Liens Subtask

Use this subtask of the Subcontractor Payment Control block to maintain information regarding subcontractor liens. A lien is a legal claim against another's property and care should be used when creating or releasing liens.

Each vendor/project combination (this includes all levels of the project) can exist only once. If more than one lien exists for the same vendor/project combination, click to enter more than one lien on this screen. After you save a lien, payments to this vendor are held via their voucher vendor ID until the lien is released.

To learn more about subcontractors, see Subcontractors.

Use this subtask whenever you need to maintain information regarding subcontractor liens.
