WAWF - Pay Official Role
 

The primary function of the Payer within WAWF is to document government payment for goods and/or services delivered to the government in accordance with a contract.


The Grant Approver uses WAWF to:

  1. Review, accept, process, reject, or suspend documents
  2. Place documents on hold
  3. View documents and check their status
  4. Recall documents you have taken action on, make changes, and then resubmit them
  5. Recall documents that have been rejected by the payment system, and resubmit
  6. Make documents available for recall to the previous Government user that had taken action on it

NOTE: In many cases, document information flows to a payment system via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) before the documents reach the Payer. In these cases, the documents are not worked on by the Payer within WAWF.


The Pay Official (Payer) role is mandatory on all receipts and acceptance documents in WAWF. The Pay Official can review and process Receiving Reports Acceptors. Accept (or reject) and process Invoices. View / add comments and attachments. Place Receiving Reports and Invoices on hold. Suspend Receiving Reports and Invoices if the payment system issues an EDI 824 suspension.


NOTE: When you "review" or "accept" a document, you are indicating the document is a valid invoice or receiving report. When you "process" a document, you are indicating that you have entered it into the appropriate electronic payment system for payment.

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.
