The Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) is a secure, web-based system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury�s Bureau of the Fiscal Service in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency. To enter an invoice in IPP, invoice numbers should be generated using the existing numbering format and all required fields must be populated. Attachments are supported in IPP � any supplemental documentation required for invoice submission, by the terms of the award, must be attached to the invoice. If IPP cannot accommodate the file size or quantity of the required attachments: you must submit a log file, with each invoice, that includes a list of the files that you will transmit to USIBWC, through other methods (optical disc, secure file server, etc.). After IPP accepts your submission, IPP will route the invoice to USIBWC personnel for review and approval. IPP will produce a watermark on each invoice with any one of the following invoice statuses: Received � Initial status when invoice is submitted by the vendor Rejected � Invoice was rejected back to the vendor by an approver OR invoice was cancelled in GFMS Scheduled to Pay � Payment was sent to Treasury for payment Paid � Treasury sent the payment to the vendor Expired � Expired SAM registration IPP Registration If your Company is already registered in IPP: If your company is already registered to use IPP, you will not be required to re-register. Please ensure the person responsible for submitting your invoices for the contracts listed above has an active account. If not, coordinate with your company�s designated IPP administrator to establish an IPP account ahead of the deadline for IPP invoice submission. If your Company is NOT already registered in IPP: If your company is not registered to use IPP, you are receiving this email as a point of contact for your company. You will receive two emails from STLS.IPPHELPDESK@stls.frb.org to complete the registration process: 1. The first email contains the initial administrative IPP User ID. 2. The second email, sent within 24 hours of receipt of the first email, contains a temporary password. The first log in with the temporary password must occur within 30 days of receipt of the temporary password email. Registration is complete when the initial administrative user logs into the IPP web site with the User ID and password provided and accepts the rules of behavior. Please have the point of contact add STLS.IPPHELPDESK@stls.frb.org to their address book so these emails are not discarded by mistake. Additional user accounts including administrators can be created after initial login. A. If you are registered in the System for Award Management (SAM): The name listed as the Accounts Receivable POC will be the IPP administrator for your company. Please make adjustments in SAM if you need to update the Accounts Receivable POC. B. If you are NOT registered in SAM: You may email your preferred point of contact toCGFSIPPVendorSupport@state.gov. Include the following: 1. Subject line: �IPP POC: [Insert Your Company�s Name]� 2. Email body: i. Company�s name ii. Contract Number iii. First and last name of the point of contact iv.
