Create your first pay application
From tracked quantities to a finished application in one step.
WhereProject → Pay Apps → + Generate Pay App
Steps
- Set the period end date. Every entry dated on or before it is counted.
- Pick the retainage rule and percent. Prior applications set the default.
- Leave previous payments alone unless the owner paid something other than what the last application asked for.
- Generate. The PDF downloads and the application appears in the list as a draft.
What it affects
- Nothing on the project. A pay app reads the quantities; it does not change them.
Good to know
- The Excel version in the AIA form is on the application's row (XLSX) once it exists.
- Generating with earlier applications still marked draft is allowed, but they will not be deducted as previous payments — mark them submitted first.
