Setup and installation This manual does not contain installation instructions; individual installation guide for windows operating system can be found on the website at http://wfp-logistics-its.yolasite.com/ Advantages of using the system A typical process involving paying a supplier invoice begins at the arrival of invoice at the door of the organization regardless of the methods of arrival such as via email, postal mail, facsimile, etc. Once the invoice arrives, the billing/accounts payable clerk must ensure that the document is indeed due by means of matching it against the relative waybill/service report. Then the clerk classifies and sorts the invoice into the various logistics categories. Once its 1 category is defined, the invoice is forwarded to the responsible person to be logged in the system. Below are some of the advantages of the system:• Log and track invoices you received from transporters/service providers
• Determine what you owe creditors, and when it's due
• Track billable time for yourself and your staff
• Keep track of project expenditure to stay on budget
• Notify your creditors of invoices status
• Create interesting reports and analyze payment history• Save time & keep service providers happy 2 Authentication and privilegesDifferent users of the system are granted different roles allowing/blocking them toaccess the various parts of the system accordingly. Creating new users and grantingprivileges can be accomplished by system administrators
FIGURE 1.1 illustrates the startup screen in which users has to provide their assigned credentials. The last built date is shown atthe bottom of the screen and is associated with the application version
3 Main boardUpon successful authentication, the various screens of the application can be accessedfrom the main board screen
FIGURE 1.2 Notice the “logged in as” wording logging the user name for later interactions such as entries/data modificationsmade and reports’ signatures

Note Custom users’ skins can be removed by simply cancelling the browse image dialogue box
4 2 ChapterInvoices – TransportationTransporters’ invoices are to be entered in the invoices – transportation screen whichare indexed by the mandatory LTI ID field marked in red. Along with the LTI ID,Invoice ID and invoice amount are the first fields to fill, other information may befilled along the individual stages of the invoice processing routine
FIGURE 2.1 Data in the invoices – transportation screen can be filtered using native MS Access filter tools
5 WINGS dataAn updatable offline WINGS data copy is stored separately in the system. RelativeLTI data such as purchase order number, item line sequence, purchase order amount,purchase order creation date, LTI dispatch date, service entry sheet reference numberand service entry sheet value and service entry sheet release date can be drawn fromWINGS by clicking on the button
For accuracy, drop down menus’ values are extracted automatically from wings to list values such as vendors’ IDs and names Note Most of the entries in this screen are dates data type. Current day’s date is used as a default value in most of them, however, when not applicable, make sure to modify the date accordingly
Try filtering data using an old LTI ID stored in the system and click on the Get LTI data from wings and notice the gaps filled/replaced data from WINGs entries
COMPAS dataReal time COMPAS data are available in the system as a live connection is maintainedwith COMPAS server and is present at all times in the system. Data such as CDR IDwill be automatically brought when a consolidated delivery report is created against thecurrent LTI record
6 Matching waybill overall count Use the little “expected WBs” button to double check the overall count of the relative waybills for the LTI in question Warning Calculating expected waybills count for an LTI may take some time as data will be fetched from COMPAS on a real time basis; it also depends on how fast the server response is
Electronic archivingScanned copies must be made in PDF format and the naming convention L# must beused at all times (e.g. for an LTI coded 1234, a fully qualified file name including thefile type extension is L1234.pdf Note Network or local path to the scanner has to be set first using the options and variable screen discussed later
Invoices – Non -TransportationUnlike the transportation invoices entry screen, the non-transportation screen does notcontain and LTI ID field and can be used to log other service activities and fines suchas port operations both custom clearances and demurrage/detention charges,fumigation, warehousing… etc
