Printing Lien Waivers

You print lien waivers for subcontractors as part of the payables check process. You can also track multiple lien waivers for the same job.

If the Pay When Paid option is marked in the Subcontractor Options window, you must release the invoices for payment before you can print lien waivers. See Releasing a Payables Hold.

Setting up Lien Waivers

1. Select Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Subcontractor Setup > Subcontractor Options.
2. Mark the Track Multiple Lien Waivers per Job/Subcontractor checkbox.
3. To specify a minimum amount that a check must contain before a lien waiver can be printed, enter that amount in the Print Lien Waiver for Job When Check Payment to That Job Exceeds field. This amount should be less than the check amount in Payables Management. If this amount is zero, which is the default, a lien waiver will print for all invoices.
4. Select Save.

Printing Lien Waivers with the Checks

You can print lien waivers as part of the check posting process in Microsoft Dynamics GP. You can also restrict the printing of lien waiver for specific cost codes. See Assigning a cost code to a master subcontractor for more information.

Completed lien waivers are generated only for payables documents that are fully applied. If a payable has been processed that is not fully applied, a blank lien waiver will appear. Also, if you post checks using series posting or master posting, the Print Lien Waivers window will not appear.

1. Process and print checks as you normally would. See the Microsoft Dynamics GP Payables Management Manual for more information. When the check processing is finished, the Print Lien Waivers window opens. There might be a slight delay before the Print Lien Waivers window opens.
2. Enter a starting and ending check number for checks that have just been printed.
3. Select Process.
