WAWF - Inspector/Field Inspector Roles
 

As an Inspector, you can perform many actions in WAWF. You can:

  1. Inspect documents
  2. Place documents on hold
  3. View documents and check their status
  4. Create Receiving Reports *
  5. Correct and resubmit Receiving Reports you have submitted that have been rejected *
  6. Void Receiving Reports you have submitted (in some cases) *
  7. Recall documents you have submitted or worked on (if they have not been worked on further), make changes and resubmit them.
* These actions apply only to Inspectors who are authorized to create Receiving Reports.

The government inspector is a user who inspects the quality of goods or services on behalf of the government. May be a Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) for the requiring activity. The Inspector role is mandatory on certain documents in WAWF, and optional on other documents. Inspectors digitally sign the WAWF documents after inspection. Inspectors may reject the document back to the Vendor.


 Inspector as part of the WAWF Workflow

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.


WAWF Inspector create document.


The Receiving Report (also called a Stand-Alone Receiving Report or Materially Inspected Receiving Report MIRR) is created in WAWF to submit the same information that would otherwise be submitted in a paper DD250, DD1155 or SF1449.

The Acceptor must submit a Receiving Report within five (5) working days of receipt of any item, unless prohibited to do so by the contract.

The information you need to complete a document in WAWF comes from your contract and your knowledge of the applicable business processes.

If you already complete paper-based documents, you'll find that completing a document in WAWF doesn't require any new or different information.

WAWF routes documents electronically using the location codes so make sure the information is correct according to the latest contract information.

In some cases your contract may require you to complete one or more of the optional location code fields.

The Government Inspector selects the Create Document link from the Inspector dropdown menu to create Receiving Report Documents in the WAWF web application
