Creating Split Payments and Joint Checks

Use the Payment Status page to cut a joint check to a Sub-Tier Subcontractor or Supplier. Joint checks are created as split payments on the system.

You may also need to create a split payment to partially pay a Subcontractor or to reflect the Subcontractor was manually paid outside of the system.

See Creating Partial Payments.

To create a split payment, a Subcontractor's invoice must be approved.

Navigate to the Payment Status Page
To access the Payment Status page:
1. From the Payment/Lien Waivers section of the Draw Home page, select the Manage Payments link.
2. From the Edit column on the Manage Draw Payments page, select the Edit link.
From the Invoice remaining balance, split payments, and partial payments section of the Payment Status page, select Add Split Payment.
An Add split payment drawer opens.
In the Payee field of the Add split payment drawer, enter the name of the organization receiving a joint check.
In the Payment Amount field, enter the amount to pay the organization. This amount will be paid by manual check.
In the Date Paid field, select the calendar icon and choose a date from the dialog box.
In the Check field, enter the check number used to pay the organization.
Select Add.
- An Added split payment successfully message displays at the bottom of the page.
- The Payment Method changes to Split.
- The Payment Amount is adjusted.
- The Payment Status changes to Held.
- A new row displays details for the split payment.
  The split payment includes the following:
  - The Date Created displays the current date.
  - The Payment Method is Check.
  - The Payment Amount shows the amount you entered.
- The Manage Draw Payments page shows the split payment.
  Caution: Textura automatically places the Subcontractor on a Split Payment Confirmation Hold until they confirm the split payment. The Subcontractor must agree to the recorded amounts before you can disburse the remaining ACH payment.

Notes:

If a project includes the Track Split Payments project setting, the payment will remain on hold until the General Contractor also releases a General Contractor Split Payment Tracking Hold.
The Subcontractor still receives payment electronically.
