Automatically Create a Vendor Lien Notice

Create a vendor lien notice to record notification from a vendor about a lien for project-related costs. You can attach an electronic copy of the lien notice you received from the vendor to the vendor lien notice.

If needed, you can select internal users who should review the lien notice. Reviewers should use the steps outlined in the Review and Approve Liens topic to review a lien notice.
Tip: You can also Manually Create a Vendor Lien Notice.
  1. Optional: If you haven't already done so, set up your lien management defaults to allow ProContractor to automatically create vendor lien notices.
    Note: If the auto-create setting in Lien Management Settings screen for subcontract changes orders is Add to Related Subcontract, then ProContractor adds the amount of the subcontract change order to the existing lien notice for the related subcontract, instead of creating a separate lien notice for the subcontract change order. You cannot manually added a subcontract change order to the lien notice for the related subcontract.
  2. Enter the purchase order or subcontract and review the Lien Notices tab to ensure that the lien notice is created.
  3. Optional: Manage the lien notice and attach an electronic copy of the lien notice.
  4. Optional: Select the users and/or the document routing distribution group that will review the lien notice.
  5. Optional: If needed, contact the reviewers to advise them to review the lien notice.
  6. Optional: On the View Tasks screen, periodically view the status of the document routing for the lien notice to monitor the review process.
