Understanding G-Invoicing Implementation at USDA
G-Invoicing is an online portal facilitating electronic information exchange for interagency agreements among Federal agencies. The system streamlines invoicing processes, standardizes transactions, and enhances communication for reimbursable activities. The implementation at USDA involves mandatory adoption by all agencies by June 2021, with a focus on accessing, entering, and recording agreements efficiently using G-Invoicing.

G-Invoicing Impacts to USDA Users Eddie Reso
What is G-Invoicing? Online portal for Interagency Agreements serves as the broker Mechanism by which agencies arrange and negotiate information electronically A data exchange platform common to ALL Federal Agencies Facilitates the exchange of information between Federal trading partners Has well-defined lines of communication, and is the origin for sharing data and exchanging information on reimbursable activity
G-Invoicing - 4 Parts Part 1 The Agreement Form 7600A: General Terms and Conditions (GT&C) Agreement Part 2 Placing Orders Form 7600B: Order and Funding Part 3 Performance Invoicing for Goods or Services Provided Standardized Seller-Generated Interagency Invoice Part 4 Settlement Invoicing and Payment G-Invoicing will create IPAC transactions (terms pre-defined in GT&C) Terms can specify, automatic IPAC upon invoicing, or require approval
G Invoicing High Level Overview
G-Invoicing Implementation Mandatory for all Federal Agencies All Federal Agencies must me implemented into G-Invoicing by June 2021 USDA is currently developing implementation plan Agreements between USDA Agencies will NOT be in G-Invoicing Intra-USDA agreements will be recorded in the newly developed IAA Module of the EZFedGrants system, which is interfaced to FMMI The new USDA-IAA process for Intra-USDA agreements will continue to utilize the current FMMI internal INTR Process for recording payments and collections
Step 1 The Agreement USDA FMMI Agencies will use the G-Invoicing portal for entering agreements Obtain access from Treasury Fiscal Service Federal trading partners must also be in G-Invoicing to complete agreement USDA plans for G-Invoicing Agreement data to be pulled from G-Invoicing and interfaced into FMMI. G-Invoicing will be the data entry point for agreements
Step 2 The Orders USDA s initial vision is for agencies not to enter orders in G-Invoicing Enter the Purchase Order in FMMI as done today, for all orders An interface will be built to transmit Purchase Order Data to/from FMMI to G-Invoicing Special Notes about CARS and Component TAS G-Invoicing does not support String TAS Although FMMI still uses String TAS s - Application of Funds, this is only for front-end user convenience. Behind the scenes the component TAS is stored and transmitted to Treasury for reporting. USDA Users will need to be familiar with the component TAS format
Step 3 Performance/Invoicing USDA s initial vision is for agencies not to enter performance data in G-Invoicing G-Invoicing Order Data from USDA customer agencies will be downloaded from G-Invoicing An interface will be built to use G-Invoicing Order data to create Sales Orders in FMMI As goods and services are delivered, resource related billing will run as currently done to produce AR Invoices An interface will be built to extract and send FMMI Billing Data to G-Invoicing to record performance
Step 4 Settlement In Regards to USDA as the Vendor/Performing Agency: G-Invoicing will receive data from FMMI to record performance G-Invoicing system will trigger IPAC transactions to accomplish collections Settlement terms recorded on established agreements will dictate when the IPAC collections are generated: FOB Shipping IPAC transactions will be automatically generated FOB Destination Customer agency will have to manually approve invoice in the G-Invoicing portal before IPAC transactions will be generated Collection confirmation data will be available from both G-Invoicing and IPAC systems for downloading and recording in FMMI
Step 4 Settlement (cont.) In Regards to USDA as the Customer/Receiving Agency: The USDA Trading Partner will record performance data in G-Invoicing G-Invoicing system will trigger IPAC transactions based on GT&C Terms USDA will download IPAC disbursement transactions from either the G-Invoicing or IPAC systems IPAC transactions will be loaded to FMMI and matched against Purchase Orders to record Accounts Payable invoices and cash disbursements as currently done
Summary of Implementation Status Decision made USDA agencies will utilize the G-Invoicing Portal for entering agreement data USDA will not use on-line portal for entering ordering and performance data, but rather electronically load this data, as suggested by Fiscal Service SAP must provide solution for its Federal customers SAP is currently working with its Federal customer agencies to gather requirements, address concerns, and provide demonstrations on protypes

GSA G GSA G- -invoicing Implementation Plan invoicing Implementation Plan Currently GSA has several approaches for intergovernmental transactions Buy/Sell: Formal Agreements (Assisted Acquisition, Reimbursable Work) Recurring Services (Rent, Vehicle Leasing, Telecom) Requisition Services (Supplies) The three approaches require different actions in the implementation plan.
Formal Agreements Formal Agreements Upload existing agreements Customers continue to use GSA portals GSA, through an interface, uploads orders to G-invoicing on the customer s behalf
Recurring Services Recurring Services Rent, Vehicle Leasing Create GT&C - based on Agency Location Code using the services. GSA creates orders in G-invoicing on the customer s behalf GSA creates performance records monthly Telecom New business model. Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract agencies pay vendor directly and will not utilize G-Invoicing
Requisition Services Requisition Services Customers order through online eCommerce systems, phone calls or at a retail store. No formal agreement Validation process in place Customers continue to use sales portals Millions of automated transactions per year Inserting G-invoicing approvals into the process could negatively impact timeliness Exploring options - export data to G-Invoicing
