Manage Textura Payment Accelerator programs for Head Contractors

The Textura Payment Accelerator program (TPA) is a solution provided on the system. A TPA enables Head Contractors to provide early payments to Subcontractors. The Head Contractor collaborates with a Funder and the Oracle Support team to configure the program.

The Head Contractor still disburses the payment, but the payment is funded by a third party.
On the maturity date, the payment amount is automatically deducted from the Head Contractor's account.

High-level Steps

Contact your implementation team to set up a Textura Payment Accelerator program.
Create a TPA Manager.
To manage a TPA program, a user must have Manage TPA permissions. Add this permission on the Edit User page. See Edit User for Head Contractors.

A user with Manage TPA permissions automatically has View All Organisation Projects permissions.
Set up a TPA Project.
- A TPA Manager can use the TPA tab of the Project Settings page to add a project to a Textura Payment Accelerator program. See Editing TPA Project Settings.
- Once an program is selected and saved, then an TPA Manager can use the tab to select TPA project settings.
Subcontractors are offered enrollment in a TPA based on the program setup and project settings.
Set up notice of lending tracking. A TPA Manager can use the Track Notice of Funding page to track the Notice of Lending compliance of project participants on TPA projects.
See Setting up Notice of Lending for your Organisation
Note: The Track Notice of Funding page is also used by Notice of Lending Organisations.
Optional. Set TPA overrides. A TPA Manager can use Edit Organisation TPA Overrides to block a TPA enrollment for a Subcontractor.
See Edit Organisation TPA Overrides.
Manage TPA Subcontracts.
- A Subcontractor's TPA Status and TPA Rate display on the Subcontract Listing and Contract Maintenance pages.
  See Subcontract List and Managing Subcontracts
- The Contract Status page shows TPA in the Method column. It also includes a Funded column.
  See Contract Status for Head Contractors.
- The Manage Progress Claims page shows TPA in the Payment Type column.
  See Manage Claims.
Disburse TPA Payments.
- When an Authoriser uses the Authorise Payments page to provide a disbursement authorisation for a TPA payment, the Payment Method column displays TPA for subcontracts enrolled in the TPA program
  See Authorise Payments.
  The Funded column will indicate when the TPA payment is funded
- When a Disburser uses the Manage Period Payments page to make an TPA payment, the Payment Method column displays TPA for subcontracts enrolled in the TPA program
  See Manage Period Payments.
- When a Disburser uses the Enterprise Wide Disbursement page to make a TPA payment, TPA payments are called out in the summary and the Payment Type column displays TPA for subcontracts enrolled in the TPA program.
  See Enterprise Wide Disbursement.
Review Maturity Payments.
At the end of the maturity interval, payments are automatically deducted from the Head Contractor's account. TPA Managers can review these payments on the TPA Maturity Payments page.
See Reviewing TPA Maturity Payments.
