Wide Area Workflow Training (WAWF)

The Department of Defense requires all commercial invoices to be submitted via Wide Area Workflow or another approved electronic system.

Otherwise, your invoices will be returned UNPAID!

Electronic Invoicing Mandate

The Defense Department has been mandated by section 1008 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2001, public law 106-398 to require contractors to submit invoices electronically and the Department of Defense to process the invoices electronically. This mandate only provides three options to submit payments electronically:

Wide Area Workflow–WAWF (free web-based system)
Web Invoicing System–WinS (in the plan to be phased out)
Electronic Data Interchange – EDI (large out-of-pocket expense)

Contract Clauses That Includes Electronic Submission

The two current WAWF clauses are:

• 252.232-7003 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests–contractor shall submit payment requests using electronic forms.
• 252.246-7000 Material Inspection and Receiving Report–contractor using the WAWF fulfill the requirement for a material inspection and receiving report (DD Form 250).
