Product overview

Help and User Guide maintained for WAP v192.0.25 (desktop version) and v192.0.15 (mobile app version)


The WAP Mobile App is available for iOS and Android users and can provide a quick and easy way to enter or approve documents and reduce the risk of receipts or goods received documents being lost.

Once synced, documents will post through to WAP and if applicable, Sage.  Configuration must be done in the WAP Desktop Website prior to the mobile app being used.

The WAP Mobile App is designed as a personal tool to complement the WAP Desktop Website, where users can quickly enter and approve documents.  It will not contain the full functionality of the Desktop Website.  The WAP Desktop Website can instead be navigated to in a web browser on the device if further functionality is required when access to a desktop PC is not possible.

This guide aims to cover what an end user will need to get started using the WAP App, with WAP Desktop information included where relevant.


1. WAP Enable Module (WAP Desktop Website)

This should already have been done at set-up and is covered in section 1.1 of the Mobile App Install Help and User Guide (IT).

For the WAP Mobile App to be used, WAP needs a valid licence string entered within the WAP Web App.  The module expiry date is shown along with the modules that have been enabled and the maximum number of users.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 1 Image 1

Each year WAP will require a new enable string to continue working.  When a new one has been issued, from within system settings cogs, navigate to the System Settings banner and select Miscellaneous – Licencing – Apply new licence – Browse and Upload.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 1 Image 2

The WAP Mobile app is currently compatible with entering Requisitions, Expenses, Timesheets and Holidays.  It can also be used to approve all these document types and Invoices.


2. Configuring WAP for WAP App use (WAP Desktop Setup)

Within the main WAP System Settings there are configuration options relating to the WAP Mobile App (System Settings cogs – System settings banner –Miscellaneous menu – Mobile Access banner).

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image 1 Section 2

Enable Mobile Service:  this will enable the WAP system to allow access from mobile devices connected via the WAP Mobile app.

Mobile Service endpoint address:  required server URL which the WAP Mobile app will need to be connected to; e.g. “http://[server IP address]:[Port Number]/WAPService”.

Https certificate thumbprint to bind the port number to (required for https only):  required for users that require a secure connection.  If users are to be accessing the WAP Mobile app outside of the office location, it is recommended to obtain a SSL certificate and to configure https access.  See WAP App Install Help and User Guide (IT) for more info.

Max file upload size from mobile device:  if a maximum upload limit for attachments (in MBs) is required, enter the maximum size here.

Enable Mobile Timesheets:  tick to allow for timesheet entry and approval with the WAP Mobile app.

Enable Mobile Requisitions:  tick to allow for requisition entry and approval with the WAP Mobile app.

Enable Mobile Holiday Requests:  tick to allow for holiday entry and approval with the WAP Mobile app.

Enable Mobile Expenses:  tick to allow for expense entry and approval with the WAP Mobile app.

Enable Mobile Invoices:  tick to allow for invoice approval with the WAP Mobile app.

Usertypes

In addition to the system settings, usertypes will also need to be configured to allow mobile access:

3. WAP Mobile App Install (End User)

Please see our End User Install Help and User Guide for information which has been summarised below for version 19.2.

To install the Mobile app to either an Apple or an Android device, users will first need to navigate to their Personal WAP settings on the WAP Desktop website:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 3 Image 1

From here there are three tabs: IOS, Android and Endpoint Address.  If on your mobile device you have an app to scan QR codes, it is possible to use this to scan the QR code from the first two tabs.  Alternatively the apps can be manually searched for.  Both options are explained in section 3.1 (Apple) and 3.2 (Android) below.

Download the relevant version of the app from iOS or Microsoft App Centre as a standard app onto the mobile device to be used before moving onto Mobile App Configuration.


3.1. Where to download Apple WAP Mobile App

A tutorial on how to download the Sicon WAP App on an Apple device

3.3. WAP Mobile Configuration

Refer to section 2 of the End User Install Help and User Guide for further information, which has been summarised below for this version:

Before starting, have the 3rd tab available from the WAP Desktop Personalised settings available (Endpoint Address):

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 3.3 Image 1

Once the mobile app has been installed on a user’s device, open the app and click on the cog on the top right of the login screen to be taken into the Settings:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 3.3 Image 2

Mobile Endpoint Address:  use the inbuilt QR scanner to the right of the Mobile Endpoint address to scan the URL from the desktop Personalised settings.  This will enter the URL that has been configured for using the WAP App.  This URL can be entered manually by the user but must match the WAP Desktop Settings address.  If this URL is not entered correctly, users will not be able to log into the WAP Mobile app.

Remember Me:  if this is ticked, the user will be logged in automatically when loading the app.  If this the user will be working offline, this setting must be enabled for users to be able to login while the device is offline.

It is not recommended to enable this if multiple users are to log in via the same device.

Use Windows Authentication:  tick this if Windows Authentication is configured in the WAP website. If configured, users will log into the app with the same credentials as they log into Windows; the WAP Mobile app will validate the password against the domain account.  For this to work, usernames in the WAP Desktop website must match the usernames as created in Windows Active Directory.

Sync on Login:  once installed, syncing the app is required to transfer the information from the WAP App to the next stage.  See the section Sync for further information on the sync process.

This setting will be off until the first full sync has been done and can then be switched on if required.

On login a partial sync will be done which will obtain the latest holiday entitlement and tax rates.

Weeks to Sync:  choose the number of weeks to sync; by default, this is set to 8 weeks.

Advanced Settings

Database Reset:  this option can be used to reset all data stored on the device.  This setting will remove any journeys the user has marked as on their favourite list.  If the database has been reset, a full sync will need to be done once the user has logged in.  If multiple users are logging in via the same device, it is recommended that the database is reset between logins and storing favourite journeys would not be recommended as these will be lost between logins.

Connection Timeout (30-300 Secs):  if the app does not have a response from the service during sync, the sync will fail.  The default will be 60 but this might need to be increased if the connection to the server is slow or perhaps there are a high number of items to load.


4. Getting Started

Please read WAP Mobile App Configuration before progressing to this step.

Once the app has been installed and the Mobile Endpoint address entered, users will now be able to start using the WAP Mobile app on their device.


4.1. WAP Mobile App login

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 4.1 Image 1

Enter username and password and click to log in.  If the user requires to view their password on entry, click the eye icon.  The main WAP Mobile app settings are accessed via the cogs at the top right of the screen.

Users will not be able to login if the Web API URL is not correct (a common error is to scan the QR code from the iOS or Android tabs, rather than the Endpoint tab, so always make sure the correct endpoint address displays in the settings in WAP Mobile App Configuration):

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 4.1 Image 2


4.2. Sync

When a user first logs in they will see a message to state that a full sync is required.  Click the sync icon at the top right to access the sync page.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 4.2 Image 1

Click the option to Sync items and then choose the option to Full Sync.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 4.2 Image 2

While the sync is happening a green progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen with a yellow bar below showing exactly what is being synced.  When the sync has been successful, a message will appear to confirm and the screen can be closed.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 4.2 Image 3

Once the full sync has been complete, the user will be returned to their homepage to see either any documents awaiting their approval or the option to add a new document.

Syncing is required when:

  • A user first downloads and logs into WAP, to collect user’s data from the WAP System (full sync).
  • There is new information for the user to pick up, for example new projects or nominals that have been added through the desktop, and to ensure the latest status of a document or entitlement is shown (full sync).
  • A document has been submitted through the app (sync waiting items).

It is not possible to select to run a full sync if there are items waiting to be synced.


4.3. General Navigation

Regardless of the modules enabled, navigation of WAP is the same throughout.  As an Approver, any items awaiting approval are displayed on the homescreen after logging in and running a full-sync:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 4.3 Image 1

Clicking on one of the document items on this screen will take an approver to the approval screen for that document type.

The camera icon at the bottom can be used to capture pictures of attachments that can later be attached to a document in the app (e.g. a receipt for an expense).  These pictures are stored in the camera roll of the device, and WAP will prompt and require permission to access photos to enable this feature.

If Google API is enabled in the WAP Desktop, the Start Journey icon allows an expenses user to begin recording a journey that can be saved and later used to submit a mileage claim.  See section 9 for further information on mileage claims.

All users will see the same homescreen regardless of whether they have permission to approve or not.  The top left 3 bars are known as a Hamburger menu.  For further options, use the Hamburger menu at the top left to navigate to options to submit documents, and to view the version of the app installed:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 4.3 Image 2

From here, users can select the document type they wish to enter.

Expenses: Allows the user to enter expense and mileage lines

Journey log: Allows the user to create or retrieve regular journeys for mileage claims

Holidays: Allows the user to enter a holiday request

Requisitions: Allows the user the user to enter a requisition

Goods Received: Allows the user to received goods through the app

Timesheets: Allows the user to enter timesheets through the app

Invoices: Allows users to view Invoices for approval and invoice approval history

Logout: Allows the user to log out of the WAP App on the device

Last Sync: once the user has started using the app, a date and time will be displayed to indicate when the last sync was done

v: The version number will be displayed at the bottom right, e.g. v.192.0.15.  This will not be the same as the version number on the WAP desktop, and will assist if any support queries need to be raised with Sicon.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 5Item Details:  free text field to enter the description of the item required.
Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 6Delivery Date:  this will pull through as today’s date but can be changed as required.  It does not necessarily need to match the delivery date from the Details tab.  This is particularly useful if expecting staggered delivery or part invoicing an order.
Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 7Quantity:  enter the quantity required either by typing a number, or using the -/+ to scroll to the correct quantity.
Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 8Unit Price (£):  enter the price per unit as required.  The symbol is currently an icon to denote value, it is not reflective of the currency of the order.
Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 9Tax Code:  currently the tax code is always displayed and will need to be entered manually.

If the Desktop settings have this setting hidden, this will not currently be reflected in the app and therefore the user can either enter requisitions in the desktop where the tax field will be hidden, or alternatively a Finance User can be added into the approval route to correct any tax information (currently in the desktop version only).

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 10Nominal Information: If a Project and Project Header/Project Item have been selected, the nominal code will be automatically populated based on the selection and by default.  Note, within the app users will be able to change this code to another they have access to.  This does not match the desktop functionality where this can be configured for the code not be changed.

If a costing module is not integrated with WAP, the user will need to manually select a nominal code for this line item.  Nominal codes can be searched for either by typing an account number or name, or scrolling to it.  Users can be given permission on their User profile to ‘Access All Nominal Codes’ but it is advised to restrict user nominal access so they see a limited list of codes.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 11Costing information: This will appear if Sicon Projects, Sage Project Accounting or WAP Projects has been configured as the Costing Module on the WAP Desktop site.

If the Requisition is linked to a Project, select the correct Project and Project Header/Project Item from the drop down menus either by typing to search, or scrolling to the required selection.  Note; if activities are being used in the Project structure, these are currently not supported within the WAP App and users will need to continue to use the desktop website to enter this information.
If a user has ‘Access all Projects/Projects’ ticked on their User profile, all live Projects will appear in the dropdown list.  Alternatively, users can be given access to specific Projects and Project Headers/Project Items.

Confirmation Method (no icon): Confirm whether goods will be received as Free Text, Service items or not require receiving.

The WAP desktop settings will currently not be reflected in the app and this field will need to be entered manually by the user.  The user can either enter requisitions in the desktop where the confirmation field will be hidden or defaulted, or alternatively an additional user can be added into the approval route to correct the confirmation intent method.

Once the required information has been entered (more lines can be added as required), click Save at the bottom of any of the three tabs and select OK from the menu:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 12

This will bring the user back to their requisitions screen where they can tap on the order they’ve just placed to submit (or edit) it:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 13

Once submitted, an additional icon will appear on the order indicating that it has not yet been synced:

Once the user has submitted all the requisitions they wish, they can then sync items for these to be pushed into the WAP desktop site and onto the approver.  See section X for how to sync waiting items.

Once synced, the item will move to the ‘Waiting’ tab where it can be tapped on to view or edit as required.  In the example below, mobile order M1 has been allocated to WAP ID 30724, which can be searched for in the desktop app:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 25

This order is now available for the approver to approve either in the Desktop application or when they sign into the WAP App on their own mobile device.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.2 Image 26

Once the user has submitted all the requisitions they wish, they can then sync items for these to be pushed into the WAP desktop site and onto the approver.  See section X for how to sync waiting items.

Once synced, the item will move to the ‘Waiting’ tab where it can be tapped on to view or edit as required.  In the example below, mobile order M8 has been allocated to WAP ID 30737, which can be searched for in the desktop app:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.4 Image 20

This order is now available for the approver to approve either in the Desktop application or when they sign into the WAP App on their own mobile device.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.4 Image 21

Email notifications for orders submitted through the app work in the same way as the desktop application, so once an order has been submitted, users will receive notifications tracking its progress.


6.5. Requisitions - Additional Navigation Options

In addition to using the options described above, once a user has used the Hamburger Menu to select requisitions, navigating back to the Hamburger menu provides some further options for the user:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 5.5 Image 1

Home: takes the user back to the main home screen with all module options

New Requisition: users can use this as an alternative to enter a new requisition and will be brought into the Requisition header page – see section 5.1 for more information.

Approve Requisitions: an approver can use this as an alternative to approve requisitions.  See section 6 for further information.

Goods Received: users can use this as an alternative to receive goods – see section 7 for further information.

Sync: users can sync items from here.


7. Requisition Approval

Users should do a full sync prior to approval to ensure they have the latest items awaiting approval.  When they sync has been run, the amount of items for approval will be displayed on the homescreen.  In this example, the approver has 3 requisitions for approval:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 6 Image 1

Tap on Requisitions from this screen to be brought into the items awaiting approval.


7.1. Require Approval Tab

Once Requisitions has been tapped, the approver will be presented with the Require Approval tab which lists out all requisitions awaiting approval:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 6.1 Image 1

For more detail on any of these, tap on the requisition to be brought into the requisition information.

The Details tab across the top shows the header information and any notes the user may have provided.  From here the user can Reject or Approve the requisition:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 6.1 Image 2

The Lines tab across the top shows a summary of the lines on the order, which again can be tapped to expand the information further:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 6.1 Image 3

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 6.1 Image 4

Close to come out of the detailed line information to navigate to the other tabs on the requisition.

The Attachments tab across the top will show any attachments that the user has added to the requisition:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 6.1 Image 5

Once the order has been checked, navigate back to the Details tab to approve or reject the requisition.  The user will be prompted to ensure they are happy to approve:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 6.1 Image 6

The requisition will not show as approved in the WAP Desktop until it has been synced.  Use the back button to navigate to the homescreen where the sync menu will be available to Sync Waiting Items and push the approved documents back into the WAP Desktop:

8. Goods Receiving

Use the hamburger menu and select Goods Received to begin:

Sicon WAP Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7 Image 1

At the point of opening this menu item, the WAP App will immediately update the current status of all goods received and download items awaiting receipt.  Please note that unlike most areas in the app, this will immediately use mobile data so users should ensure that they are on a WiFi connection or have an adequate data plan on their mobile device prior to receiving goods:

Sicon WAP Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7 Image 2

From here, users can either Confirm or Amend Goods Received using the tabs at the bottom of the screen, as explained in the following sections.


8.1. Receiving Goods/Services

Once the list has loaded, it can be searched (or refreshed, if new orders expecting items to be received need to be pulled through):

Sicon WAP Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.1 Image 1

Search for the Purchase Order to be received, tap the selection box on the left and click Receive at the bottom of the screen:

Sicon WAP Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.1 Image 2

Once the user has found the item they wish to receive, tap on the checkbox on the left of the order and click on Receive at the bottom of the screen to be taken to the Receipt Details screen – Details tab.  Here the receipt header detail can be entered and any attachments added using the paperclip button at the top right or “Attach Goods Received Note” in the middle of the screen:

Sicon WAP Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.1 Image 3

Click on the Lines tab at the bottom to enter the quantity to be received:

Sicon WAP Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.1 Image 4

Once the receipt quantities have been entered on the line, click back to the Details tab and click Save to save the receipt, and confirm receipt:

Sicon WAP Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.1 Image 5

Again, at this point data will be used to push the receipt back into WAP, so no syncing is required when receiving goods, and the WAP Desktop is instantly updated:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.1 Image 6


8.2. Amending Goods Received

Once the list has loaded, click on the Amend tab and search for the GRN number to be amended:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.2 Image 1

This will open the original Receipt header information on the Details tab:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.2 Image 2

Click on the Lines tab to enter any amendments to the GRN.  In the example below, the user originally received 3 and has now corrected this to 5:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.2 Image 3

Once the receipt quantities have been entered on the line, click back to the Details tab and click Save to save the receipt, and confirm receipt:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.2 Image 4

Again, at this point data will be used to push the receipt back into WAP, so no syncing is required when receiving goods, and the WAP Desktop (and Sage) is instantly updated:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 7.2 Image 5


9. Invoice Approval

Users should do a full sync prior to approval to ensure they have the latest items awaiting approval.  When they sync has been run, the amount of items for approval will be displayed on the homescreen.  In this example, the approver has 8 invoices for approval:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8 Image 1

Tap on Invoices from this screen to be brought into the items awaiting approval.


9.1. Require Approval Tab

Upon tapping Invoices from the homescreen, the approver will be presented with the Require Approval tab which lists out all invoices awaiting approval:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 1

For more detail on any of these, tap on the invoice to be brought into the invoice information.

The Details tab across the top shows the header information and any notes entered in Sage.  From here the user can Reject or Approve the requisition:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 2

The Lines tab across the top shows a summary of the lines on the order, which again can be tapped to expand the information further:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 3

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 4

Close to come out of the detailed line information to navigate to the other tabs on the invoice.

The Attachments tab across the top will show any attachments that the user has added to the invoice in Sage (requires Sicon Documents):

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 5

Tapping on the attachment will display the image:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 6

Once the invoice has been checked, navigate back to the Details or Lines tab to approve or reject the invoice.  The user will be prompted to ensure they are happy to approve.  The invoice will not show as approved in the WAP Desktop until it has been synced.

An alternative way of approving instead of improving from within the invoice, is to select a couple of items for approval at once using the tickbox to the left on the initial ‘Require Approval’ tab.  Users will then be prompted to ensure they wish to approve the multiple items:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 7

By approving this way, the user will be presented with a further option to be taken straight to the sync screen to push these back to WAP (otherwise they can manually sync later):

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 8

Saying yes to this will take the user to the sync screen where they can Sync Waiting Items.  Once synced, the invoice will move onto the next approver until it has been fully approved, at which point it will show under the Completed tab in the WAP Desktop:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.1 Image 9


9.2. Recently Approved

Once items have been approved, they will display in the ‘Recently Approved’ tab:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 8.2 Image 1

The invoice will not show as approved in the WAP Desktop until it has been synced.  Use the back button to navigate to the homescreen where the sync menu will be available to Sync Waiting Items and push the approved documents back into the WAP Desktop:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9 Image 1


10.1. Expense Entry Header

Whether entering Expenses or Mileage, use the hamburger menu to navigate to Expenses.

The user will then be presented with three tabs:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.1 Image 1

10.5. Journey Log - Start Journey

If GoogleAPI is enabled, there are a couple of ways of adding mileage to an expense claim through the app.  This section will cover the option to click Start Journey from the bottom of the home screen:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 1

If using this function, the app will record the start point of a journey and the end point of the journey, and use GoogleAPI to calculate the distance between the two.  It does not track the user so will not take into account any diversions, and will also not use data for the journey.  Note, these journeys will be cleared if the App Database needs to be reset in any circumstance, so it is advisable to save and sync claims as soon as possible so that data is not lost.

To use this function, the app will require location access and will prompt the user so the app can record the current GPS location when the button is pressed:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 2

Once started, the button will change colour, ready for when the journey is to be ended:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 3

When the user has arrived at their destination, select End Journey to record the current GPS location when the button is pressed.

This will then bring up an additional screen for the user to enter the details of that journey for retrieval later:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 4

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 5Journey description: Enter a brief description of the journey.  This may not be retrieved until a claim is entered at a later stage, so it is recommended to provide a name that is easy to identify the trip from.
Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 6Journey type: Journeys can be stored in a Current or a Favourite list, ready for retrieval in a mileage claim.  There is also an Archive list if journeys are no longer required for expenses.

Show on Map: If required, users can view the two points on the map to check Google has used the right location.

Save: Click save once details have been entered which will save the journey ready for use in a mileage claim later.

The journey can then be viewed using the Hamburger menu and selecting Journey Log:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 12

Depending on which list it was saved to, will depend which tab it displays in.  In the example above, the journey has been saved in the Current list:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.5 Image 13

From here tapping on the journey gives the user the options to view or delete the journey.


10.6. Journey Log - Record Manual Journey

In addition to the method described in the last section, it is also possible to add a journey manually rather than using GPS.  For example if a user has a regular journey they wish to add as a favourite.  GoogleAPI must be enabled on the WAP Desktop site for this feature to be used.  From within the hamburger menu select Journey Log:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.6 Image 1

The user will then be presented with three tabs:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 9.6 Image 2

Current: Displays any journeys the user has recorded and marked as current.

Favourite: Displays any journeys the user has recorded and marked as favourite.

Archived: Displays any journeys the user has recorded and marked as archived.  These will not be available for selection when entering a mileage claim.

To add a journey, tap the +Journey button from any of the tabs.  From here, the user can enter the journey information they wish to use later:

11. Expense Approval

A tutorial on how to approve an expense claim on the WAP App v20.

Users should do a full sync prior to approval to ensure they have the latest items awaiting approval.  When they sync has been run, the amount of items for approval will be displayed on the homescreen.  In this example, the approver has 6 Expenses for approval:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10 Image 1

Tap on Expenses from this screen to be brought into the items awaiting approval.


11.1. Require Approval Tab

Once Expenses has been tapped, the approver will be presented with the Require Approval tab which lists out all expenses and mileage items awaiting approval:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10.1 Image 1

For more detail on any of these, tap on the expense to be brought into the expense information.

The Details tab across the top shows the header information and any notes the user may have provided.  From here the user can Reject or Approve the claim:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10.1 Image 2

The Lines tab across the top shows a summary of the lines on the expense with the attachment, which can be tapped to enlarge and view attachment in more detail if required:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10.1 Image 3

Clicking on the line can also provide more detail if required:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10.1 Image 4

Once the lines have been checked, approve or reject the claim using the buttons at the bottom.  The user will be prompted to ensure they are happy to approve:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10.1 Image 5

It is also possible to select multiple expenses to approve at once from the original approval screen:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10.1 Image 6

Approving in this way will generate an additional pop up with an option to sync the approved expenses:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 10.1 Image 7

Expenses approved at an individual level will need to be synced manually.  The expenses will not show as approved in the WAP Desktop until this has been done.  Use the back button at the top to navigate to the homescreen where the sync menu will be available to Sync Waiting Items and push the approved documents back into the WAP Desktop:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 11.1 Image 6Description: If required, add a description for the holiday request.  This will be visible in the Holiday calendar.  At present it is not possible to choose to hide this in the WAP App.  If users wish to enter a reason that is not visible to others, this will need to be done in the WAP Desktop app.

Note that if conflicts have been set up, the requesting user will not see these when requesting Holiday.  If this is required, users will need to continue to submit holiday requests on the WAP Desktop site.

Once all the holiday information has been entered, click Save:

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 11.1 Image 7

This will return the user to the main Holiday screen where they can tap the holiday to Submit it (or edit, or delete):

16. Suggested Error Resolutions

Before logging a case with your business partner or the Sicon Support team, below are some common errors and troubleshooting steps that may assist users.  If a support case still needs to be raised, please include steps taken to resolve the error prior to logging a case.

MessageTroubleshooting Tips
Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 15 Image 1No Connection Currently unable to connect to the WAP service.  Tap ‘work offline’ to continue or check connection”Ensure that the user receiving the message is definitely connected to a network or WiFi.

Ensure that the user can manually navigate to the endpoint address from within ‘My Settings’ in WAP through a browser on their mobile device.  See Section 3.3 for further information on the endpoint address.  The top of the page should say something like “You have created a service. 

To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax”.
If it says “This site can’t be reached”, this indicates the service is not running (or if first install, perhaps App website has not been configured correctly).  Try restarting the WAP Service (see next point).

This could also be a result of the Sicon WAP Service not running.  Restarting the Sicon WAP Service should resolve this.

The Sicon WAP Service can be restarted by whoever maintains the server where WAP is held (usually IT departments, or sometimes Business Partners).

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 15 Image 2Connection Error
Could not connect to Web Url. Please check connection settings”
This is most likely a result of the Sicon WAP Service not running.  Restarting the Sicon WAP Service should resolve this.

The Sicon WAP Service can be restarted by whoever maintains the server where WAP is held (usually IT departments, or Business Partners).

It could also be the result of the Endpoint address not being entered on the settings screen.

Sicon WAP App Help and User Guide - WAP App HUG Image Section 15 Image 3

Sync Failed

When doing a full sync, if the message appears that it fails then there may be a message that gives some information like this one attached – ‘could not connect to endpoint address’ – make sure the WAP Service is running and the endpoint address is correct in the App settings screen.

The Sicon WAP Service can be restarted by whoever maintains the server where WAP is held (usually IT departments, or Business Partners).

Alternatively, it could be because of the amount of information required to sync, in which case increasing the “Connection timeout” within the Advanced settings section of the of the WAP App settings may assist.
