Please see Budget and Accounting Instructions Document 2 for details on how to enter Federal Indirect Cost Vouchers. You can find it on the SWIFT Budget and Accounting Instructions page.

Help Desk Hot Topics

Q. How are changes or updates to supplier information made?

A. Both agency users and suppliers can make address and contact updates. Most often, it is the buyers who interact with the suppliers that make these changes. Download the Request Changes or Updates to Supplier Information Quick Reference Guide to learn how, when and why to make changes. The Vendor Support team is available for questions by emailing them at [email protected]. Suppliers can update their information in the Supplier Portal.
