Enable Sub-Tier Waivers on Subcontractor Invoices as an Invoice Administrator

To enable the 'Sub-Tiers' features on the 'Lien Rights' tab for subcontractor invoicing as an invoice administrator on a Procore project.

Invoice administrators can show or hide the 'Sub-Tiers' card on the 'Lien Rights' tab on the subcontractor invoices in a Procore project. The 'Sub-Tiers' card lets an invoice administrators and/or invoice contacts add billing data for each sub-tier subcontractor on an invoice. See Add Sub-Tiers to a Project Invoice. To clarify data entry guidelines, you can also add instructions. For example, you can add instructions indiciating that you are collecting waivers from sub-tiers that billed over $10,000 on the current invoice. Once enabled on a project, invoice contacts can also sub-tier billing data, upload signed sub-tier lien waivers and submit them to invoice administrators for review in a subcontractor invoice.
