Allows vendors with existing ERP systems that support EDI to submit EDI 810 and EDI 210 invoice files to IPP and receive EDI 850 purchase order files. Vendors must use SecureTransport to transmit files through the TWAI server (Treasury Web Application Infrastructure). IPP provides two separate settings:
Enable automated invoice file processing - If checked, IPP scans for files in the secure file transfer location and processes them if found. If unchecked, IPP does not scan for files.
Enable automated PO download processing – If checked, IPP scans for POs that have not been downloaded to the secure file transfer location or through PO Batch and downloads them if found. If unchecked, IPP does not download PO files.
If the task fails after 3 attempts, IPP clears the checkbox. You can check the box to re-enable the task; however, you should contact Customer Support at (866) 973-3131 to determine the cause of the issue.
Note: To implement, vendors and agencies must work directly with IPP staff on a case-by-case basis to configure specific schedules and files.
For invoice uploads:
IPP retrieves the EDI 810 or EDI 210 invoices file from the vendor’s own Secure Transport directory in the TWAI.
IPP transforms the EDI invoice file to an eFile XML format.
The Collector module reads the XML eFile and processes it.
For purchase order downloads:
IPP extracts agency POs and creates an XML PO Batch file.
IPP translates the XML PO Batch file into an EDI 850 purchase order file.
IPP moves the EDI 850 purchase order file to the vendor’s own Secure Transport directory in the TWAI to be fetched by the vendor.
