Intragovernmental Payments and Collections (IPAC): Enhancements and Legal Changes

Adjustment files and zero dollar files are now provided. In addition, processing has been streamlined by enabling the use of the standard payment program and the Payment Medium Workbench in IPAC processing.

Invoice Status Reporting

A report has been added to track and maintain status of vendor invoices. Both FI and LIV can be tracked in various stages.

Enhancements to PPA

Enhancements have been made that add new fields at the line-item level to exclude items from Prompt Payment Act (PPA). Previously, only overall documents could be excluded

Enhancements have also made to Fast Pay processing, the invoice release report, and to the factory calendar.

Enhancements to Invoice Release Report

The invoice release program can now analyze multiple blocked invoices against multiple goods receipts, identify which invoices are fully received, and remove the payment block. Previously, all open invoices had to be fully received before any invoices were released.

Invoices in LIV

Previously, SAP limited invoices to 999 lines purchase order (PO) lines, goods receipts, and LIV allow four items. The limitation was with FI, which can handle three-position (999) line items. The FI invoice still has a limitation of 999 lines, but the limitation is now transparent and the system automatically creates multiple FI invoices from the LIV invoice.
