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.
A sub-tier is any subcontractor (for example, a subcontractor, supplier, or vendor) who furnishes materials, supplies, or services connected to the first-tier subcontractor's obligations on a commitment. In Procore Pay, a first-tier subcontractor is the 'Contract Company' who enters into a commitment contract with a General Contractor. Both first-tier and sub-tier contractors might hire additional sub-tiers (for example, third-tier, fourth-tier, and so on).
If you only want to collect sub-tier waiver signatures from sub-tier subcontractors who invoiced over a certain amount (for example,$10,000.00), type the instructions and the amount in the text box. If you require notarized signatures on sub-tier waivers, include that in the instructions.
The 'Instructions from [General Contractor Name]' area on the sub-tiers card. If you are NOT required to collect waiver information on an invoice, the 'Sub-Tier Information for This Invoice' card appears on the invoice. If you are required to collect waivers for the current invoice or a previous invoice, the card name(s) match the project's waiver collection requirements set on the Invoicing tool by an invoice administrator.
