To constitute a proper invoice, the GovPay payment request must conform to the requirements identified in FAR 32.905(b), "Payment Documentation and Process" and FAR 52.232-25, "Prompt Payment (OCT 2008)". To ensure the timely processing of invoices GovPay uses an automated "workflow" process to route invoices for review, approvals and payment; as required by the "Prompt Payment Act". Detailed GovPay information for use of GovPay may be obtained on the Internet at www.govpay.gov. This web site includes user manuals, training resources, instructions for registration and contact information for the GovPay help desk for additional support. All users can access reports on the status of their invoices. Supporting documentation shall be attached to the GovPay invoice in the form of "flat files" in American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) and an Adobe PDF file. There is a 15MB limitation on file size for these attachments, per header or line item. Facsimile, e-mail, and scanned documents are NOT acceptable electronic forms for payment requests. GovPay uses the contractor information in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database as one of the components for validating contractor registration. It is the responsibility of the contractor to submit accurate and current CCR information. Failure to register and maintain CCR information, or if it has expired, been suspended, been deleted, or could not be found, will result in rejection of your invoice. An invoice submitted during the period for which information in the CCR could not be verified must be resubmitted for payment after successfully registering or updating registration in CCR. Contractors are encouraged to review their CCR information to ensure the most current information is available for GovPay. The CCR Assistance Center is available to provide assistance and answer questions. They can be reached at 1-888-227-2423 or on the web at http://www.ccr.gov.
