Objective
To approve or reject the line items on a subcontractor payment application using the project's Commitments tool.

After these permissions are assigned, you can then navigate to the payment application using either the project's Commitments tool or the project's Invoicing tool. This tutorial shows you how to review your project's payment applications using the Commitments tool.
