  WIDE AREA WORK FLOW (WAWF)
  8-15. WAWF is a secure web-based system for electronic invoicing, receipt and acceptance. WAWF
  allows access to other systems that contain the three documents required to pay a vendor—the contract, the
  invoice and the receiving report. The WAWF application enables users to submit electronically documents
  related and required to pay vendors, government inspections, and the acceptance of documents to support
  the Defense Department’s goal of moving to a paperless acquisition process. It provides the technology for
  government contractors and authorized DOD personnel to generate, capture and process receipt and
  payment-related documentation, via interactive web-based applications. Authorized DOD users are notified
  of pending actions by e-mail and are presented with a collection of documents required to process
  contracting or financial actions. WAWF helps to mitigate interest penalty payments due to lost or
  misplaced documents and highlights vendor offered discounts, in addition to streamlining the process from
  weeks to days or minutes.
  LOGISTICS SOFTWARE
  8-16. The Army continues to modernize every aspect of its operations. Many systems now are deployed to
  interact with financial management systems to help the mission be more cost responsible.
  THE STANDARD ARMY RETAIL SUPPLY SYSTEM (SARSS)
  8-17. SARSS is a combat service peacetime and wartime logistics system that enables standard stock
  supply procurement. FCM facilitates supply management by converting SARSS transactions into financial
  data that is formatted for proper financial recognition. This allows financial transactions to be routed to the
  FMIS regardless of the SARSS-1 system the supply order was initiated in; thus, the customer order
  (financial transaction) will pass through FCM to GFEBS. GCSS-Army is in the process of a deployment
  intended to subsume SARSS functionality by FY 2015.
  GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM-ARMY (GCSS-ARMY)
  8-18. GCSS-Army is a logistics and financial system that is tightly integrated with GFEBS. GCSS-Army
  provides a logistics sustainment and support system for both tactical and installation operations. GCSS-
  Army utilizes a web-based, ERP solution to provide access to and the exchange of operational data related
  to maintenance, materiel management, property accountability, standard stock supply procurement and the
  associated financial execution information. GCSS-A is transforming Army logistics processes by
  integrating/subsuming nine legacy logistics systems and various sustainment functions into a single
  repository to receive, store, issue, maintain, and account for materiel.
  8-19. While GCSS-Army and GFEBS are two separate systems, the two systems are fully integrated; and
  together, GCSS-Army and GFEBS revolutionize mission command by providing staffs and commanders
  with reliable data in real time on the status of funds and the disposition of supplies and equipment. GCSS-
  Army and GFEBS integrate key capabilities such as centralized funds distribution and retraction,
  consolidated status of funds and trial balance reporting, centralized reimbursable execution, and
  comprehensive managerial cost accounting and reporting.
  SUSTAINMENT SYSTEM MISSION COMMAND (S2MC)
  8-20. Sustainment System Mission Command (S2MC) is the primary component within the Mission
  Command Collapse framework that provides near-real-time tracking and status of military and commercial
  assets at sea, in the air and on the ground, conveying significant military cargo. As part of the Mission
  Command Collapse Strategy, S2MC merges and migrates existing critical logistics/sustainment capabilities
  from Battle Command Support and Sustainment System (BCS3) and Battle Command Sustainment Support
  System-Node Management (BCS3-NM) onto the collaborative environment of the mission command
  workstation, including logistics reporting, commander's dashboard, in-transit visibility and asset visibility.
  In addition, S2MC is leveraging the flexibility of Mission Command Web to expand user access to an
  enhanced set of S2MC capabilities.
