Note

The Payment Programme feature is designed for Procore users in Australia and New Zealand to satisfy the legal requirement to provide claimants with a payment programme. However, this feature is available for use by all Payment application Management users.

Objective

To create a payment programme for a subcontractor payment application.

Background

Construction businesses operating in Australia and New Zealand are creating payment programmes to facilitate the payment application approval process, as well as claims of work performed by downstream collaborators. In a typical payment programme workflow, downstream collaborators submit payment applications for work performed. The upstream collaborator reviews the payment application and approves the amounts on the claim. A payment programme is then created for the payment application to show the following information:

Claimed amounts
All 'Approved' amounts
Reasons for 'Rejected' amounts

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permissions on the Project level Commitments tool.
Additional Information:
- To automatically notify an payment application contact by email when a payment application's status changes to 'Approved', see Configure Settings: Commitments.
- To define custom text for the footer on the payment programme's PDF export file, see Configure Settings: Commitments.

Prerequisites

Turn the 'Show Amounts Subcontractors Claim' setting ON. See Configure Settings: Payment applications or Configure Settings: Progress Billings.
Complete the steps in Create a Subcontractor Payment application.
For amounts to show on a Payment Programme, amounts must be entered in the 'Work Completed This Period' and 'Materials Presently Stored' columns on the payment application's Bill of Quantities. To learn how to enter these amounts, see:
- Create a Subcontractor Payment application
- Bulk Edit a Bill of Quantities
