99--Wide Area WorkFlow - Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA)

Dear Valued Contractor: U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) is excited to announce that we are able to offer you the opportunity to join us in the deployment of Wide Area Work Flow Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA). WAWF-RA is designed to automate Commercial Invoices and Government Receiving Reports in a web based, paperless environment. WAWF-RA electronically captures and coordinates the four basic pieces of the payment process. WAWA-RA users input invoices and receiving reports via the Internet and are compared to contracts stored in the Defense Finance Accounting System (DFAS) - Electronic Document Access (EDA) system. Once the invoice and receiving reports are approved and processed, payment transactions are initiated via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) to the contractor's bank account. Some AMC activities have already started, but as of 30 November 2006, the rest of AMC will use WAWF as an option for receipt and acceptance of goods and services procured by contracts that contain DFARS clause 252.246.7000. As we implement the government side of this system, we are strongly encouraging you to begin using the WAWF as well. This will lead to the eventual elimination of the paper flow of documents associated with the receipt and acceptance business practice. For further guidance and instructions contact either the Contracting Officer or if assigned the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) that services your contract with AMC. A complete listing of AMC Contracting Offices is available at http://www2.fbo.gov/spg/USA/USAMC/index.html. In addition Training is available on-line at http://wawftraining.com/. The Point of Contact for this action is Mr. Richard A. Smith, 703.806.8133.
