APAC offers free seminar for Arkansas military vendors
MALVERN, Ark. − The Arkansas Procurement Assistance Center (APAC) is offering
a free all-day seminar to Arkansas military vendors on Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF),
a paperless shipping system, says Sue Coates, APAC program director.
APAC is a program at the Cooperative Extension Service, which is a part of
the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. The program helps Arkansas
businesses by providing training and resources to secure government contracts
and boost revenues.
The seminar will be offered twice at the Center's training facility in
Malvern on June 11 and 12 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Advance registration is
required.
Jerry Wheelwright, a former site manager with the Defense Finance and
Accounting Service (DFAS), will lead the seminar, says Coates. "He has taught
both government and vendors on the aspects of utilizing WAWF, and his expertise
in this area is extensive," she says. Wainwright has more than 40 years'
experience in the financial arena.
Each daylong seminar will cover the following:
- Creating stand-alone invoices, combo documents, two-in-one
invoices, and receiving reports with UID, a bar-coding labeling
system.
- Document work on research, recall, and editing; downloading
and attaching documents; and how to void a document, if
necessary
- WAWF, Electronic Document Access (EDA), and My Invoice.
Classrooms are equipped with computers and a detailed workbook, says Coates.
Attendees will receive a survey form to fill out and submit online when they
register, along with instructions for bringing company information necessary for
the seminar.
