How to: Create an application for payment to submit to your general contractor.

Environment: Comsense Enterprise

In this article: 

Preparing Your Project

In Comsense you can only create Application for Payments for projects. When a contractor requires AIA, you must complete the work through a project rather than a sales order.

Project Sections

The project sections:

• Are the project billing groups
• Should correspond with the predetermined schedule of values
• Cannot change after you source material for the project

Change Orders

The project's change orders:

• Are their own line items next to project sections in the application for payment because they represent a change to the contract
• Only show up on the application for payment if they are approved
  
  • Make sure the Approval Number field of the Detailing Projects window is filled

Taxes

An application for payment for a project with tax included appears differently than a project without. If your project does not include taxes in the contract price, there is an extra line item on the first page of the application for payment. 

Before creating your application for payment, make sure the Tax Included Contract checkbox in the Detailing Projects window corresponds with the contract details.
