What's New in TPM Explore the enhancements we added this month

August 2021

Spotlight

Track and Place a Hold on Negative Payment Application

As a Main Contractor, you can now ensure that payment applications with negative amounts are not disbursed without appropriate internal procedures being followed. A new project setting (Track Negative Payment Application) allows you to track when a Subcontractor submits a payment application with a negative amount. When this setting is selected, an automatic payment hold is placed on the negative payment application and prevents disbursement via manual cheque. You can review the payment application and remove the hold using the Edit Payment Status page.

Main Contractors

Business Classification Tracking Update:

You can now track business classification goals at the Prime Subcontractor level. New buttons offer more tracking information. Select the Set Goals button to view project business tracking goals and set a new goal for a Prime Subcontractor. These goals can be tracked separately for each Subcontractor working on a project. The View Details button directs you to where you can see a list of Subcontractors. It includes both Subcontractors committed and not committed to a goal. The Analyse Goals button will show you a list of Subcontractors committed to a tracking goal.

Additionally, each business classification you track on your project displays separately in its own table with its own graph on the main page. By default, these tables display in alphabetical order.

Owners

• When working on a project you created as an Owner on TPM, you can now edit the project name. To edit a project name, navigate to the Project Settings page from the Project Settings menu at the top of any project page.
• As an Owner on a Main Contractor created project, you can choose to track invoice approval deadlines. When tracking these deadlines, optionally choose to send an email to your team when a deadline is approaching. See the Project Settings Overview for Owners on Main Contractor Created Projects topic for more information on how to use this setting.
