Disbursing Funds as an Owner

The payments are ready to be disbursed after the General Contractor submits the Owner invoice. Your Owner Approvers must approve invoices before they become available for disbursement. When available, the application notifies the Disburser that invoices are available for payment.

Each payment record displays as a row in the table.

  1. Navigate to the Manage Draw Payments Page
  2. From the Manage Draw Payments page, review the comments and instructions in the Disbursement Comment box column.
  3. Confirm that the General Contractor and Subcontractors you wish to pay have amounts listed in the Available to Pay column.

    Note: If a payment is on hold, the amount will display in the On Hold column. Held payments cannot be disbursed.

  4. Optional. The Edit column shows an Edit link that leads to the Edit Payment Status page. Use the Edit link in the Edit column to alter a payment or place a hold.

    See Releasing a Manual Payment Hold for details how to release a payment hold. 

  5. Select the check box in the Select for Payment column. If your organization has selected the Manual Check Payment Setting, you can select the checks you want to disburse.
  6. Optional. Enter a Disbursement Notification.

    See Sending a Disbursement Notification for the steps to send a notification.

  7. Enter your PIN number and choose the Disburse Selected button.

    Unable to select the Disburse Selected button to disburse funds?

    If you recently updated your banking information on TPM, you need to wait for the system to validate your banking details before you can disburse funds. This is temporary and once the validation process completes, you can return to this page and continue with disbursement.

A Status page indicates the payments are queued for processing.

Caution: If you enter the wrong PIN, an  Incorrect PIN error message will display. If you enter the incorrect PIN a fifth time, you must reset your PIN.

Select Reset PIN, and the system will send an email with a link to the Reset e-Sign PIN page.

See Reset e-Sign PIN page.
