First DPS Invoice Submitted

September 22, 2008 Comments Off

Earlier today, we submitted our first live DPS invoice. This was for the shipment that was booked in the production version of DPS as a method of judging the system’s readiness for a September 10th launch.

Of course, the implementation delay of DPS has created some complications in getting this invoice submitted. PowerTrack had to make some updates to their production system to allow all the DPS line items to be submitted. Additionally, this invoice will have to be manually processed on the backend by Air Force, since their new accounting system won’t go live until October 1st. We appreciate all the teamwork necessary to get this invoice moving.

Some may be viewing this as a good measure of DPS invoicing readiness, but it really is just a snapshot look at one scenario. The shipment was a pretty basic direct delivery, so there will not be a lot of line items on the invoice. There are a couple of the line items that haven’t fully passed the testing process, so they could present some problems. We will update the progress of the invoice here, so check back to see how the invoice is progressing.
