17
17 IPP Intra-Governmental Automation The Internet Payment Platform (IPP) is a U.S. Treasury program for processing electronic orders, invoices and payment information It is provided by U.S. Treasury at no charge to agencies IPP was originally set up to handle commercial transactions between agencies and suppliers It has been enhanced to support Intra- Governmental Buy/Sell transactions between agencies (IPP Intra-Gov)
