Sub-Tier Subcontractors and Suppliers

The Oracle Textura Payment Management (TPM) system is a web-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that automates the construction payment process. The system facilitates a Sub-Tier's exchange of claims and payment schedules with Prime Subcontractors and Head Contractors for fast, secure electronic payment and compliance tracking.

The system recognises three types of Sub-Tiers:

Manual Sub-Tier
- Does not have an account on the system
- Listed on the system for tracking purposes
- Provides documents outside of the system, but statutory declarations are tracked in the system by Head Contractors
- Paid off-system by the Head Contractor or Prime Subcontractor
Statutory Declaration Only Sub-Tier (SD Sub)
- Has an account on the system
- Signs statutory declarations electronically through the system
- The parent organisation, most often a Prime Subcontractor, will enter the payment amount for work during a period on the SD Sub's behalf.
  Note: An SD Sub may be required to document suppliers for the project. The Prime Subcontractor will still enter payment information for the SD Sub. This payment amount to their organisation is not editable on the SD Sub's side when they enter payment details for their suppliers.
- Paid off-system by the Head Contractor or Prime Subcontractor
On-System Sub-Tiers (On-Sys)
- Has an account on the system
- Submits claims electronically through the system
  Note: An On-System Sub-Tier's experience of the system parallels that of a Prime Subcontractor's.
