How Partner Contributions Are Processed for Specific Accounts and Projects

Partner contributions associated with an account set or a project set are reserved for specific costs. They’re drawn against cost distributions that have matching account or project information. This helps to ensure that:

• Contributions designated for specific accounts or projects are used exclusively for their intended purposes.

• Distributions for specific accounts or projects aren't funded by contributions meant for other accounts or projects, or by contributions that aren’t assigned to any account or project.

This enables you to align the use of partner contributions with the terms in the joint operating agreement.

If a stakeholder has multiple partner contributions, some with and some without an account set or a project set, the contributions are processed according to their level of detail, with the most detailed contributions processed first. The processing order is as follows:

1. Partner contributions with both an account set and a project set

2. Partner contributions with only a project set

3. Partner contributions with only an account set

4. Partner contributions with neither an account set nor a project set

If a partner contribution is unavailable, for example its balance is zero or it isn't in Available to Draw status, then the process draws from the next available partner contribution in the order described here.
