The resources listed are adequate tools to help prepare you to use WAWF. What is WAWF? WAWF is a convenient online solution that allows vendors to electronically submit invoices and receiving reports, allows the Government to perform inspection and acceptance of goods and services, and allows DFAS to receive transactions electr onically. With WAWF, your company can: Directly submit invoices and receiving reports real-time via the Internet, File Transfer Protocol, or Direct Electronic Data Interchange. Expedite payment due to the reduction of lost or misplaced documents and quicker document routing. Gain total visibility of document and payment statuses for services rendered on your contract(s). Receive system-generated e-mails advising you of action taken by the government inspection and acceptance officials, to include document rejection. Why use WAWF? In 2001, the government passed a law stating that all vendors doing business with the Department of Defense must use an electronic method for submitting invoices and supporting documentation (Public Law 106-398). In 2003, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) was updated to include DFARS Clause 252.232.7003. This clause requires the use of electronic invoicing tools and has been inserted into many of the contracts you currently hold with the government. How Can You Get Started? To help you start WAWF today, we offer helpful electronic Commerce information, including the WAWF Vendor Getting Started Guide that will walk you through all the steps necessary to help you begin using WAWF, on the DFAS E-comme rce website: http://www.dfas.mil/contractorpay/electroniccommerce/ECToolBox.html Other WAWF Learning Opportunities WAWF Web-Based Training Site. http://www.wawftraining.com.
