Financial documents available electronically Published Nov. 30, 2009 96th CPTS EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- eFinance Workspace houses two modules for customers to initiate a variety of financial processes and documents: PIPS and eFinance. The PIPS module, initially deployed in November 2008, allows active-duty customers arriving at a new permanent duty station to digitally prepare, sign and submit PCS-related documents to their servicing finance office, without having to attend an in-processing briefing. "Wizard" technology guides customers through an interactive session, and the information provided by the member is used to prepare the electronic document(s) and route it for approval and processing. The eFinance module, deployed in February 2009, uses the same "wizard-like" approach to assist customers in the preparation and submission of numerous military pay documents, such as allotments for privatized housing rent and changes to state of legal residence. eFinance can now generate non-DTS travel vouchers for orders not generated through DTS, such as deployment or travel by reservists. Customers can use eFinance to initiate accrual and supplemental payment requests, partial and final settlement claims, and "will commute" mileage claims for reservists on a tour of active duty. Users are able to upload or fax supporting documentation (receipts, orders, etc.), as is done in DTS. eFinance routes the voucher to the reviewer and/or orders authorizing official for approval. After approval, the voucher is routed to the financial services office for review and submission to the Air Force Financial Services Center (AFFSC) for processing. As with other processes in eFinance, the customer receives email status updates as the document package moves through stages of processing. The eFinance Workspace functionality is complementary to the capabilities of myPay and DTS (two more widely-known applications for processing pay and travel transactions), and PIPS/eFinance are available to all bases supported by the AFFSC. Both components of eFinance Workspace assist the war fighter, providing tools needed to operate in today's increasingly digital environment. In addition, they help to standardize and streamline the processes at the local finance office and provide the AFFSC with complete and legible documentation. eFinance Workspace can be accessed either through the Air Force portal on the Life & Career Money Finance Central page or via the direct link (https://efinanceworkspace@wpafb.af.mil).
