Interdepartmental transfers (IDT’s) occur when one department provides a product or service to another department. The department providing the product or service will create a VT5 in *DEFINE. The credit account must be a 29 or 18 account. Do not use for corrections or to transfer funds from one account to another. Agency accounts, which begin 41-xxxx-xx, cannot be used on VT5’s. Only Service Department accounts (18-xxxx-xx) may charge a state account (14-xxxx-xx).

Additional requirements for Service Department accounts (18 accounts):

• Services must be billed consistently to all users (federal accounts charged the same as non-federal accounts)
• Billing rates cannot include unallowable costs (OMB Circular A-21)
• Billing rates must represent actual cost and should not include a profit margin
