The Payments pages allow you to query and view payment settlement information uploaded to IPP from the U.S. Treasury. IPP provides data about settled ACH(Automated Clearing House – direct transfers to a checking or savings account, check, and wire payments made to your company by the US Treasury on behalf of federal agencies that utilize IPP. IPP does not perform any actual payment processing, but simply acts as a conduit to make payment data available to vendors.
IPP also provides details about Treasury offsets (payment reductions taken to satisfy tax or other obligations), if applicable.
For ACH payments, IPP associates the payments with specific invoices, where possible. You can view data for check and wire payments in IPP, but IPP does not associate these payments with specific IPP invoices.
Note: Payment-related links and data are only visible if you have the View Payments permission assigned to one of your roles. Due to the sensitive nature of tax-related payment data, to view details about Treasury offsets for a reduced payment, you must have the Treasury Offset Details role (which includes the View Payments permission). Contact your IPP Collector Administrator if you need additional roles or permissions.

Reduced – Payments that are partially or fully offset by the US Treasury to fulfill another obligation
Returned – This function is not currently activated in IPP
