All suppliers are required to establish the IAM as a single point of entry for IA negotiations with new receivers, and for requests from existing receivers to make changes to support arrangements. (paragraph 4-6)

The IA is the starting point of an end-to-end financial process composed of a commitment, obligation, reimbursable order, reimbursable transaction, invoice, disbursement of funds, financial accounting system reconciliation, yearend close-out, archiving, and audit. (paragraph 1-24)
