3 Steps to Submit Invoice in SUS for Value Based

Step 1a. PO Acknowledgment
•
•

Contract number entered in WAWF (step #7, slide 8) will auto-direct user to the
associated SUS Purchase Order (PO) document.
PO data is replicated from Army GFEBS (accounting and entitlement system) to
SUS for vendor to confirm goods delivered or services performed & create invoice.

1a. Compare SUS PO to PDF of contract award.
If no discrepancies, select “Process” to prepare Acknowledgment.
If a discrepancy, call the Contracting Officer listed on the contract
award.
NOTE: “Process” button appears for a new or changed contract/PO.
Must acknowledge (or reject) each line prior to creating follow-on documents.

Basic (or header) data shown above comes from awarded contract

16

Step 1b. PO Acknowledgment
•
•

PO will show 2-3 lines for each service CLIN with unit of measure AU (activity unit) and amount
Review PO CLIN data to make sure amount matches award

1b. If any lines show on PO that were fully invoiced in WAWF, see slide #38
for further instructions on how to first reject those lines by CLIN.
If all lines are correct, select “Confirm all items” to see GREEN CHECKs.

payment certification.
Provide any other short text information that is helpful to your
acceptor, but you must email any attachments directly.

Step 2c/d. Confirmation for Quantity or Amount

Option: If you are unsure of quantity or amount remaining on the CLIN,
click the Item Selection and “Propose Outstanding Quantities”
button to default the Open amount.

If CLIN unit of measure is “Months, Hours, etc.”, enter quantity of service performed in quantity field.

2d. Verify entries for all CLINs, and select “Confirm” to send the confirmation to acceptor.

submitted against the contract, e.g., enter 1-31 Dec 2016 or Dec 2016.
- Attachments are not currently allowed in SUS, email directly to acceptor.

3c. A system generated sequential Number is assigned to the invoice.
Optional: You may change the defaulted sequential Number to your internal vendor reference number to help you
recognize your payment. The Number will be on the payment addenda record. Number must be unique, so suggest to
begin with your 5 digit vendor CAGE code assigned in System for Award Management (SAM), i.e., 1A234-1000 where
1A234 is the CAGE and 1000 is your internal reference number.
