DFARS 232.7003 Procedures.

In plain English

This section tells DoD officials to process electronic payment requests electronically, using the WAWF system, and to handle supporting documents like receiving reports and invoice approvals electronically too. If an exception to electronic submission applies, the contracting officer must work with the payment and contract administration offices to set up an alternative method and spell out invoicing procedures in the contract. It matters because it defines how contractors should expect payment requests and related documents to be submitted and processed.

Applies to: DoD officials and contractors submitting payment requests or receiving reports under DoD contracts

What it requires

• DoD officials receiving electronic payment requests must process them electronically
• Documents necessary for payment, such as receiving reports, invoice approvals, contracts, contract modifications, and required certifications, must also be processed electronically
• If an exception applies, the contracting officer must consult the payment office and contract administration office on the alternative submission method
• If an exception applies, the contracting officer must provide invoicing procedures in the contract administration data section for non-electronic submission
