Platform (IPP).

• IPP is a secure, web-based service that manages invoicing from award through payment notification.

Submitting invoices through IPP and:

• If there is a COR on the contract:

• Vendor will submit the invoice through IPP.

• The COR will be notified that there is an invoice for them to review in IPP.

• The COR will review the invoice, edit the distributions, if necessary, and approve/reject the invoice.

• If there are multiple distributions (LOAs) on a single CLIN, IPP will use a sequential method to distribute the funds to the 1st distribution until it is fully expended, then move on to the 2nd distribution until it is fully expended, and so on. If the invoice amounts should not be distributed in this manner, the COR can edit the distributions to apply the invoice amounts as needed.

• If the COR does not take action on the invoice within 3 days, a notification will be sent to the KO so the KO can take action on the invoice or work with the COR to get them to take action on the invoice.

• If the vendor will be submitting invoices through IPP and:

• Once the invoice is approved in IPP, it will be sent to FSMS.

• Once in FSMS, the invoice will go directly to the ACO(s) at FINCEN for final approval.

• The FINCEN ACO(s) will perform the final approval of the invoice and notification will be sent to Treasury to make payment to the vendor.

Who will the vendor work with if they have issues in IPP? For issues with IPP, the vendors will work directly with the IPP Help Desk.

• FINCEN will send vendor information to IPP. If the vendor is already registered in IPP, they will not need to take any action. If the vendor is not registered in IPP, they will get 2 emails from IPP with their user ID, password, and instructions on how to finish their registration.

Who will the vendor work with if they have issues with a payment? IPP will contain payment information that is sent from FSMS, but the IPP Help Desk will not be able to assist the vendor with the payment. Based on this, the vendor will need to work with the KO and FINCEN for payment issues.
