Electronic system makes PCS easier for service members Published March 19, 2009 By 90th Comptroller Squadron 90th Comptroller Squadron F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- The permanent change of station in-processing system and the electronic finance application are both nearing completion. PIPS will offer a secure, paperless way to submit PCS-related financial documents with automated assistance to the member. This process is accomplished using a wizard approach to guide the members through PCS in-processing by presenting an interactive interview session that will explain PCS entitlements based on information provided by member. PIPS can be accessed via the secure Web site application, eFinance, using a common access card and pin. Once a user navigates to the PIPS site, the system will use easy to understand question and answer sessions to take the member through the process of PCS travel. The wizard technology will make it virtually impossible to overlook even the smallest detail when completing a PCS-In voucher. Because a PCS may be a confusing period in a military career, the system will achieve accurate, relevant information exchange. As a person signs into and starts using PIPS, they will be asked whether they are PCSing to an overseas location or within the contiguous United States. PIPS will use this response to present them with the correct information based on where they are going. Included in this briefing are links to entitlements and rates payable as well as to frequently asked questions relative to the PCS move. For members arriving at their new duty station, PIPS will automate and standardize the documentation portion of the financial services in-processing briefing. By using PIPS, members will be able to initiate and complete their financial services in-processing from anywhere in the world using a CAC-enabled computer.
