Background

Since 1997, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has disclaimed an opinion on the Financial Report (FR) of the U.S. Government. In its report, 

GAO cited a material weakness related to the Federal Government’s inability to account for and eliminate Intra-governmental Transactions (IGT) activity between 

Federal entities. Buy/Sell Intra-governmental differences play a significant part in the material weakness. G-Invoicing is being developed to offer a data exchange 

platform for Federal Entities (Entities) to communicate with one another. While it is not an accounting system, G-Invoicing will be a central repository to support 

the accounting of Buy/Sell transaction events.

Many Entities are aware of challenges in the current Intra-governmental Buy/Sell environment: Not all Entities utilize Interagency Agreements (IAAs) for every 

good/service provided or complete the same IAA activities in parallel before they initiate the Intra-governmental Payment and Collection (IPAC) movement of 

funds. These deviations lead to unknown IPAC charges, potentially invalid charges, and a burdensome level of reconciliation. G-Invoicing will provide Entities a 

necessary IAA brokering tool that does not exist today; IAA details can be agreed upon before accounting transactions are initiated or funds settle between Entity

accounts. In addition, G-Invoicing provides a standard data set, so all the Entities are exchanging data in the same language.

G-Invoicing will capture the required/necessary IAA governance and accounting data needed by both trading partners. After Entities agree upon the governance 

and accounting parameters for each IAA [General Terms and Conditions (GT&C) and Order], they must submit a performance transaction to generate an IPAC for 

fund settlement to occur. Due to system functionality and the use of analogous data standards, Entities will see a vast reduction in the number of chargebacks and 

disputed transactions. G-Invoicing will be referenced to show differences, such as those caused by accruals, and help entities with their fund’s liquidation process.

These features not only help reconciliations between trading partners, but they also assist the efforts of Fiscal Service during the IGT quarterly scorecard process.

With standardized and streamlined efforts between trading partners, Entities should realize cost savings from the synergies of working together. These synergies

could be as simple as one entity not spending as much time on IPAC chargebacks, or another entity having fewer IGT scorecard issues or financial reporting 

discrepancies to explain and resolve. G-Invoicing will improve the quality and reliability of IGT Buy/Sell information, and ultimately assist Entities with achieving 

their critical missions.

Intra-governmental reimbursable activities encompass a diverse set of operations and business events, many of which are unique to an Entity’s critical mission. In 

addition, numerous stakeholders within an organization perform their own distinct tasks to ensure Buy/Sell transactions are processed, recorded, and reported 

correctly. G-Invoicing’s very flexible data access model provides Entities with many administration options that best suit their business needs. At the same time, 

Entities should assess their business processes to evaluate the impact of the adoption of G-Invoicing.

Overview

G-Invoicing is an online platform for all Entity staff involved with IGT reimbursable activity (including funding officials, program officials, and payment 

approvers) to originate and settle Buy/Sell IAAs electronically. Entities will use G-Invoicing to establish and maintain their agreement on the funding terms and 

the accounting treatment of their reimbursable activity, and to exchange that data with one another for consistent financial reporting. 

G-Invoicing will serve as:

• An agreement broker (the mechanism by which Entities arrange and negotiate the terms of the IAA).

• A data exchange utility (the facilitation of the exchange of information between Entities that ensures well-defined lines of communication); and

• A conduit for sharing data and exchanging information on Buy/Sell IGT activity.

Transitioning from a manual, paper-based IAA to entering IAAs into G-Invoicing will allow Entities to manage the processing and approval of each stage of the 

IGT Buy/Sell transaction lifecycle: GT&Cs, Orders, Performance, and Funds Settlement stages. IPAC will continue to operate as the application for the settlement 

of funds between federal entities; however, the IPAC transaction will be initiated through the Performance transaction within G-Invoicing.

All IGT Buy/Sell activity will be accomplished through the use of the Federal Intra-governmental Data Standards (FIDS); The most recent FIDS update (changes 

to FIDS will occur during the development/enhancement of G-Invoicing) can be viewed at: G-Invoicing Webpage. The FIDS are designed to capture the 

necessary information that trading partners rely upon for the correct accounting of IGT Buy/Sell business events from initiation through funds settlement. When 

Entities develop an IAA and complete the Performance Transaction process with their trading partners, the records must leverage the FIDS to trigger accounting 

events related to the respective business activities. Entities’ consistent use and thorough communication of the FIDS facilitates the accurate recording of business 

events in every stage of the Buy/Sell transaction life cycle and will be enforced through System Mapping and Validation Rules (SM&VR).

Fiscal Service has emphasized that the key to addressing IGT Buy/Sell differences is for entities to communicate with each other. G-Invoicing now offers Entities

a tool to make this communication seamless. This reference guide will walk through the various stages of G-Invoicing and how that expanded communication will 

allow Entities to properly account for their Buy/Sell transactions using the U.S. Standard General Ledger (USSGL) Treasury Financial Manual (TFM)

Supplement.

Please note - The Requesting Agency is the Buyer, and the Servicing Agency is the Seller.

IGT Buy/Sell Transaction Stages & Events
Page 6 of 34

Published: 08/19/2022

General Terms & Conditions (GT&C) Stage

As Entities onboard and begin conducting reimbursable IGT transactions in G-Invoicing, they may begin the exchange of agreement parameters within a GT&C. 

The Requesting Agency and the Servicing Agency will work collaboratively to complete a GT&C, which allows Entities to exchange contact information and set 

certain parameters and criteria that will apply to the subsequent referencing Orders. 

The GT&C section identifies the general terms that govern Buy/Sell trades between the Requesting Agency and Servicing Agency, including roles and 

responsibilities for both Entities to ensure effective management of the IAA. GT&C data elements and information include contact information, agreement period 

dates, points of contact for each entity, and any terms for resolution or agreement termination. No fiscal obligations are created through the execution of the GT&C 

and no proprietary accounting events are recorded. An IAA must contain one GT&C and at least one Order but may contain many Orders under one GT&C. A 

GT&C may have multiple Agency Location Codes (ALC) and an Order can only cite one ALC, but multiple lines of accounting. 

Orders may be initiated by the Servicing Agency (Seller-Facilitated Order) or by the Requesting Agency (Buyer-Initiated Order). The Order Originating Partner 

Indicator (OOPI) is a required field on the GT&C that determines who will initiate the Orders under the GT&C. There cannot be a mixture of both SellerFacilitated Orders (SFO) and Buyer-Initiated Orders (BIO) under a single GT&C. 

G-Invoicing Events: 

 Either the Requesting Agency (Buyer) or the Servicing Agency (Seller) begins the G-Invoicing document flow by creating a new GT&C. The 

Entity initiating the document enters their contact information, authorizing officials, agreement scope, roles, and any clauses. 

 The initiating party reviews the GT&C and shares a draft with their trading partner. Once all data is entered by both trading partners and submitted 

for approval, either trading partner may approve first. 

 Both parties approve the GT&C, and the agreement becomes Open. 

Proprietary Entries for All Scenarios: 

No IGT Buy/Sell proprietary entries are entered at this stage. Some budgetary entries may be posted when or before the GT&C is created. While the GT&C 

proceeds the actual order, it is not considered the obligating document. The obligating document is the Order that is subsequent to the GT&C; however, the 

Servicing Agency should be anticipating agreements for the upcoming fiscal year that do proceed the actual orders. Refer to Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Circular No. A-11 for budgetary guidance.

Order Stage

After both Entities have exchanged basic contact information and each partner’s roles and responsibilities and have fully approved the GT&C, an Order can then 

be initiated. With the introduction of Seller-Facilitated Order functionality in Release 4.1, either the Requesting Agency or the Servicing Agency may initiate an 

Order within the application depending on the terms agreed upon within the associated GT&C. Another advantage to G-Invoicing that Entities will discover is that 

it allows staff members from assorted Entity departments to communicate and share knowledge without stressing over terminology. Just one example of a barrier 

to effective communication between Entities has been when staff members are responsible for negotiating IAAs, but don’t have the necessary knowledge of 

accounting or information systems and are not prepared to make accounting/finance decisions for the agreement.

The Order is the funding section of the IAA that identifies the specific Requesting Agency requirements for the expected delivery of goods and/or services by the 

Servicing Agency, and the corresponding accounting treatment. When both trading partners provide all the required fields determined in the FIDS, an Order can be 

created. 

Both partners will enter their respective Treasury Account Symbol (TAS)/Business Event Type Code (BETC)

1

, additional accounting information, and 

shipping/delivery details. Modifications may occur to Order data; however, they must be provided by the Buyer on Buyer-Initiated Orders (BIOs) or provided by 

the Seller on Seller-Facilitated Orders (SFOs).

G-Invoicing Events: 

Buyer-Initiated Orders (BIO)

 The Buyer initiates an Order from an open GT&C. The Buyer completes the Order with a single, agreed upon Statutory Authority to govern the Order and 

supporting data onto the appropriate Order Schedule lines. The Buyer approves the Order.

 The Seller reviews the data entered by their trading partner and enters their supporting data onto the Order Schedule lines on the Order draft, and reviews 

the data entered by their trading partner. The Seller approves the Order. (See Federal Intra-governmental Data Standards (FIDS) on the G-Invoicing 

website for more information).

 The Seller approving the Order prompts the Order to become Open. 

 The Seller performs services or provides goods, incurring obligations against the Order.

 Performance transactions may occur now that the Order is in Open status.

 An Order cannot be closed until the respective totals of Performance Transactions by the Buyer and Seller agree. Depending on the Freight on Board 

(FOB) Point selected, a Buyer’s Performance Transaction is optional, unless the Buyer disagrees with the Seller’s Performance Transaction. (See FOB 

Point definition below for more detail.)

1 Entities cannot select a TAS on a G-Invoicing Order until it becomes available from the Shared Accounting Module (SAM).

Seller-Facilitated Orders (SFO)

 The Seller initiates an Order from an open GT&C. The Seller completes the Order with a single, agreed upon Statutory Authority to govern the Order and 

supporting data onto the appropriate Order Schedule lines. The Seller approves the Order and shares it with the Buyer moving it to a Shared with Partner 

2 status. 

 The Buyer reviews the data entered by their trading partners and enters their supporting data onto the Order Schedule lines on the Order draft. The Buyer 

approves the Order.

 The Buyer approving the Order prompts the Order to become Open. 

 The Seller performs services or provides goods, incurring obligations against the Order.

 Performance transactions may occur now that the Order is in Open status.

 An Order cannot be closed until the respective totals of Performance Transactions by the Buyer and Seller agree. Depending on the FOB Point selected, a 

Buyer’s Performance Transaction is optional, unless the Buyer disagrees with the Seller’s Performance Transaction. (See FOB Point definition below for 

more detail.)

The FIDS completed within the Order stage convey a physical stamp of transaction type, period of performance, and other accounting requirements for 

both entities. The FIDS within the Order stage will affect the accounting treatment of transactions throughout the rest of the Buy/Sell lifecycle.

FIDS recorded within G-Invoicing that both Entities should reference for their accounting transactions: 

 Capitalized Asset Indicator – Specifies if the item being sold is a capitalized asset of the Servicing Agency (i.e., “Inventory”). The Capitalized Asset 

indicator determines which USSGL scenario should be followed and is used by the Requesting Agency to determine the proper accounting entries needed 

to facilitate IGT eliminations. If the Capitalized Asset Indicator is “Yes,” Entities should refer to the Intragovernmental Capital Asset and Inventory 

Buy/Sell Transactions Guidance. 

 Assisted Acquisitions Indicator – Identifies whether the Order will accommodate Assisted Acquisitions. Through Assisted Acquisitions, the Servicing 

Agency provides acquisition support services on behalf of the Requesting Agency. The Requesting Agency may leverage the Servicing Agency’s 

administrative services and contracting vehicles to obtain goods/services from a third-party vendor. G-Invoicing will only capture the reimbursable

transactions between/to Entities, it will not capture any activities with a non-federal third party during assisted acquisitions. Entities should refer to the 

Assisted Acquisition Guidance. 

 Advance Payment Indicator - Identifies whether Advance Payments are allowed for the Orders supporting the respective GT&C. When authorized, the 

applicable statute must be referenced.

 FOB Point – Specifies at what point the Seller transfers ownership of the goods/services to the Buyer. This also determines which Performance 

Transaction Type will initiate fund settlement (The Seller’s Delivered/Performed or the Buyer’s Received/Accepted.) 

o FOB Point: Source –The Buyer’s Performance Transactions are optional unless the Buyer disagrees with the Seller’s Performance Transaction. An 

Order cannot be closed if the Buyer submits a Performance Transaction “Received/Accepted” that disagrees with the Seller’s Performance 

Transaction “Delivered/Performed”.

o FOB Point: Destination/Other – The Seller’s “Delivered/Performed” transaction totals must equal the Buyer’s “Received/Accepted” totals before 

Orders can be closed. The Buyer’s Performance Transaction is required.
Page 9 of 34

Published: 08/19/2022

 Constructive Receipt Days – The agreed-upon number of days a Buyer must respond to a Performance Transaction. If the Buyer does not submit a 

Performance Transaction within this time frame, fund settlement will automatically initiate from the Seller’s Delivered/Performed Performance Type. The 

Constructive Receipt Days timer begins on the later of the Transaction Date or Performance Date.

Proprietary Entries:

No IGT Buy/Sell proprietary entries are entered at this stage. Some budgetary entries may be posted when or before the Order is created. The obligating document 

is the Order that is subsequent to the GT&C. Refer to OMB Circular No. A-11 for budgetary guidance.

Performance and Fund Settlement Stages

In today’s Buy/Sell transaction process, there is no standard form or means for exchanging accrual information. Entities currently exchange this data informally via 

email using different formats, or they do not share it at all. Accountants responsible for recording USSGL entries try to record this data in their internal accounting 

systems before month-end, and this accounting information is in turn reported to the Governmentwide Treasury Account Symbol Adjusted Trial Balance System 

(GTAS). Once both Entities have loaded their GTAS files, it quickly becomes apparent when Entities have recorded conflicting information. These differences can 

be significant, requiring subsequent research and resolution.

In addition, differences can exist from variations in policy interpretations, differences in delivery methods, and/or discrepancies in calculating the completion of 

services performed for continuous contracts. One example is when one Entity recognizes its accounting transactions at the shipping point, and its trading partner 

does not recognize events until the point at which goods are received. Another instance occurs when a Buyer and Seller cannot recognize revenue in a long-term 

contract at the same proportion of performance completed because both partners use different calculation methods. 

Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) guidance states that revenue is to be recognized as goods are delivered and as services are performed, or 

in proportion to the total amount of services performed. See Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards (SFFAS) No. 7, Accounting for Revenue and 

Other Financing Sources and Concepts for Reconciling Budgetary and Financial Accounting, specifically paragraphs 34 through 45. By communicating with each 

other throughout the lifecycle of the transaction and using consistent policy for recording transactions, all Entities will have a better opportunity to report

transactions to GTAS in a consistent manner, and thus reduce the number of IGT differences.

How exactly will G-Invoicing accomplish the goal of allowing Entities to communicate and share information with one another? Fiscal Accounting is adding a 

new stage to the Buy/Sell transaction process, called the Performance Transaction. The Buyer and Seller must agree on the FOB Point at the Order level to include 

the physical delivery point for establishment of title transfer.

This determines which Performance Transaction initiates fund settlement, as reflected below:

• Source - Fund settlement is initiated by the Seller’s Performance transaction when Performance Type is ‘Delivered/Performed’

• Destination/Other - Fund settlement is initiated by the Buyer’s Performance transaction when Performance Type is ‘Received/Accepted’ or after the 

constructive receipt days, previously agreed upon at the Order level, have expired
Page 10 of 34

Published: 08/19/2022

Based upon data entered in the Performance Date and Transaction Date, both the Buyer and Seller will be able to record the accrual in the same accounting period 

and for the same amount. This selection, along with the exchange of the applicable performance record, will determine the amount to be recorded for the accrual.

Fund settlement occurs upon completion of the Performance Transaction. Entities will no longer manually create IPACs or submit bulk files to the IPAC system 

for Buy/Sell transactions. G-Invoicing will create the IPACs on the Entity’s behalf. G-Invoicing will also retrieve the remittance advice from the IPAC system and 

update the associated Orders.

FIDS recorded within G-Invoicing which both Entities should reference for their accounting transactions: 

 Performance Type – Identifies the type of performance recorded (Delivered/Performed, Received/Accepted, Advance, and Deferred Payment will drive 

accounting events; Shipped and Estimated Delivery will share information only.)

o Delivered/Performed – A Seller completes this Performance Type to indicate it has transferred control of the goods/completed services.

o Received/Accepted – A Buyer completes this Performance Type to indicate it has received the goods/services from the Seller.

o Advance – The Performance Transaction Type used for transactions in which advance payments are settled prior to the delivery/performance of any 

goods/services. As delivery/performance occurs, entries are shared to liquidate the advance and to recognize revenue/expenses.

o Deferred Payment – The Performance Transaction Type used for work in progress transactions to communicate the amount/percentage of work 

completed, but to settle funds later from work completion.

 Performance Date – The date on which the delivery of goods/completion of services takes place. The Performance Date drives the date at which accruals 

should be made for revenue/expense and accounts payable/accounts receivable. The Performance Date can be backdated while the prior period remains 

open during the first 3 days following the end of a period, or the first 5 days following the end of the fiscal year. 

 Transaction Date – The date which an entity’s authorized user enters the Performance Transaction into G-Invoicing. The Transaction Date initiates the 

IPAC Transaction and fund settlement. If a Transaction Date falls within the first 3 business days following the end of a period, or the first 5 business days 

following the end of the fiscal year, both accounting period will be open and the Entities can choose a Performance Date in a different period, than that in 

which the Transaction Date occurs. 

 Transfer Date – The date that funds are transferred into or out of the Treasury General Account (TGA). (Equivalent to IPAC’s Accomplished Date).

 Accounting Period – The fiscal period that the transaction is reflected in the General Ledger, if applicable. 

G-Invoicing Events: 

FOB Point – Source

• Seller submits Performance Transaction upon confirmation of delivery by carrier or receipt by Buyer with Performance Type ‘Delivered/Performed’. 

• Revenue/Expense accruals are recorded as of the Performance Date entered by the Seller. 

o Deferred Payment Performance Transaction would be used by the Seller to communicate performance which has occurred, but not yet billed. 

• An IPAC is automatically initiated to settle funds on the Transaction Date. Buyer may submit a Performance Transaction. (Not submitting a Performance 

Transaction infers the agreement with the Seller’s terms).

Adjustments

In today’s Buy/Sell environment, Entities spend a vast number of resources on IPAC chargebacks. They experience sizable levels of adjustments and modification 

transactions near the end of accounting periods in attempts to correctly account for reimbursable activity. In addition, chargebacks add to the complexity of 

reconciliations of Fund Balance with Treasury, Order balances, and other metrics. In some cases, chargebacks and adjustments can continue to shuffle back and 

forth between entity accounts, further complicating reconciliations and procurement work. However, as Buy/Sell data is exchanged within the G-Invoicing 

application, the number of chargebacks will be appreciably reduced. Required data needed by trading partners will be recorded within G-Invoicing and readily 

available to reference in any events of disputed transactions. 

G-Invoicing will offer Entities the ability to correct transactions via Adjustments through “negative” Performance Transactions. Either Trading Partner may submit 

a negative Performance Transaction. Adjustments that initiate fund settlement are controlled by the FOB Point: Under FOB Source transactions, the Seller’s 

negative Performance adjustment would initiate fund settlement. Under FOB Destination transactions, the Buyer’s negative Performance adjustment would initiate 

fund settlement.

Adjustments must be submitted with a Performance Date that falls within the Performance Period of the Order. The Order must reference a prior (positive) 

Performance of the same type and the Order must be in an Open status.

G-Invoicing Events (with Adjustments): 

FOB Point – Source

• Seller submits a Performance Transaction with Performance Type ‘Delivered/Performed’. 

• Revenue and Expense accruals are recorded as of the Performance Date entered by the Seller, and an IPAC is automatically initiated to settle funds on the 

Transaction Date.

• Buyer submits an informational Performance Transaction with Performance Type “Received/Accepted”.

*Later, adjustments are deemed necessary by the Buyer* 

• After determining a refund is needed, the Buyer submits a negative Performance Transaction to the Seller, showing the number of goods/services it does 

not accept. No funds are settled in IPAC.

• The Seller completes a negative Performance Transaction to adjust the original fund settlement down to the correct number of goods/services accepted by 

the Buyer. An IPAC is automatically initiated to settle funds on the Transaction Date.

Accounting Scenarios

Although these transactions are not shown in this guidance, budgetary entries for apportionment, allotment, etc. would still need made in the accounting system 

when applicable. 

Please note that throughout the following scenarios, as goods and services are delivered and payments are made, that certain entries could also require Transaction 

Codes B134, B234, B235, if funded by direct appropriation. This could also apply to reversals of these transactions. See TFM USSGL Supplement Section III for 

more details on these transactions.

Reimbursable Agreement without an Advance

Scenario 1: The Requesting and Servicing Agencies have entered an Order for $1,000 in services. The Servicing Agency creates a Delivered/Performed 

Transaction on 10/01/20XX with Performance Date 9/30/20XX and reference the September 20XX Accounting Period. 

• FOB Point = Source

o Fund settlement will occur via IPAC upon the completion of the Servicing Agency’s Delivered/Performed transactions during the October 

Accounting Period, in line with the Transfer Date. 

• Capitalization Indicator = False

• Assisted Acquisition Indicator = No. 

• The Requesting Agency agrees with the Servicing Agency’s Delivered/Performed Transaction and does not create an informational Received/Accepted 

Transaction.2

Transaction 3: The Requesting Agency creates a Received/Accepted Transaction that matches the Delivered/Performed Transaction created by the Servicing 

Agency. It is important to remember that, in this instance, no accounting transactions are needed because this is informational only. 

Scenario 2: The Requesting Agency is utilizing the purchasing contract of the Servicing Agency to buy an asset from a non-federal, third-party vendor for $5,000. 

According to the agreement, the Requesting Agency will pay the Servicing Agency, which in turn will pay the non-federal vendor for the asset. The Servicing 

Agency creates a Delivered/Performed Transaction on 10/01/20XX, with Performance Date 9/30/20XX, and references the September 20XX Accounting Period.

Reimbursable Agreement with an Advance

Scenario 1: The Requesting and Servicing Agency created an Order and agreed to settle funds in advance of goods being delivered. The Servicing Agency enters 

an Advance Transaction on 08/06/20XX to generate an advance payment/collection of funds for $1,000. On 10/01/20XX, the Servicing Agency liquidated the 

advance by creating a Delivered/Performed Transaction for $1,000, with a Performance Date of 09/30/20XX, and references the September 20XX Accounting 

Period. 

• FOB Point = Source or Destination

• Capitalization Indicator = False

• Assisted Acquisition Indicator = No 

• On 10/04/20XX, the Requesting Agency creates an informational negative Received/Accepted Transaction for $800 to indicate to the Servicing Agency

that an adjustment is needed. 

• The Servicing Agency agrees and adjusts the original Delivered/Performed Transaction on 10/04/20XX by -$200.

G-Invoicing Business Rules

Fiscal Service established a mandate in the Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) for the use of Government Invoicing (G-Invoicing) to facilitate Buy/Sell Intragovernmental Transactions (IGT). This mandate is a phased approach that requires new Buy/Sell activity to be implemented by October 2022 and in-flight activity 

to be converted by October 2023. Fiscal service will monitor Entity compliance to meet the G-Invoicing mandate by defining metrics and thresholds to measure 

compliance levels and communicating those levels to the Entity. One way in which Fiscal Service will measure an Entity’s compliance will be a comparison between 

the data that an Entity reports in the Government-wide Treasury Account Symbol Adjusted Trial Balance System (GTAS) and the Performance Transactions created 

in G-Invoicing. This document defines the G-Invoicing specifications needed to compare with bulk file data entered by agencies into GTAS, for this purpose of 

measuring agency compliance with the G-Invoicing mandate. 

Certain transactions an Entity completes in G-Invoicing create the need to post accounting journal entries within the Entity’s internal accounting records. These 

journal entries feed the Entity’s trial balance, thereby, impacting the Entity’s financial statement lines and reciprocal categories (RCs), specifically RC22 Accounts 

Receivable/Payable, RC23 Advances and Prepayments to/from Others, and RC24 Buy/Sell Revenue/Costs. The rules describe the various types of G-Invoicing 

transactions that are expected to affect the previously mentioned RCs. The dollar amounts derived from these rules will be used as the basis for comparison with the 

GTAS data. Percentages calculated from this comparison will be used to measure the compliance based on a metric of percentage thresholds which include a traffic 

light rating Green, Yellow, and Red to be reflected on the IGT scorecard. The percentage thresholds will be incrementally increased each Fiscal Year (FY). 

Performance Transaction Types

The types of G-Invoicing Transactions are Delivered/Performed, Received/Accepted, Advance, and Deferred Payment

. The Business Rules surrounding these Performance Transactions can be found at TFM Volume 1, Part 2, Chapter 4700, Appendix 8, Section 2.6. 

Delivered/Performed: Performance Transaction submitted by the Seller to indicate that they have transferred control or performed the good/service to the Buyer. 

The completion of this transaction would indicate a receivable/revenue being recorded by the Seller and should be reciprocated with expense/payable recorded by 

the Buyer. If the Order is operating under FOB Point of Source, this Performance Transaction will automatically initiate settlement through the IPAC application. 

Received/Accepted: Performance Transaction submitted by the Buyer to indicate receipt and acceptance of the goods/services from the Seller, which will occur 

after the Seller has completed a Delivered/Performed transaction. If the Order is operating under FOB Point of Destination, this Performance Transaction will 

automatically initiate settlement through the IPAC

application. If receipt and acceptance is not provided by the expiration of the agreed upon Constructive Receipt Days, automatic receipt and acceptance will be 

generated through G-Invoicing to align with the Seller’s Delivered/Performed transaction and initiate settlement.

Advance: Performance Transaction submitted by the Seller to collect an advance payment from the Buyer. The Seller will be able to initiate the Advance Performance 

Transaction to generate an advance collection/payment of funds regardless of FOB Point domain value. Completion of this Performance Transaction will 

automatically initiate fund settlement through the IPAC application. Any Delivered/Performed transactions against Schedules with an advance balance will not 

initiate settlement but should be used to draw down the advance balance on the Schedule. Upon, completion of settlement of an advance payment, the Buyer and 

Seller must record the appropriate asset and liability to reflect the advanced balance.
Page 32 of 34

Published: 08/19/2022

Calculation: Advance Payment – Delivered/Performed = Open advance/prepaid balance

Deferred Payment: Performance Transaction submitted by the Seller to communicate work completed, but not yet billed. The completion of this transaction would 

indicate a receivable and revenue recorded by the Seller and should be reciprocated with an expense and payable by the Buyer. This Performance Transaction does 

not initiate fund settlement through the IPAC application and is designed to only communicate the amount of work completed by the Seller. The amount of Deferred 

Payment cannot exceed the undelivered balance on the Schedule. Deferred Payment transactions reduce the amount of the undelivered balance for that Accounting 

Period. For Deferred Payments transactions, the amount of the accrual entry will equal the amount of the Deferred Payment transaction in G-Invoicing. The Deferred 

Payment transaction completed in G-Invoicing is only applicable to the Accounting Period referenced on the Performance Transaction (must be an open Accounting 

Period). G-Invoicing will consider this Deferred Payment amount as life-to-date and any subsequent Deferred Payment transactions submitted for the same 

Accounting Period will override the previous Deferred Payment transaction. The Performance Transactions completed by the Seller and Buyer should be reconciled 

by both entities, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis to ensure both parties agree.

Recording Capitalized Assets: When the Capitalization Indicator on a Performance Transaction is True, Federal entities should follow the Intra-governmental 

Capital Asset and Inventory Buy/Sell Transactions document concerning USSGL guidance on capitalized assets located on Fiscal Service’s website. This 

guidance demonstrates where these USSGL accounts are cross walked allowing for proper intra-governmental eliminations at year-end. The completion of a 

Performance Transaction where the Capitalization Indicator is True would indicate a Receivable/Revenue from Goods Sold along with a COGS/Inventory Asset 

being recorded by the Seller which should be reciprocated by the Buyer with a capital asset/payable and a Purchase of Asset/Purchase of Asset Offset transaction 

recorded. The use of the Purchase of Asset/Purchase of Asset Offset accounts allows the Buyer to properly record their capital asset on their books, while moving 

the transaction over to the federal reciprocal category accounts, thus reciprocating the Sellers transactions, and eliminating intra-governmental differences.

Conclusion

Fiscal Service’s intent is to provide onboarding Entities the flexibility required to meet their varied business process needs, while also ensuring there are enough 

standardization and process steps to address the accounting challenges that affect the government today. With G-Invoicing, Entities will have a mechanism to share 

information with one another, laying the groundwork to drive improved transaction processing and financial reporting, and to drive efficiency of operations 

Governmentwide! Efforts should begin now to start along the road towards full G-Invoicing implementation. 

Disclaimers

 As Entities are negotiating their GT&C and Order, they may see Budgetary accounting events at different stages of the transaction lifecycle than their 

trading partners. The enactment of an appropriation, the apportionment of funds by OMB, and the allotment of authority may all occur before or during 

this stage. In addition, some budgetary events may vary depending on the types of funds and their authority prior to the Order Stage. Agencies should 

utilize FIDS from G-Invoicing when appropriate and use professional discernment and refer to the Transaction Codes already in the USSGL TFM 

Supplement III, for budgetary accounting entries. Ultimately, agencies should refer to their respective budget office and OMB Circular No. A-11 to ensure 

budgetary entries are properly recorded.

 Each Entity's accounting office must verify the accuracy of the transactions retrieved from IPAC and G-Invoicing. Entities follow standard procedures to 

record the transactions applicable to their TAS as of the accomplished/transaction date reflected in IPAC and G-Invoicing. Further, each Entity is still 

responsible for their own Anti-Deficiency Act (ADA) monitoring.

 Reporting requirements for CARS and GTAS will not be affected by the implementation of G-Invoicing.

 G-Invoicing accommodates Buy/Sell, reimbursable exchange transactions, in which one federal entity provides goods or services to another federal entity 

and funds are exchanged.

o Fiduciary (Investments & Borrowings), Retirement and Insurance Transfer System (RITS), Treasury Receivable Accounting and Collection 

System (TRACS), Grants, Pension, and non-Buy/Sell activity will still be maintained in IPAC.

o Non-expenditure transfers should be managed in the appropriate CARS modules.

o Payments to state and local governments should continue to be disbursed through other payment mechanisms.
