Wins and Electronic Invoicing
There is a proposed change to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) that will require contractors/vendors to submit invoices electronically. Some of the acceptable methods/techniques are not yet finalized but one of the acceptable techniques for electronic processing of invoices/payment requests is the use of WinS, a program recommended by DFAS. This method can only be used for invoices that are to be submitted directly to DFAS for payment, i.e. invoices are not submitted to the receiving activity for certification and then forwarded to DFAS. Instructions to start using WinS is available at https://ecweb.dfas.mil/. Vendors are encouraged to make use of this new tool and be ready for the change when it is put into effect.
Proposed Rule:
Electronic Submission and Processing of Payment Requests (DFARS Case 2002-D001)
This rule proposes to add requirements for contractors to submit requests for payment in electronic form, and for DoD to process requests for payment and supporting documentation in electronic form. The rule implements 10 U.S.C. 2227, which requires electronic submission and processing of requests for payment under all DoD contracts by October 1, 2002, unless an exception applies.
See the Federal Register notice and
line-in/line-out.
