Create a Payment Schedule (Legacy)

To create a payment schedule for the subcontractor invoice as an invoice administrator.

Construction businesses operating in Australia and New Zealand are creating payment schedules to facilitate the invoice approval process, as well as claims of work performed by downstream collaborators. In a typical payment schedule workflow, downstream collaborators submit invoices for work performed. The upstream collaborator reviews the invoice and approves the amounts on the claim.

A payment schedule is then created for the invoice to show the following information:

• Claimed amounts

• All 'Approved' amounts

• Reasons for 'Rejected' amounts

• Required User Permissions

• Additional Information:

  • To automatically notify an invoice contact by email when an invoice's status changes to 'Approved', see Configure Settings: Commitments.

  • To define custom text for the footer on the payment schedule's PDF export file, see Configure Settings: Commitments.

• Turn the 'Show Amounts Subcontractors Claim' setting ON. See Configure Settings: Invoicing.

• Complete the steps in Create a Subcontractor Invoice.

• For amounts to show on a Payment Schedule, amounts must be entered in the 'Work Completed This Period' and 'Materials Presently Stored' columns on the invoice's Schedule of Values. To learn how to enter these amounts, see:
