The primary function of the DCAA Approver is to approve a non-final Cost Voucher for provisional payment.

The Cost Voucher Approver uses WAWF to:

1. Can open "In Process" vouchers and complete the entire review, approval, rejection, and cost adjustment process
2. Can modify the entries made by the Cost Voucher Reviewer
3. Can sign or reject a document
4. Recall Cost Vouchers you have approved (if the next workflow user has not taken action), make changes, and resubmit them
5. Correct a Cost Voucher that has been made available to you by the Pay Official
6. When the Approver submits the voucher, the status will be "Approved" or "Rejected" depending upon the action taken.
7. Note: If rejected, the Cost Voucher will reject back to the Vendor.

The primary function of the DCAA Approver is to approve a non-final Cost Voucher for provisional payment. The Cost Voucher Approver role is a part of the workflow for Cost Voucher documents in WAWF. Cost Voucher Approvers digitally sign the WAWF documents after approval. Cost Voucher Approvers may reject the document back to the Vendor.

The graphic provides a depiction of the general WAWF functionality. It portrays different ways Vendors interact with WAWF via Web, FTP, or EDI (all EDI transactions are done through GEX - Global Exchange Services). It also shows how government officials including Inspector, Acceptor, Reviewer, Approver, LPO Reviewer, LPO, and Pay Official interact with WAWF. In addition, it shows the interactions between WAWF and SAM, DAASC, EDA, Accounting Systems, Logistic Systems, UID Registry, Property System, and the Entitlement Systems.
