Return to the TOP of the page.

Step 3: Have your Location Codes added to the proper Group Structure.

Your Location Code/s must be added to the proper Group Structure before any personnel can self-register in Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment. If you have multiple Location Codes they can all be added to your group at the same time.

Optional Location Code extensions can be created to subdivide your Location Code into smaller units. Each Location Code and extension will have its own organizational e-mail address. The email addresses will be used to notify your sub-groups that an WAWF document status has changed.

To establish a government group for a Location Code, your Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment POC needs to either call the Customer Support Center phone number or send an email to DISA Ogden. If your organization has multiple Location Codes, the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment Customer Support Center will assist in adding all your Location Codes to your Location Code Group Structure. (see Customer Support link)

Phoned in requests will be activated online. Emailed requests will be processed within 48 hours after receipt.

Step 4: Determine who will function as Group Administrator (GAM)

Services/Agencies can determine who has access to the data in Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment.

Government organizations shall appoint a Group Administrator (GAM) to manage and activate various users in their organization to give them access to the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment data. The GAM may be an individual tasked with security responsibilities or they may be someone else. It is up to the Service/Agency to determine who has this responsibility. GAMs are usually government employees; however contractors acting on behalf of the Government may be appointed as a GAM for the Government.

To appoint a GAM, each Service/Agency must contact their existing GAM with information defining the identity of the designated GAM. Notification must be supported by an official appointment letter signed by the Service /Agency designating this responsibility to the individual(s). A copy of the appointment letter will be submitted electronically to the Ogden Customer Support Center. The initial deployment of a GAM for a new activity will start once the OST receives the GAM letter. Subsequent GAM requests are maintained by the agencies original/primary GAM. If you are unsure of your GAM, utilize the "Group Administrator Lookup" link located under the Help/Training button on the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment homepage. If additional support is needed, please contact the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment Customer Support Center by phone (1-866-618-5988) or email Customer Support.

A sample of an official appointment letter is available on the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment web site. See sample GAM Appointment letter.

The Group Administrator information is available for review to all Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment registered users. The GAM information is available on the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment Training site.

An overview of GAM responsibilities follows:

1. Manage Group Structure.
2. Administer Location Codes.
3. Look up group names and GAM information.
4. View and edit User Profile Information.
5. Activate (add) and deactivate users.
6. Use Activation Reports.
7. Reset user passwords.
8. Reset certificates.

Step 5: Notify appropriate payment office

Notify appropriate DFAS payment office and ensure that the office is registered and trained.

Return to the TOP of the page.

Step 6: Establish an organizational email address

The WAWF application in Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment routes information according to government DoDAACs. WAWF documents themselves do not get routed, but status information about the documents is sent. For example, email notices are sent when a vendor SUBMITS a document. Email notices are sent when the government ACCEPTS or REJECTS a document. The Service/Agency must then decide who has access to this organizational email account and how the Service/Agency email messages will be managed.

Work with your LAN administrator to set up and test the organizational email address.

The GAM or Service/Agency Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment liaison shall provide the organizational email address to the Customer Support Center.

Note: If you do not set up an organizational email address, the personal email address of the first person who self-registers from your DoDAAC for the WAWF application will be used as the organizational email address.

Step 7: Inform vendor participants that your entity will be using the WAWF application in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment

Inform vendor participants that your entity will be using WAWF and provide them with instructions on how to transition.
