ELECTRONIC CERTIFICATION SYSTEM
ECS is a web-based invoice certification system developed by DFAS Cleveland that provides the capability for authorized Department of Defense (DoD) personnel to approve/certify vendor pay invoices electronically for payment through the Standard Accounting and Reporting System - One Bill Pay (STARS-OBP). Electronic invoices or vouchers (EDI 810CI or 810V) are submitted via a Value Added Network (VAN).ECS notifies the responsible certifying official to perform certification and then forwards the certified invoice to STARS-OBP. ECS uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology to provide authentication of DoD personnel. ECS allows for approval by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) prior to certification, as well as the ability to securely upload supporting documentation files (via https://) directly from the desktop into ECS where the files become a permanent part of the approval/certification decision process. These files can then be retrieved for reference, review, or downloading to the user's desktop with a simple mouse click. ECS was built to replace the Standard Electronic Processing System (SEPS) certification system, which was phased out in FY03.
