Invoicing Instructions - Mandatory:
In accordance with DFARS clause 252.232-7003, invoices under this contract/order are to be submitted electronically. This office, and the Department of Defense, have determined that Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) at https://wawf.eb.mil is the preferred electronic method to be used. However, if your available computer hardware or computer configuration is incompatible with WAWF, the Web Invoicing System (WinS) at https://ecweb.dfas.mil may be used or any other mutually agreed to electronic method may be used in accordance with paragraph (c) of the clause.
Vendors must register in the WAWF system at https://wawf.eb.mil. If you have questions during the registration process, you can call the WAWF help desk at (866) 618-5988.
The WAWF system provides for submission of invoices in several different forms. It is recommended that an Invoice and Receiving Report (Combo) be used when the contract/order is for supplies and an Invoice as 2-in-1 (Services Only) be used when the contract/order is for services. Using these types of WAWF documents automatically generates an e-mail notification to the receiver that their acceptance is required for the document to be processed for payment.
Due to the fact that our office processes contracts/orders for various receivers from other agencies, we cannot at this time guarantee that the Deliver To code in block 15 of the Standard Form 1449 is registered and active in WAWF. If the code is not active in the WAWF system, you will be unable to use either the Invoice and Receiving Report (Combo) or the Invoice as 2-in-1 (Services Only) option in WAWF. In this case, you will need to enter your invoice using the Invoice option. This will generate a stand-alone invoice not associated with a receiving report. The receiving office will then be required to separately submit their receiving report to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service for processing.
Use of the WAWF electronic invoicing system can decrease the time required to process an invoice. It also allows for tracking invoices and acceptance on-line without further correspondence.
