EDA contracts may list the type of document to create in WAWF and could provide you with “points of contact” for government Contracting Officers, government Inspectors/Acceptors, and the Payment Office 3 - Next, the vendor is able to submit their invoices and receiving reports electronically through WAWF or invoices only through WINS or EDI direct to the entitlement systems. You will also see that government officials are able to perform acceptance of goods or services on-line through WAWF. WAWF will be the focus of the rest of the briefing today. 4 - You will see the myInvoice system. Using myInvoice, vendors are able to track the status of their transactions in the entitlement system and view their advice of payment information on-line. Vendors may even elect to receive notifications as payment is made. Some companies even download data from myInvoice to populate their own accounts receivable systems. 5 - Finally, you see the vendor receiving payment via electronic funds transfer. Vendor enters invoice and shipment data into WAWF, or transmit via SFTP or EDI Contracts/mods, vouchers are posted to EDA Vendor monitors invoice status and views AOP in myInvoice Government performs acceptance of goods and services in WAWF transmitted to entitlement/accounting systems Integrity - Service - Innovation 2/20/2020

WAWF Overview WAWF is the old "iRAPT" Secure, web-based system utilized for creating, approving, accepting, certifying, and viewing electronic transactions associated with requests for payments and shipping notices Supports DoD goal of moving to paperless acquisition process DFAR clause ( ) mandates WAWF use 2/20/2020 Integrity - Service - Innovation

WAWF Benefits Reduction of Paper-based Support Functions Labor savings realized by eliminating manual entry Reduces mail, file, and copy support functions Global Accessibility Multiple users can access documents globally Streamline processing, reduce re-entry, improve accuracy Eliminates Lost or Misplaced Documents All documents stored in single location with accessibility via web Enables DoD to take Maximum Benefit of Discounts Enables Timely & Accurate Payments Decreases Interest Penalties Accuracy of Documents Reduction of Unmatched Disbursements, duplicate payments, and payment delays Secure and Auditable Transactions PKI utilized for user identification and digital signature Enables Capture of Unique Identifier (UID) and Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) Data Track movement of Government Furnished Property (GFP)/Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) Global Accessibility: Multiple users will be able to globally access documents, which will streamline processing, reduce the need for re-typing, improve accuracy, and provide real time processing and access to document status. Eliminates Lost or Misplaced Documents: All documents are stored in one place, accessible over the Web. A DoD Vendor is able to submit his/her Invoices electronically, and access contract payment records and status. Accuracy of Documents: Current problems such as unmatched disbursements, duplicate payments, and payment delays can be alleviated using WAWF. Secure & Auditable Transactions: Access to appropriate functions and documents will be controlled through the user registration process. In addition, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates will be used to verify user identification, and to digitally sign documents when required. Enables DoD to take Maximum Benefit of Discounts: Government personnel can maximize Vendor-offered discounts because WAWF highlights those documents first. Enables Timely & Accurate Payments: DoD vendors have experienced tremendous benefits by using WAWF. WAWF is capable of taking in EDI X12 files as well as FTP batch files. Vendors able to electronically connect, system-to-system, are seeing a decrease in the time it takes to generate a document and submit to the government for acceptance. What normally took 10 days can now be accomplished in 1 day, if not minutes. Decreases Interest Penalties: Since WAWF decreases processing time by several orders of magnitude, the system will reduce greatly the number of Prompt Payment Act (PPA) violations. Enables Capture of RFID and IUID Data: DoD utilizes WAWF as the single source to capture IUID and RFID data. 2/20/2020 Integrity - Service - Innovation

Why WAWF for Electronic Invoicing?
7/8/2011 Why WAWF for Electronic Invoicing? Contractors must submit invoices electronically. It’s the Law Mandated by Public Law: Section 1008 of National Defense Authorization Act of FY 2001 It’s being enforced! DFAS updated to include requirement for electronic invoicing, effective for contracts issued after Feb 28, 2003. DFARS Clause (DFARS ) Requires electronic invoicing. Requires electronic supporting documentation. Read the slide.

(Gate Keeper) View Only Roles are used by supervisors and administrators Functional Role Selection Once the user has logged in to the application, the Navigation menu provides links to the Active Functional Roles for which the user has registered. After clicking on these links, the user is presented with a list of options that pertain to that functional role. For a Vendor, these links allow him/her to create new documents and view the documents that are in his/her History folder as well as access any rejected documents. For a government users, these links provide him/her with access to the various Work folders. View Only - In addition to the roles outlined above, additional personnel who have a need to view documents can be granted access in a view only mode. Once a document has been captured and processed, it is made available for view only. Access to the documents is limited by the Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Code or the Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC), to which the individual is responsible for monitoring. A single electronic copy of the document to be accessed by any authorized user with Web capability is available. Authorized government personnel are able to view the Contract, Receiving Reports, and Invoices. Vendors will be able to query and view his/her previously submitted documents. 2/20/2020 Integrity - Service - Innovation

How Does It Work? - WAWF Receipt & Acceptance Process
7/8/2011 How Does It Work? - WAWF Receipt & Acceptance Process 4 ways to input 1. Web Input 2. SFTP 3. EDI 4. Mobile Device Vendor Creates/submits invoice and/or receiving report 1. 6. Bank EFT WAWF 2. Govt. Inspector Receives notification of awaiting actions. Accepts or rejects using WAWF 3. Govt. Acceptor Receives notification of awaiting actions. Accepts or rejects using WAWF 4. Local Processing Office Receives notification of awaiting actions. Accepts or rejects using WAWF 5. DFAS Payment Office Receives notification of awaiting actions. Researches any suspended transactions or rejects document to the initiator. WAWF transmits payment actions EDI 810C, 856, & 861 via DEBX to DoD pay systems. via GEX to DoD DoD Pay Systems DFAS entitlement system processes payments that match on invoice, receiving report, and contract. Authorizes transfer of funds via EFT to Vendors bank. 1. The process begins in the upper left corner with the vendor. The vendor is able to create and submit invoices and receiving reports. The vendor can submit data in one of three ways. Vendors may use the web-based entry forms. Or, the vendor may transmit data directly from their own systems using either file secure transfer protocol (SFTP) or electronic data interchange (EDI). May also View status of documents in the History folder. Correct and resubmit rejected documents. Void documents and receive notification of awaiting actions. 2. Once the receiving report is created in the WAWF (if the inspector is in the workflow) the inspector receives notification via that he or she is required to process a transaction in WAWF. Inspection is performed on-line in WAWF. If there is a problem with the data submitted by the vendor, the inspector may reject the transaction back. If the vendor did not submit the receiving report data in a timely manner or did not submit it at all, the inspector may initiate the receiving report, if the contract is NOT administered by DCMA. 3. In the next step, the acceptor receives an notification alerting him/her that acceptance is required. The acceptor can log on to WAWF and perform acceptance. Or, like the inspector, can reject a transaction back or initiate a receiving report. If inspection and acceptance is performed by the same person, this process can be combined in a single step. 4. Local Processing Officer (LPO) (if the LPO is in the work flow) will receive an notification requiring a review of the electronic versions of the contract, invoice and receiving report. The primary function of the LPO within WAWF is to certify documents prior to the documents being forwarded to DFAS. The LPO is not always involved in the process. Generally, this role is used to process Navy transactions. Additionally this is used for Misc.payment processing. 5. The Payment Office the receives notification of awaiting actions and also receives invoices and receiving report data into the entitlement system. The pay office reviews and rejects, with comments, improper invoices to the Vendor for correction and resubmission. The pay office is also responsible for managing transactions that fail to load into the entitlement systems, by either loading data such as contracts, mods, or vendor data into the system, allowing the transaction to reprocess successfully or by rejecting the transaction back to previous roles for correction. The payment office matches valid invoice and receiving report transactions to the contract, performs entitlement and prevalidation and releases a payment to the vendor.
